To Tame a Spirit....

Hi!

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Here's a fun little card I created by stamping, distressing, adding a handmade flower, a Prima flower, rhinestones, fibers and photo clasps.

The inside sentiment reads:  

To tame a spirit is to lose its spark, ignite the world let yourself go wild.  

There's also a cute matching box.  

Have a beautiful day!

Awesome Free Copic Marker Tutorials...

After purchasing my copic markers, I decided I really wanted to get the most out of them, so some lessons were in order.  There's a plethora of free help all over the internet on using and caring for your Copic markers, but I wanted a more structured type course.  That's when I found Debbie Hodge's "Get It Scrapped" site, which features Michelle Houghton, a certified copics instructor. Michelle gives her advice, a series of fabulous tutorials & some of her very own doodles, to help you learn to use your copic markers. 

Michelle is a fabulous teacher and I've been learning a lot.  My goal is to create something with each of my finished pieces from each of her tutorials, until I've created and finished them all!  Then I look forward to taking some of Michelle's other classes offered at her site Creative Passions.  As always, life gets in the way of my fun, so it's been slow going, but here are some of my finished projects thus far (in random order), I will add more as I finish them :):):)

Card Of Scraps...

Every now and then I challenge myself to create some cards with left over scraps of papers, ribbons, fibers, miscellaneous doodads and such.  So here are a few my "Cards Of Scraps"!
