My first ever Copics card! And finally a Saturated Canary


Hi everybody and a warm welcome to my place!

My word! Today I´m asking you guys to be extra gentle (not that you´re ever saying anything bad ;)) but I´m so nervous publishing this! You wouldn´t believe!
I have had Copics for about a year now and in the beginning I practised the hell out of those...but nothing helped, I couldn´t seem to get anything right - ever and my waistbasket got full very quickly ;)
In february I decided to sell them since I just stored them but nobody showed any intresst. Exept for the Ciao once that I managed to sell. I regret that now! ;) I guess theres a meaning with everything because I have been lurking around the Saturated Canary shop for ages now wishing I could try one. They are so gorgeous don´t you think? I truly adore them all! They are illustrated by the supertalanted Krista Smith, thank you sooo much Krista for bringing us these amazing images! I have been thinking I´d wait a while because my friend, Angie Hunt, will work togheter with Krista and will be the first stockist of the Saturated Canary stamps - IN RUBBER! This will happen sometime in mid july but I simply couldn´t wait ;)
I will be the first one to run into Angies online store Little Darlings where she also sells her own supercute line of stamps named just that! I have had the luck to be invited to join her team for LD last summer and unfortunatly my term with them was way to short since we found out we were expecting another baby and I felt like rubbish those first few month. I miss them all!

AND! DONT MISS THIS:

ANGIE IS ARRANGING A GIVE AWAY FOR EVERYONE OF THOSE WHO JOINS THE LITTLE DARLINGS GROUP ON FACEBOOK! ONCE THEY REACH 500 MEMBERS SHE WILL KINDLY GIVE AWAY THREE NEVER SEEN BEFORE OF THE SATURATED CANARY IN RUBBER!! JOIN THEIR GROUP HERE FOR THE CHANCE TO WIN!
Hope you do and I will see you there!

So...back to my own project with this gorgeous digi called Ellies birthday :) She is soooo adorable :) I inked her up with the few colors (42) I had left which wasn´t the easist thing to do. The weather is really cloudy in Sweden today as well so I´m so sorry for the bad pics. :(
I paired her up with the amazing dp´s from Bo bunny called Country garden collection. I follwed the amazing new sketch over at CLP Challenges, it looks like this for the month of July:


Amazing ha? I had so much fun :) Thank´s you guys!

And...I also thought I´d upload my very first Saturated canary card to their challenge blog which you can find here: Saturated Canary challenge blog. They want us to bling it on this week so I also added a Prima bling swirl and some star dust to the gorgeous Ellie. Besides that I have added a bling string to the very buttom of the card. 
 



Thank you so much for checking in with me today and pls...be gentle! ;)
Big hugs Louise xXx (whom now has 12 days left til the baby is due ;))

  9. Pretty card and your doing great. We all start off somewhere. I have stuck with the Distress Inks. I just love the Distress Inks so much, and didn't want to deal with the learning curve of the Copics. Ha!
