Copic Tidbit:
I need refills. What ones should I buy? My answer to this is to buy the lightest colors in the blending group that you have put together. So, for instance in the card that I have posted below, on the dress I have used RV00,RV02,RV04, and RV06. So which color did I use the most of? It's the RV00 and then next RV02. These are the refills that I would buy for this blending group. Eventually you will have to buy the darker refills, but not for awhile, because you are using very little of that color. So go through your blending groups and buy the lightest colors in that group.


Today I have posted another Christmas card, "Tilda with Candy Cane". The paper that I used for the backgrounds was from the "Little Yellow Bicycle" . The pack is called "25 Days of Christmas". Check it out it really has a great selection of papers. The placard for the background was cut with a Spellbinder die. The sentiment stamp is from Just-Rite Stamps. Although the coloring was simple with my Copics, putting the card together is my difficult part, but I think it came out pretty cute.

I added some xmas tree brad to the corners, I don't have the slightest idea where they came from, part of my stash. The poinsetta is from "makingmemeroies". Add a little Red Spica pen to the candy cane, and walla, it's done.

The colors used for this card are;

CandyCane; R29 and red Spica Pen Shoes; E11,E13,E15 Hair; Y11, Y21, E97,E99 Dress; RV00,RV02,RV04,RV06 Socks; B01,B02,B04
Hope you enjoy my rendition.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!
