Surprised Baby shower for Tina

We successfully surprised my friend Tina with her baby shower. Had lots of fun. I made a few items for decorations and a mini album/guest book for her. Everyone signed it and there was still room left to put baby's picture. ;) here are some pics with Tina and my oldest Kaylee.

Saving the Evidence

So as my craft skill progress, my phone is also filled with pictures. So I'm using this blog post to upload all images from my phone that i have done, so I can save them here. That way I have more room to take pictures of more crafts.

Itsy bitsy polka dot bikini card

I met a great friend on the last vacation we went on a cruise. I had forgot to pack my swimsuit. Yes we went to Mexico and I forgot to pack it. I figured we could buy it once we got there, but No where in cabos do they sell bathing suits. So Melissa, was nice enough to give up her Brand New Victoria secret black n white bikini for me. So I decided then I had to make her something. ;) and here it is. She has red hair too btw. I hope she will like it.

My first colored image card

Here is what I came up with. ;) finished this pretty fast. I think I'm beginning to like cards more because I can finish them within one night. I used to Digi stamp Saturated Canary "thank you" love love these images.

This is my fourth try on copic coloring and I would have to say the markers make you feel like a pro. Although I did use promarkers and copic combine, it didnt make too much of a difference. I did have trouble with the promarkers bleeding and I had to get used to it because the copics did not. Other than that I think I did fairly well on the blond hair. Hair is the hardest part in my opinion.

First copic colored image

Saturated Canary, oh how I am in love with these images!!! I want to color more, do more lots more. I had originally bought Marci images first, but I started coloring these first and now I can't stop. Such nice and satisfying result in such little time. I've still got a lot more learning to do.

My first copic image coloring

So I will prob never want to look at this image again one of these days when I've master my skill at Copic. But for now I'm pretty satisfy with my first try. Definitely understand why a person "Must" have all the colors to contour and shading on the images. I've got a lot more videos and tutorials to watch

June sketch by Tsunami Rose

I have never done anything grungy before. There was an offer by Devon to do a grungy tag swap and this is what I came up with using Tsunami Rose sketches. I'm pretty happy with the result.
