It's been a long time since I've done a challenge...much less made a card! I'm trying to start the new year off right! I used Tiddly Inks new image called Wryn...she can be found HERE along with four other gorgeous versions of her. I am entering my card in to the Tiddly Inks Challenge #77 called "Celebrate" and you can find this challenge HERE.
I made my card pretty simple, mainly because I think the image is so adorable that I wanted it to stand out. I also got to use my new Christmas present for the first time...my Zutter Distrezz-it-all!
Copics used: BG10, 11, 32, 34; YG0000; G21, 24; C1, 3; E50, 51; RV91, 93, 95 and I used my Copic Spica glitter pens for some sparkle!
My BG34 was being a bad marker and gushed a little blob on her dress. I barely touched my marker to my paper and it just gushed out. I've had this happen with a couple of markers now and wondered if there were something wrong with the nibs (tips) on those markers. Well, I just posted this photo on the Copic Marker facebook page and both the lovely Melissa (from the Tiddly Inks DT) and the Copic Marker people said that it may be from pressure built up in the marker. The Copic Marker people also said it may be from over-filling the marker...but in my case...I've never refilled them. They both advised me to take both caps off both ends and lay it flat for a little bit...then put the caps back on. That helps relieve the pressure. So, I just thought I would share this with you in case you have ever had this happen and didn't know why or what to do about it. I ended up just coloring in the rest of the dress and drawing on some little stitch marks...to make it look like a patch on the dress.
Thanks for looking!
