COPIC CERTIFICATION

I spent the most incredible weekend taking the Standard and Intermediate Copic Certification classes with the most wonderful instructor, Cindy Lawrence.  I learned so much, but now I want to go back and redo all the cards I've already done because Cindy taught us how to make better choices in colors, shading and highlighting...among a million other techniques.

I NEED to practice all these new techniques before I upload any new Copic-colored cards, so today I'll just share what I've been doing for the last few weeks.  I've been having a blast making rolled and layered flower cards...die-cutting, some embossing, but no coloring.

Because of the thickness of some of the flowers, I decided to mail one to myself to see how it would survive Post Office handling.  I placed it in a slightly larger envelope so I could put a cardstock collar around the flowers to protect them.  Little did I think it would cost $1.95 to mail it!!!!  Thankfully, it did arrive undamaged, but I think I'll have to save those cards for hand-delivery...either that, or take out a second mortgage!

In any event, here are some of the cards I made.  All of the materials are listed on my Splitcoast gallery where my screen name is carleneanne.
