Row of Hearts with Copics
Everyone who knows me knows that I <3 Copics! I'm still trying to perfect coloring with them and need a LOT more practice.... But here's a card I created using the new Row of Hearts stamp and Copics.
- Ink of Row of Hearts (E1904) with Black Memento ink and stamp onto Parchment Paper.
- Color hearts with various shades of Copics from R20 to R29. I trimmed this piece down to 4 3/4" X 1 1/2" and distressed with Antique Linen Distress ink using a Blending Tool and foam. Then adhere to Licorice paper 4 7/8 X 1 5/8". Set aside.
- Cut a piece Aloe paper 3 7/8" X 5 1/8" and add 3 black brads to the top left side. Then adhere to a piece of Licorice paper 4 X 5 1/4". Adhere this to a Bubblegum Note Card.
- Die cut Charlotte Border from a piece of Licorice Paper (1 X 3 7/8") and adhere behind a piece of Bubblegum Gingham paper ( 2 X 3 7/8") and attach to right side of card.
- Attach stamped image with pop up tape.
- I added Glossy Accents to some of the hearts to give the card some dimension. Not sure if you can tell...perhaps if you enlarge the photo.
I'll be teaching a class at Scrapadoodle in Peoria, IL on Monday, January 28. Here's a photo of the four cards we'll make using all new stamps and dies from MB! Hope you can join us. Get all the details on the Memory Box Classes blog.
thanks for the inspiration .... you guys have some of the best dies - just love them!

Great card, I too love my copics, use them daily, I took some class's to learn and it sure did help, and I had a wonderful teacher.
Anyway, have a great weekend.

OMG...Donna's is my fav place to shop....love, love, love her shop. I only get out there about once per month since it's a bit of a drive for me, but she's my go to place for Memory Box stamps and cs. When I get in a rut, a trip to Donna's cures my woes instantly. So inspiring to see what she has in her store. I'll send her an email for the details. Thanks.
