Copic Creations Challenge!!

....After spending so much time coloring, I decided to work work on a card for this week's challenge over at the Copic Creations challenge blog.   At first when I saw the challenge for the week, I was a bit worried about getting the technique right, but then I decided, the more I keep trying it the better I will be, and that is why I like Challenges.  They help me to continue to learn how to color with my Copics and are also a FUN way to practice.  And practice is always a good thing!   The technique for this challenge is called "Feather Blending" and it is a technique that I am happy to say I did learn, in  my "Everything Copic" class.  (Thanks Colleen for covering this in class)!  :) 
    I ended up coloring four different images before I decided which one I wanted to use for my card.  In the end, I picked out this cute floral image, because it reminds me of Spring and this year I can NOT wait for SPRING to arrive! 
  This week the prize sponsor is Susana's Custom Art and Card Design and Susana has a really nice online store with some really awesome products.   I have shopped with Susana several times have always been very pleased with all of my purchases and sher super fast shipping and excellent service.    If you have been looking for some of those wonderful Mini Prima Roses, you can find them in her store - Click Here - along with lots of other wonderful craft goodies!   Happy Shopping!!
   And if you like the image in my card, you can find it at the Digi Stamp Boutique and it is called - Bunch of Flowers.  I am finding more and more that I really LOVE Digi images and stamps and this boutique has some really adorable ones.  
   Now....I am totally exhausted and signing off for the night.  I hope you have a great Friday night and as always, Happy Crafting.

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
