June Cookies / Take 1

The inspiration photo for the latest If You Give a Crafter a Cookie Challenge is just beautiful !! I knew I wanted to use the Copic markers that I just bought and just needed to find the perfect stamp set for coloring . I'm not a blending expert but love the way these markers color  and recently found them on clearance for 97 cents each at our local Michaels.  I have been staying at home for months during the COVID-19 pandemic , except for going to work and the grocery store . So I was happy to be able to wander around Michaels for a bit when they re-opened for shoppers . Plus I had seen several posts on Facebook about the Copic clearance prices  and thought I would check it out. And I got lucky and was able to get a nice variety of colors.

• I stamped the floral bouquet and sentiment from the Close To My Heart  stamp set - Every Little Thing - on watercolor paper and a piece of pink patterned paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink .
• The image was colored with my new Copic CIAO markers .
• I adhered the stamped image to a piece of Pink Paislee "Pick-Me-Up" paper  that had some gold foil accents .
• The completed panel was then adhered to a pink woodgrain card base leaving a margin around all 4 sides .
• The sentiment was cut to fit  and popped up in the lower right corner of the card with foam tabs.

I'm sure  that my teammates have  created some beautiful cards for this challenge. Take a look over at the  If You Give a Crafter a Cookie Challenge Blog for some inspiration !! We would love for you to link up a project of your own by June 24.  Thank you for visiting Meticulosity !!
