Card on Copic Marker Europe blog, upcoming new release and published

Hi everybody,

I know I've been quiet for to long here. I am working on things but everything is for next week. I do however have a card to show you that was on the Copic Marker Europe blog last Monday.

I made this card using the pretty Chloe by Elisabeth Bell for Whimsy Stamp's Little Cottage Cuties. The pretty paper is from a digital set by Michele Roos also available at Whimsy Stamps and this set is called Basic Vintage Papers. The stamp-sentiments are from the Everyday mini Postage stamps set by Raindrop Echo Design (also available at Whimsy Stamps) and were cut out using the matching die. And finally the corner is the same corner I have used several times now since it's been released and that corner is from THIS set. Now that's a lot of shopping at Whimsy Stamps :). The pretty flowers are all Wild Orchid Crafts and the ribbon I bought at the Knotsgekke kaartendagen (a dutch fair) and I have no idea what brand it is or what the shop was that I bought it from. Distressing has been done with Frayed Burlap distress ink and platinum stickles around the edges. Here is a close up of the image:

For the Copic marker colors used I'd like to point you to THIS post on the Copic Marker Europe blog where they are all listed. You'll also find a picture of the little pieces used to create the 3D image there.

Now next week I'll have a card to show you to celebrate a new release over at Pink Cat Studio's. My friend Melissa has asked me to be a guest designer and naturally I told her yes :). But you can already get a peak of the new release AND get a chance to win the images being released if you go to the Pink Cat Studio blog NOW and play this fabulous game Melissa created. Yes that's right, SHE created this game, she is SO clever and it's such a cute game. You'll love it so if you want to give it a try, go to the Pink Cat Studio blog HERE and read all the details.

Oh but wait, I also wanted to tell you I got published, my friend Julia Saddi asked me if I wanted to do a 3D tutorial for a Brazilian Magazine called Guia do Scrapbooking & Cia and how could I say anything else but yes. The magazine is both a printed magazine and an online one but to view the magazine up close you need to subscribe to the online magazine. The far away look is already amazing though, what a gorgeous magazine and I'm so proud to be in it. You can find the issue I am in HERE and my little piece is on page 86 and on.

So that's it for me for today but I'll be back on April 3rd for the Pink Cat Studio release. Have fun playing the game in the meantime!!

Hugs,
Mariska
