Rachael's Handmade Designs

I just love this feminine set from Mark's Finest Papers. It is the You've Got Style set and it is SO much fun. I was just having a play and not really concerned with following a sketch, but it turned out pretty cute anyways. I background stamped with the shoes offered in this set and colored them with my copic sketch markers. I stamped the boot and a handbag and popped them off with pop dots and stuck them on. A pretty simple card, but pretty cute! ;) I hope you like it. Cheers!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope your weekend was nice and relaxing. New in my shop today is a sweet little winter-themed card that was posted Saturday. I decided not to go with a sentiment for this card. I think having a sentiment on cards has a tendency to classify cards too much. At any rate, this card is clean and simple. I used a sheet of acetate to give it a cool glossy effect. This is my first time using acetate on a card that is not a shaker card. The image is a digital stamp from Anita Be Stampin. By chance, I can't seem to find Anita Be Stampin on facebook, does anybody have their link? Whenever I click the F on their website it just takes me to my own fb site. Weird. I'm going to be going into detail about how I made this card later in the week. Be sure to check back about that! Don't forget, I'm having a fall sale in the shop right now! Use coupon code "Fallsale2011" to save some money and get cute greetings. :) Cheers, Xo, Rachael

Hi All, Well for everyone who *knows* how great Copic Markers are, you can go ahead and say the dreaded "I told you so!" cuz, yes, after I bought my first Copic Markers and used them recently, I fell in love!!! They are truly *wonderful*. A bit on the expensive side, however. But I suppose, when you're purchasing pro items, you pay for the quality.  My art shop doesn't offer sets of these Copic Markers (Sketch) so instead, I just purchased individually. Below are the colors I picked up. And here was my first simple project. I'm still trying to figure out how they work. I've got the monocolor blending down (see the "Dad" banner, the red star behind it and the green behind that) but I'm still challenged with how to blend two close colors together. Any suggestions?
