This card is for the Alphabet Challenge, letter 'S' . I have a snail and a sign. The Double Challenge was to Make itSpring! I used pretty spring colors and posies. =)
This one is pretty straightforward and easy. Except for the coloring. My pitiful first attempt at the Copics. While not disastrous, it isn't exactly as nice as I'd hoped. I am limited on colors... so I had to make do with what I had. I also used some Sharpies and SU markers to fill in some colors. I added some purple and white bakers twine, purple rhinestones and the sentiment inside is stamped in purple... all to pull out the color in the snail, flowers and dsp. Thanks for looking, I hope you enjoy!

This is so cute and spring-y Jennifer! I think your Copic coloring looks very good. I think the thing with them is that you need the three compatible colors for blending. There are lots of Youtube videos out there for instruction on their use. Lovely spring card!
Jennifer, I think you did a wonderful job coloring! I am impressed. Lovely Spring card, and the kitty is adorable! Love the kitty's expression as it looks at the snail, (another S). Beautifully designed card.

Jennifer, I am truly impressed this is your first attempt at copic coloring because when I look at this card, I see someone who has more experience. I liken using copic markers to driving a stick shift car. It takes a while to figure it out, but when you do - look out! You will being having fun, fun fun my friend! I absolutely adore this image of this sweet little cat looking at this snail (so funny). I love the dsp you chose, the gems and how you used your baker's twine too- very fun! What a terrific card for the letter S alphabet challenge. Hugs! ~Karen.

Pretty! Love the image with the cat and snail, so cute! I like the hanging wood sign with "hello". Wonderful Springtime colors. Fabulous job with the coloring for your first go at it. Doesn't look like it! Nice accents. Great job with Letter S. TFS

Jennifer, I love that beautiful floral dp. Very spring like. That fun image is cool too. I hope Fluffles the cat doesn't attack that cute little snail. After all, how would I get my snail mail if the snail was gone!

I think your coloring is very good. I also like your dsp that you used on your cute spring card! The look on that cat's face is hysterical, looking at the snail.
