More Make it Monday #58

Yep, so I am addicted to Copics so I made another gradient card!

This one is far more sunset and silhouettes. Here it is:

The copics I used on the background were: Y32, Y35, YR04, YR07, RV29, R29.

I then stamped some Botanical Silhouettes (PTI) in Versamark then embossed in some Zing black glitter. The sentiment is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black from Big Birthday Basics (PTI as well). Finished it off with some Copic coloured jewels and voila, done!

Make It Monday #58

On a roll with blog updates, here's something I made when I got home from work for PTI's Make It Monday.

The theme of the challenge this week is gradient backgrounds with either copics or ink refills. I chose copics (I might be an addict) and came up with this.
I wanted a kind of rough rainbow look, but I think what I actually got was a sunsetty look with some blue and green snuck in.  I really like it anyway.  I then heat embossed the sentiment on some vellum and layered it over the copic coloured cardstock. A very simple card but packs a big impact. Also very easy to mail!

And the copics I used are:

Other supplies:
White card stock, vellum, white embossing powder, Versamark and Big Birthday Wishes (PTI)

Finally another card!

This card is a celebration for three reasons, one because I've finally updated my blog again, two because it's a lovely colleague's birthday on the weekend and three because an amazingly generous person (Jen from the PTI forums) sent me a 2010 PTI anniversary set! I am still waiting on mine from PTI so I was very excited to pick this up from the post office today!

Now for the card:
I wanted to create a pannelled look, with some bright colours. I used Stampin' Up! Craft inks in olive, daffodil and melon and Memento Tuxedo Black. Stamps are PTI (Happy Trails and Botanical Silhouettes).  Excuse the iPhone photo, I don't have a better camera at the moment!
