How can it be Monday again already (well, practically...late Sunday night)?! Hope your weekend was a good one! In quite the contrast from my last posted card...today's card is simple and clean with few elements on it! I like this style too, and was definitely inspired by this week's inspiration image at the iCopic Blog. The first thing that caught my eye was the amount of white space. This gives you the feeling of calm. There is very little color in the image and so it pops off the page at you. I used a Copic Marker for my sentiment...colored directly onto the stamp (R85)!
Here is my card:
This is the inspiration image and the color for the challenge...pink, yellow and white. I used the "cake" theme for my card too, but instead did cupcakes.
Lots of yummy layers and lots of white. I think by now you've been alerted to my passion for polka dots! One little cherry bling I found in my stash finishes off the card. I distressed the edges of the top white layer to give the card some texture. Clean and simple.
Sending you sweetest wishes for a great week ahead!
Adorable! Absolutely adorable! Love, love your take on that photo inspiration. It's perfect. Totally love all those polka dots and love your layering. Adds such much interest to a clean and simple design.

How sweet! I was admiring your coloring techniques on the iCopic site. I am trying to get the hang of coloring skin tones but my ink keeps bleeding, what are you using to stamp your images? I've tried staz-on and momento...BTW, thanks for the stickies next to your tutorial, great idea!

yummy card! I'm intrigued that you used your copic marker directly on your stamp.. was it a rubber stamp or a clear one? Does it "hurt" the stamp at all? I've never tried it because I thought the alcohol might damage the stamp... just curious! :)

Never tried to color the stamp with Copics will try it today.
