Suzanne Dean and Mojo Sketch 142

Don't be toooo jealous when I tell you, but yesterday I got to spend the afternoon in a one-on-one class with Suzanne Dean, Copic extraordinaire!  Since I am a self taught Copic color-er (is that a word??), I was thrilled to learn some techniques from her!  She makes it look SO EASY!  I must have told her that a hundred times during our class.  When I got home last night, I was inspired to colr some images and this is one of them from the June release at Whimsie Doodles.  I've realized I need to buy some more Copics so that I have more groups of 3 shades in my favorite color familes, thoguht I did learn a trick to make one myself...  but if I tell you... well, you know.

This sketch is this week's MOJO sketch!  It's been such a long time since I played along with one of those and what fun it was.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

Bandanna Mojo Monday

This card is for today's SCS Technique Challenge and today's Mojo Monday sketch challenge. The technique challenge called for us to use the bandanna technique, which is essentially stamping a background stamp and then hand drawing (or doodling) with a white gel pen to create the illusion of a bandanna print. On my card, the bandanna print is the ballet blue strip.

Ingredients: Stamps: Stampin' Up! {Paisley Background, Doodle This}; Cardstock: Stampin' Up! {Ballet Blue, Whisper White, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip}; Ink: Stampin' Up! {Ballet Blue}; Accessories: {White gel pen, silver dot stickers, dimensionals, Copic markers, scallop edge punch}.

Mojo Monday (MOJO83)

I just made this card for the Mojo Monday challenge (check the link on my sidebar!) and I didn't stamp one thing on this card! The cupcake, candle and top note are all Sizzix dies. I made sprinkles and added sparkle to the candle by using Mono Multi glue and Dazzling Diamonds stamping glitter. I also pierced the green border of the cupcake's rectangle. I wanted to try some colors I don't usually choose.

What do you think?
