Something Different

First off, I'd like to give a shout out to my darling girl - she entered her first art competition today at the Englewood Youth Art Fair. She loves making messes just like her mom. :-) I hope it ends up being a really good experience for her.
So, let's get back to me. (LOL) I had thought about trying to convert one of my fine art pieces into a "digi stamp" I could call my own and after weeks of saying :I should try that", I finally did. The card below is the result of my efforts and I have to say I'm happy with how it turned out. I mean, if I'm going to be Copic happy, I should at least have some work that I can say is entirely me. I will say though that I think the next one I convert is not going to have a bunch of chevrons on the side to color. I thought my eyes were gonna cross.It'll be a bit more simple. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!
Until next time,
Jodi

I colored this with my Copics (of course) and used Coredinations cardstock. I got to use my fabulous Tim Holtz ruler to space out the brads (it's got little holes in the ruler so you can see what you're doing - literally because the ruler itself is clear.) The converted art is my piece entitled "Ancient Voices"

Wonderful Surprise!

Good Morning All!
It's sketch challenge time. We have a fabulous new sketch for you, and we want to see you create! Use this sketch and an SST stamp to make a project and add it to the linky at Sweet Stamping Treats for your chance to win 3 SST stamps!

I used an image from the Spring Things collection (love those little bunnies in the basket!) The print paper is by Reminisce and colored with various Copics. Hope to see your take on the sketch!
