Tons of Love!

Here's another There's Magic in The Air with Paper Cup Cakes challenge! Oh how I love these adorable images!!! Thanks so much, Nina. This "Tons of Love" image by Nina is a freebie this week for the challenge, "RBG's" by Olga. She wants us to use red R ibbon, B uttons, and G litter or something that S parkles. I have used red, (and white) ribbon, a pink button, and red Stickles. This little elephant gal was fun to color. I used Bic Mark it permanent markers. I'm not sure if I like them or not. I am not experienced in shading and highlighting. My poor little elle had her legs and hearts cut off when I printed her. I couldn't get it right with my photo printing software. I have a B-I-G, (5x7) image, but she wouldn't fit! LOL Click here to see the challenge and the DT cards, and to get your free image.

Hi Lori! I think your card is just delightful! Love how you gave Ellie a big heart, and girl, you covered up the leg thing beautifully! That's what's so much fun about stamping! You did a fine job with your Bic's - I tried them once and just couldn't make them do what I wanted them to do! Great job! Thanks for joining us at TMITA/PCC this week - hope to see you back next week!

Great job meeting the challenge Lori! And even working with the modified image (guess that comes from working with emotionally impaired students! I'm psychologist in a school district so I'm familiar with this population...wow!) My suggestion for the markers...just keep practicing...when I was learning to use mine I would print out at least two images...one for a rough draft of coloring and then one for the final...it really helped. Thanks for playing with us this week at TMITA/PCC and hope you come back again next week!

oh Lori, loved how you extended the heart off the card! she is adorable!
I started out with Bic Markers and found they were absorbed so much by the paper (a little less with heavier cardstock) that the color would sometimes be darker than I wanted. They are tough to blend...if you can blend them! so your elephant is an even a bigger hit since it was done with them AND you somehow got them to blend! well done!

Well, even if your images got cut off, it still is a wonderful card!! Did you know you can bring your images up in micro word? I have that on my blog on the side bar and also on my store site as well as a tutorial on how to color and shade with the Bic Mark-its (under lessons), so make sure you check them both out.. but anyways you card still turned out cute and she looks cute holding that big heart with her trunk!! just lovely! Thanks for playing along with our challenge this week over at TMITA/PCC! Hope to see you next week!
