I have had these cute, cute stamps from Pink Cat Studio for a while now. You can find Billy stamps here & Lily stamps here & this company is CANADIAN, actually my hometown. I am a big fan of Canadian companies. Next week Pink Cat Studio is releasing “Dress Up Billy” stamps, now that is exciting!
I used a couple of things new to me…Nestabilities which I bought from R&R Scrapbooking (Canadian), my Copic markers which I have had for a while, I bought there from Hanna Stamps & my Copic Atyou Glitter Pens which I bought from All That Scraps.
I started with Papertrey Ink’s Stampers Select White Cardstock because it is 110 lb & from my reading I knew that I needed to use a heavier cardstock to emboss using the Nestabilities & when using Copics I knew that it was a good cardstock to use. Now I haven’t really been practicing with my Copics, so all I did was color & than go over again on some parts to make it darker, I have no idea how to add shadowing or anything like that just yet, just basic coloring! & I used the glitter pens on Lily but, it’s hard to see, the cards look much better in person.

Michelle, this is my first visit to your blog which I’m enjoying.
I came across Debbie’s blog awhile back. She absolutely loves her copics. She has a tutorial on her blog at:

I haven’t visited recently because it just makes me want to go out and spend $$$ on Copics.
