GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE! I got a late start on posting today’s project. I had to dash off to the dealership because the service light came on in the car. Luckily it was just a warning that it was time for an oil change and some other mileage related maintenance. I squeezed in a little shopping and a lunch out before heading back home and finishing up my card.
Today’s card is my entry for Honey Bee Stamps Buzzworthy Challenge #27. In case you couldn’t guess, the theme is pink! At first, I was tempted to throw everything pink in my stash at this card – inks, embossing powder, cardstock, embellishments, Copics, embellishment mousse – but decided to dial back my Barbie pink enthusiasm and just make a few choice selections!
I had some soft pink cardstock in my stash so I used it as a neutral background and built from there. I knew that I would use the Spring Blossoms stamp set so I let the flowers take front and center and made everything else (i.e. stencil, sentiments and embellishments) complement the flowers rather than compete with them.
Hope you found some inspiration. Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you again soon!

Yet another great card Nancy
Which paper do you use with the copic markers? I am looking for one that is white (not gray toned) and will be forgiving as I learn to use these markers….What do you suggest?
When I want a white Copic compatible paper, I use either Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Cardstock or Hammermill Digital Cover (100 pound). They both have different blending properties from X-Press It, but once you adjust, they work fine. The Hammermill paper is used by Jennifer Dove at her Copic Boot Camp and it’s probably a little more forgiving than the Spectrum Noir.
