Copic Time

I have been having such fun with this month's mini set over at My Favorite Things. Its titled "Happy Mother's Day" and till now, I've been doing a lot of paper piecing with it.

This time, I decided to just strictly color it with copics, no paper piecing. I sat and worked on it while my husband and I wrapped up a movie we'd started the night before. We both fell asleep the first night, I tell you, if I'm not stamping, its hopeless to watch a movie. I'm out like a light.

This is my submission for Cindy's sketch challenge that she runs on the MFT Member Company Forum each week. Thanks for another fun one Cindy!

The sentiment "Much Love" is from My Favorite Things "Essential Sentiments." There are lots of cute sentiments that will mix and match with many of the other stamp sets from MFT. I think most, if not all of them will work with the SU word window punch? But this one looked sweet in the oval punch and then I hand cut an oval mat for it because I don't have both of the oval punches, just one.

If you're working with copics, the best advice I have for you is practice practice. I'm using this stamp set for a swap I'm in and its been a great way to work on my coloring skills. I have a lot of paper piecing to do for this swap, but at least I've got a head start. Usually I'm cranking this stuff out only days before its due. Giggle!

Coincidentally, coloring with these babies, is very relaxing for me. A super stress reliever, so the repetition of coloring in all these ladies and their flower pots is an extra bonus for me!

Have a great day everyone!
