I made this card for my FIL, Ray and his wife Joy. They just lost their cat Molly. Molly was 14 yrs old and it was a shock when her time came.
I used this stamp that I bought while we were on our trip.
I thought this image was perfect for this card.
I coloured the sentiment stamp with my Stampin' Up markers before I stamped it.
I only had a black ink pad with me. So these markers worked perfectly.
I coloured it in with my Copic markers.
I am trying to keep track of which colours I use on which cards.
So far I am just writing them on a scrap piece of paper. Any better ideas?
I was thinking of printing out tiny pictures of my cards and then adhering them to say, a recipe card with the colours documented beside them.
What do you think?
Would you like me to post the colours I use on future projects?
To many questions for a Monday, lol.
We had to leave the cottage early as we had to bring Heather to grease the trucks. Of course the weather was beautiful.
As she was greasing, Hubby went to bulldoze and I did my bookwork. Month end is almost complete :)
Now Hubby and I are watching War of the Worlds for the 100th time, lol.
We tend to re-watch movies that we enjoy....not just twice, but many times.
Hope you all enjoyed a creative Monday.

Love this card, so cute! Sorry to hear about Molly. Sad to lose a pet after so much time. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card. I know from experience how difficult it is to lose a pet unexpectedly and I"m sure this card will bring a smile to their faces. It would have mine.
ReplyDeleteI tend to re-watch movies I really enjoy, too.
Gorgeous card Tracy. I wish I could colour like that, mine never looks as good!
ReplyDeleteWhen I do a digi LO in photoshop I save any info on a separate layer. It doesn't show but I can always find what I need to know. It would work for cards too.
Your coloring is getting really really good, not that it was ever bad but now it's really really good. I'm still mesmerized by those balloons you did, lol.
ReplyDeleteIf you take pictures and blog about the colors you used on your images, then you wouldn't really need to do the extra work of printing out the pictures and writing up a recipe card. I think pretty soon you'll be able to tell what you used just by looking at it :)
Gorgeous card with such a cute image♥. I love your colouring.

Your card is so beautifully colored. Great work. I think I'd try using an Excel Spread sheet to remember what you used where.
ReplyDeleteAdorable and a beautiful job coloring.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Tracy. Losing a kitty is so hard. :(
ReplyDeleteI know I've seen some people set all the copics they've used on a card aside, and then photograph them together, so you can see the color codes on the caps. *This obviously works best for sketch markers, since the CIAO markers don't have the color code on the cap.
Lovely card,cute image and love your coloring.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.:)
I love, love , love this image and your colouring and card are so gorgeous Tracy. This image would make a great feeling under the weather card too.
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting
