Artful Sentiments Copic Challenge 18

Goodmorning Friends!
Summer is just moving along and I hope you are enjoying each day of it! The copic challenge colors this week make me think about summery things... watermelon, fresh green veggies and sporty water toys. I wonder what comes to mind for you?
I am exceptionally pleased to announce that Jane Bosi will be joining our copic challenge design team! I think she fits perfectly on our team and has a fresh style I enjoy.

Your copic challenge colors this week are: RV25, YG03, V06

As usual, if you do not have the exact match... try using only 1 or 2 of the colors or substitute a similar color. Have fun playing with your Copics!!

The design team presents you with some awesome cards to inspire you and get those creative juices flowing!

Embrace Life

Morning Friends
I completed this card for a VC Rocks challenge. The beautiful blossoms are from Stampin' UP and colored with copics. I used one of the pinks from the copic challenge this week- RV00 along with RV10, YG23 and Y26 (airbrushing).

I love the soft look of the completed card and this new Soft Suede brown from Stampin' UP!

Go enjoy a beautiful day!
