I { Heart } You.. - I/O Oldies But Goodies

Hi All! And a Very Happy Tuesday to you! Hop your week is going Fabulously so far! It's been a Good one so far for me. It's still been chilly and rainy here So I've been coloring up a storm in my Crafts room lol.. Well, today I'm back with my latest creation inspired by a Dear friend of mine who asked me to create a Clean and Simple style card for him to give to his Girlfriend for Valentine's Day.  And as the image he picked was an Older Impression Obsession image, I thought I would play along with their latest Oldies but Goodies Challenge while I was at it.. 8-)
I Stamped my Darling Leigh Hannan Heart image, that I can't seem to locate in I/O's Store at the moment, with Memento Tuxedo Black onto  Flourishes Classic White and colored it up with my trusty Copics. I cut out my image and scored the edges with the help of my Score Pal for a nice clean look and added a touch of shading very carefully to the edges with my R43 Copic marker. For my Mats and BG layers I chose a combination red CS from my stash and some Darling digi dp's from Ann Langpap's Pup-PEA Love set. My I/O Sentiment was stamped onto a Cute little hand cut tag with Memento Tuxedo Black, scored with my Score pal and inked with my R43 Copic Marker again,so it would match my image panel. To finish it all up, I added some Stardust Stickles for a little Bling, and there you have it, Clean and Simple! 8-)  Sure Hope his Girlfriend likes it!.. 8-)

Oh and on another note, I 've had a few folks ask me to post some picks of my crafting area, But I really want to clean it up and do some Re-Organizing first, lol.. So I will post complete pics at a later date.. lol However, where I keep my Copics is actually somewhat uncluttered & after chatting with my Sweet friend Kim the other day about Copic storage, etc.. I thought would share a quick pic of how I store mine... I use a variation of an idea I saw on Better Homes and Gardens Online ... I just put empty paint cans in one of the cubbies above my, currently crazy messy crafting table, facing out so I can see all my colors.. 8-)



Hope you all have a Wonderful day & thanks so much for Visiting today!
Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Beautiful image for the CAS card! Love all the little hearts floating out of the envelope.
    Great way to store Copics Shannon! I would have never thought of that. I have mine in PVC - hard to explain.
    Hope you have a great day.

  5. Fabulous card Shannon! The image is fabulous. Storage on your Copics is great. I thought they were Mason Jars at first until I read. Great idea!!
