Color Me Creative Classroom - Copic Challenge Guest Designer

Hi again!  This is my second post today, so if you are looking for my Card Patterns DT card, please scroll down one post or click here.  I have some super exciting news to share with you!  I was invited to be a Guest Designer for the Copic Challenge over on Suzanne Dean's Color Me Creative Classroom site!!  I couldn't be more thrilled than to have my project for the new challenge posted alongside the fabulous creations from the amazingly talented design team!  I am still pinching myself!


The new challenge (#30) theme is "Boy Inspired".  The challenge is being sponsored by Mo's Digital Pencil.  I was even more stoked to hear that because I absolutely love Mo's images!  Of course, I just had to use one (or two) on my card! 

Here is my "boy-inspired" card:


I merged these two adorable Mo's images called Two Conner and Two Toby.  They can be found in Mo's store here.  I printed them on Cryogen White and colored with Copics.  The card base and mat are SU Lucky Limeade and the patterned paper is from the Basic Grey Oxford Collection.   The sentiment is computer-generated and cut out and matted with Spellbinders Labels Four dies.  I kept my embellishments simple - just a few BG buttons and some twine finished off my boy card.

I am also entering my card into the Basic Grey Challenge #56.  The theme for that challenge is "anything goes". The Basic Grey products I used were patterned paper from the Oxford collection and buttons. 

Thanks for stopping by!  And a huge thanks to Suzanne, Charlene and the whole design team for giving me the opportunity to join you as Guest Designer.  Be sure to visit the Copic Challenge Group on the Color Me Creative Classroom site and check out the awesome projects from the DT!  I'm sure you will be inspired to grab your Copics and submit your own card for the challenge!

Have a great day!
