One more thing.. Meet Sophie

My name is Sophie as of Wednesday May 12, 2010 I became a member of the St Martin Family. I'm 8 weeks old, and by the name you can tell I'm a little girl. I belong to Kurt, Jessica, Aiden and Emma St Martin and my Grandma is telling you about me. I know she really likes me. My mom is a Chihuahua and my dad is Maltese. So I'm a mutt. I'm a cute mutt and everyone love me.

Best Buds

Can you remember a time in your life, having a day like this? I can.. Did you have a dog, even a Cat or a Kitten you loved very much, sitting outside with it and just hanging out. This is one of Mo Manning images it is called little boy and dog.

I colored the image with copic markers. The color I used are E000, E00,E01,E02,E11,E13,B91,B93,B95,R21, R29,YG91,YG93,YG95,YG97. The grass was done with copic, I did use the copic MultiLiner sp 0.3 color green to add some small lines that would look like grass. The sky I did with sponges. Start from off the paper (always rub some on your paper that is your scrap paper before you go onto the card) and go from side to side. I always start with my bottom color and work up blending in the other colors. Brilliance Ink colors orange, yellow and sky blue. I did mask around the boys head. I love using Brilliance ink, Distress ink and Marvy Matchable inks for doing this.

I added a couple stickers with words. The baseballs and baseball hat are stickers also. The bat is a button, tired some Scrapper's floss color red on the button. The stamp with the birds is from Stampscapes.

Here is a real close up of the front of the card. So you can see everything.

I'm taking copic classes from Suzanne Dean, she is a wonderful teacher and a really nice person. She is have a contest going on right now, so I entered my card into her contest today. Summer time theme. Three lucky winners. It ends May 31.

If anyone is interested in taking some copic classes and would like to check it out you and go here and shee what Suzanne Dean is offering. If you do let her know you learned about it from me.
