Copicendium... my first cards published!

Wow!  This has taken me ages to finally get around to posting, but I have been sooo busy it just kept getting bumped down the list of priorities...  Anyway, I just wanted to toot that I have two cards published in the Mad for Markers first Copicendium publication!  There are some ah-maaay-zing cards in this mini magazine... fabulous colouring inspiration!

Leave me a lovely comment and I will randomly choose a name to send a copy of this mini magazine to.

Here's the first card...

I am in love with these gnomes from Pink Cat Studio... they are just so cute!  The papers on this card are from October Afternoon and Crate Paper and the shapes are cut with my Slice machine.  The main sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and the Hello banner stamp is from Maya Road.  I coloured this cute wee gnome with copics (see details below).

Here is the second card:

This image is from Elisabeth Bell (coloured with copics) and the papers are from Cosmo Cricket and October Afternoon.  The shapes are cut with my Slice machine.  The sentiment is from Pollycraft.

Here are the copics I used:

The stamp is an Elisabeth Bell digital stamp, coloured with copics, and the papers are from October afternoon.  I have put Stickles around the frame of the girl and added white dots to her head scarf with my white gel pen.  I fussy cut the background paper to have the song Merry Merry May Day displayed as this card is for a May birthday.
