Hope you're all having a good week. It's bitterly cold here in NH, hope it's warm where you are. I know I won't be leaving the house unless I absolutely have to, so I think I'll be doing some stamping! How about you?
Speaking of some stamping, my friend Janna came over for a visit last night and while the kids were watching some TV, we got to stamp a bit. We both decided to play along with this week's Whiff of Joy challenge, which is to use purple and green and of course a Whiff of Joy image. I just love this color combo, so I knew I had to play! I only have one Whiff image, so I went with Melinda Blowing Kisses.
My purple color is Elegant Eggplant and the green is Mellow Moss. I also used a printed paper from a giant prints pack I have. The ribbons are SU! organdy, grosgrain, and gingham. I also added a Prima flower, button, and piece of wire as an accent. The image was stamped with Versafine ink and colored with Copics. I also added some of my daughters Elmer's glitter glue to her wings. Janna and I both agree that we like this glitter better than Stickles!I do have a question....which ink do you prefer to stamp your images in when coloring with Copics? I bought Versafine as it's one that's recommended for use with Copics, but I find that it still bleeds/runs when you touch the markers to it. I don't heat set the ink, but I do wait a while for it to dry. Any suggestions?
Well, thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a great Thursday, stay warm! Happy Stamping!!

Great purple/green combo! This is a stunning image! I use memento ink for promarkers which are alchohol pens we can get easily in the UK.

Hi Denise! Fantastic card. So sweet! I LOVE Memento ink. It is amazing with copics. Never smears and you do not have to heat set it! It is the only one I use now! Hugs Jeanette

Beautiful! I just got that stamp & can't wait to ink it up, but I need to mount it on cling foam yet. Need to buy some.
Super cute - love the wings and the flower "stems."
A fabulous card! I love your colour combination, colouring and design. I'm looking into the ink thing too and I've heard that the Memento ink is the best as mentioned above.
The card is gorgeous. Beautiful layout.

Beautiful card Denise! I've got this stamp waiting to be inked up. I use Versafine but just stamp mine out the day before and it's usually OK although do experience a couple of problems now and again. Looks like the Memento is the one to get!
I love this! My fav colors and that image is so sweet. Beautiful card!
Breathtaking! I love the fresh clean look of your card Denise, stunning details too
