Hello Stampers~
I have another masculine sample for you today. I used the Fishing With Dad set from Our Craft Lounge along with some more Max & Whiskers patterned paper from Basic Grey. The colors in that paper pack are just perfect for masculine cards!
I colored the image with Copic markers, and used the Air Brush System for the background. I just ordered a bazillion refills for my Copics, some from Carpe Diem and some from Oozak. It was quite eye-opening to order from both places. I ordered from CD on May 1st and had to pay shipping because they don't do free shipping on refills. I ordered from Oozak on May 16th and received free shipping on my order. Guess what? BOTH orders arrived on my doorstep today...took CD a whopping NINETEEN days to get my order to me...and Oozak took TWO days. Oh, and CD had to remove two refills from my order, because they were out of stock. Not only that, but the refills at Oozak are only 3 cents more than at CD! Guess who has all of my future business?! Oh, I should mention too, that if you create an account with Oozak, the prices will go down quite a bit...never knew this before, or I'd have probably ordered from them in the first place!
I used Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge for my layout. It was a really easy sketch to work with.
Here's a close-up of the colored image:
Have a wonderful day, friends! We're in for a bunch of gorgeous days here in NH! :)
Thanks so very much for stopping by today!
Hugs,
~Cindy
