This is my submission to this week's challenge over at A Spoon Full of Sugar. The challenge this week is to hide a message somewhere in your card. A lucky winner will be randomly chosen to win one of the new release High Hopes stamps "Juggles".This was a fun card to make and very challenging for me as I have never made one of these before. I followed Claudia's tutorial here and this is what I came up with. I almost didn't submit this card as I used the Memories ink and even after heat setting, the ink bled a bit when I coloured with the Copics. Oh well, every card can't be perfect and this one will serve as a learning experience. So far the Brilliance ink works the best with Copics but I'm going to try the Memento ink next just so I have another option. I'm looking for an alternative to Brilliance only because the graphite black isn't as crisp/sharp as I would like it to be when I stamp an image or a sentiment.
The secret message is from one of Aud's stamps. Checkout Aud's blog for her collection of stamps. She is a very talented lady and a real pleasure to deal with. Take your time and visit a while so you can enjoy viewing her wonderful creations as well as shopping for some great stamps!I've fallen a bit behind with my blogging lately but will be visiting your blogs today. I can't wait to see what you've been up to.
Big Hugs, Maria

This is too cute Maria! I love that message! I am beginning to realize that right now - yikes! Your colouring looks great to me Maria, you are doing fine.....in my expert opinion of course .... *snort.. LOL!!!!
This is such a cute card. I love the sentiment you used and have been wanting ti buy it for sometime now. I am waiting for my Memento ink as well. You can try using the Versafine Onyx Black for the sentiment - I am currently using this for the Magnolia images. :)
This is soo cute Maria, love the card shape (haven't tried this one yet) and that new Tilda is so sweet. xx

Oh Maria...I'm so glad you went ahead and submitted this card...its fabulous!! I love the fresh colours and I love your Tilda image....it's so fresh and pretty!! TFS!! bx
PS You've inspired me to try this new shape too!! bx
So sweet. Love the image. Great minds think alike because I used Claudia's tutorial to make a card for the same challenge! Must be a Canadian thing, eh?
This is a very nice card, but I'm afraid it's not as good as the two more recent additions on your blog. You have some serious competition, Maria. ;o)
