Copic Markers

Happy Tuesday!  It’s been a busy week for me here on the blog, introducing y’all to our new Design Team!  I hope you’ve enjoyed their projects and are as excited as we are to see what they will be creating and sharing in the coming months.  With all the busyness, I almost didn’t get my own project ready for you!  I decided on a quick tag for Father’s Day…

I dry embossed my tag with a fun ink splat embossing folder (by Tim Holtz) and rubbed a couple shades of brown Distress Ink over it, highlighting the design.  I know they’re a couple years old, but I still love them and I wanted to play with one of Tim Holtz’s Crazy Dogs- a mini one, and he was colored quickly with Copics & cut with the coordinating dies that come as a set of mini cats & dogs.  I love the little bone accessory as well, it makes a fun addition!

I went even farther back for my lettering on this tag… do you remember GrungeBoard?  I have a huge stash of that wonderful stuff… and dug into my alpha collections to spell out ‘Dad’ here!  I kept it super simple inking it up with the Metallique wax paint (which I also rubbed a few other spots on this tag as well to tie everything together).

I decided to mix the old with some new… and I’m giving you a sneak peek of the new O Canada! Collection by Photoplay. I’ve used some papers & ephemera from it on my tag- I hope you like it, because you’re gonna see a bunch more coming soon when we feature the collection for our June Blog Hop.  Save the date for June 22!  The Design Team is excited to share their projects with you!

Check out what’s new in the store, including the O Canada stuff!  I think you’re going to love it!

Inky hugs,

Tara
