I’ve got to tell ya, Little Elle is sick with a corneal ulcer. This is the second time this has happened and we don’t know why. Her little eye has looked like it has a cataract and she hasn’t been able to open it. Thankfully today she looks better and her eye is open. We went to the vet this morning for a follow-up and the eye is still not healed so I’ll continue with the drops and pain meds. We go back on Monday for another follow-up.
In the meantime, I finally get to take the Copic Certification class on Friday. Oh YEAH!!!! So, in preparation I thought it might be nice if I practiced a little. I so rarely use my Copics anymore, choosing to watercolor instead. I’m planning on spending a couple of crafty days working with my Copics so I don’t feel like a real fool when I get to class. Here’s the first card I worked on last night.
I colored the image with Copics, die/cut embossed with Spellbinders™ Circle Nesties, masked it off with Eclipse Tape, and then air brushed the background. I had a little problem with my sewing machine while sewing the background together. I had to improvise with some double stitching along the top of the border.
