Everything's coming up Teal

I've had this idea for ages. I've wanted to color and image,then cut it up and space it out across my card.  I managed to put that idea to paper this weekend and this is the result.


I used a Flourishes image and colored it with my copic markers--BG02,04,06.  I got to use my Authentique paper. I'm in love with their colors.  I added some seam binding that I also colored with my copic marker so it would match  (BG02).  Those BG colors have been in my case,but I haven't used them very much, but I think they will be a go to color now.

It's a great start to the week.  I've got more cards to show you. The weekend was really productive and I'm glad. I love times like that.  I hope you had a great weekend too. 

Thanks for your comments. I read every one and appreciate the time you take.

Janet

    Yeah I agree; we love the colours!!! Teal is one of my favourite colours too, even if I sometimes just call is "dark turquoise" or something...

    Thanks for participating with us at Crafty Ribbons and welcome back next week!

    Hi Janet... That idea you have been carrying around in your head turned out gorgeous! I love the way the teal all works together and you notice that there is space but it only adds to the design! Awesome job!
