Colorful Wednesday- Copic Combos- Pigs

My original plan when I got started making Memory Dex cards was to have a reference system on my craft table that was easily accessible when I was coloring for Copic Combos. I have thought and thought how I wanted to do this and today I'm taking the plunge and starting!

It may change as time goes on but you have to start somewhere, right? My first combos are for pigs as that is one combo that I find myself looking up often. I have 3 different combos for pigs so I did decide to make them on separate cards, that way if I find another combo I can just make another card vs. trying to fit it on an existing card. 

I decided to go very simple with these cards, just white cardstock, the image and the combo. That way I'm not stressed about decorating them and hopefully I can get more done. I didn't use my go to cardstock, Catherine Pooler, since I have so many I want to make but instead used other cardstock in my stash. They won't be super accurate but close enough for my use.

Combo one: E50, R20, R30

Combo two: R30, R32, E50

Combo three: RV0000, RV10, RV13, RV21

Have a super happy day!

On the bright side, more candles means more cake

The next challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Facebook group was to Pick 3 from: Brads/Buttons, Card Sketch from KKS, Slimline Card, Stitching, Stenciling and Metallic Element. 

I chose slimline, stenciling and brads/buttons. I used the fun Party Piggies stamp set and the Party Time Banners stencil. As I was almost done with my card I dropped my black inkpad on the card and it was a mess so I had to redo the Marquee Die/Stenciled background part and I changed it to the Lots 'o Dots stencil. I think that's one of the most versatile stencils. 

And then when I was done I realized I forgot the brads/buttons. Oh well, I tried. I don't think I'll get the last one done in time but I'm going to try.  This was so fun to play along with these challenges. Sort of helped me rediscover/reconfirm my love for this hobby!

Have a great night!
