Here's another card I taught for my Memory Box Mini-Card class. This one featured a Poppy stamp that goes by the name of Andrew Angel. I used Copics for the face, but the rest is all PrismaColor pencils (including his rosy cheeks).
Supplies: Memory Box patterned paper, shimmer card stock and stamps ("Sprinkles" B1158, "Andrew Angel" 213C); inks (Ranger Distress, Memento); Tsukineko glue pad; Martha Stewart glitter; PrismaColor pencils; Copics; ribbon; pearls; Nesties, Tim Holtz Ink Applicator tool.
Instructions:
- Print sentiment on computer printer and stamp image above.
- Cut out using Nestie - use Nestie as a mask and apply Ranger Distress ink using foam ink applicator tool.
- Color face with Copics, then color use PrismaColor pencils for the rest (use Gamsol to blend if desired). NOTE: the wax from the pencils isn't good for your Copics.
- Stamp snowflakes with Tsukineko glue pad and immediately sprinkle with glitter; tamp down and remoe excess by gently tapping card.
- Adhere gems in center of each snowflake.
- Cut patterened paper and card front and back using Nesties.
- Edge patterned paper shape with Ranger DIstress ink.
- Horizontally score card front about 1" from top. Apply adhesive above the score line and adhere to card back.
- Stack and adhere shaped panels to front of card.
- Cut 6" ribbon, tie into bow, and adhere to card with glue dot.
One thing I didn't do here but which would look good is to cover the wings with some flocking or that "flower" stuff for some texture.
TFL!
Adorable, Deborah! always love your amazing coloring!

The colors are exquisite! How I would love to be in your class! You would have to spend half the time fixing my "goofs"! Did you cut out all those Nestie shapes??
