As I type this blog entry, we're experiencing a blizzard. Not the sweet and cold one that you eat. I mean a real one. And the last time I checked, it's April 19th. It's technically Spring. Somebody must have really ticked Mother Nature because she doesn't seem happy... at all.
While I was cleaning my craft desk, I saw this unfinished pop-up card that I made three years ago:
The card front is black, and I never got around to finish the card. I stamped the flower images with whatever black ink pad I had at the time, and I remember using just "ordinary markers" (in crafters' term) to color the flowers. Back then, I was already proud of this "achievement". I figured maybe I can do some touch ups to make it better.
Armed with my Copic markers and tools that didn't exist before, I started working. First, I used my black multi-liner pen to enhance the lines of the images. Then I started coloring with Copics. Here's my pop-up card's new look:
It only goes to show how big of a difference three years can make. And I give credit to all the crafters and bloggers for all the inspiration and knowledge that they have shared to people like me.
'Til next blog!
