La La Land

Hi Everyone

Did you enjoy the Olympic opening? I sure did, I thought Rowan was brill and 007 and the queen so funny too but was disapointed with Mac, missed his cue and talk about a face lift he look terrible, the other thing I was not that keen on was the band Artic Monkeys (ok the oldie bit coming out here lol) but I did enjoy everything else and the flame was fantastic, inspiring.


My post for today is a card that I teach in my Copic class, I do all white cards at the moment as I never know what colours they want to use, (thank you Jing for this idea) starting next week we shall start introducing DP, flowers ribbon and all the other stuff we all put on cards.

Love this image from La La Land and I have put it in the customers gallery too, they are great because of the big face's it is easier for the class to practise their colours, they are doing so well to say they have never used Copic before.

I coloured her with Copic and used embossing folder and Nesstie dies and flowers from W/O.
