Copic Coloring With Altenew Dearest Friend + Rubeena's Anniversary Blog Hop

Hey folks!

Welcome to Rubeena’s Crafting Anniversary 2-Day Blog Hop! This hop is epic with more than 70 guests and over $1,000 in sponsored prizes! Not only are we celebrating four years since Rubeena first discovered cardmaking but also crafting in general. This industry is made up of wonderful individuals who are creative, inspirational, kind, and incredibly supportive! Hop along so you can learn about why we create and how much joy it brings us!

You can watch the video on how I made my cards HERE. You can also click the thumbnail link below.

For both of my cards today, I used the Altenew DEAREST FRIEND Stamp Set. Ruby is a big fan of Altenew and I wanted to honor her with that today. Plus this stamp set is seriously gorgeous so it was a win-win.

Do be sure to check out the VIDEO folks. The technique I'm sharing today is one that I've shared recently. So I don't talk much about that, but I do talk about my creative journey quite a bit if you're interested that.

I did decide to use other colors today. I have those linked in the thumbnail links below. I haven't colored anything in pink lately so I thought I'd mix it up a bit.

Inkon3 FADEOUT Ink has been a go-to of mine lately. I can't say enough how much love this ink for no line coloring folks.

One of my favorite things about the DEAREST FRIEND Stamp Set is how large it is. It is a 6"x8" set. As always Altenew didn't disappoint with their sentiments. On the card pictured above, I used Altenew PERMANENT Black to stamp the sentiment.

If you haven't already start at the beginning of the hop and show RUBY some love! She's earned it. She's come a long way in the last 4 years. I'm proud of her and I'm proud to call her my friend. You can also find the entire Blog Hop List there as well!

If I'm your first stop, next up is LYDIA FIEDLER. She is one of my favorite cardmakers and people! She's truly talented and a beautiful person. Before me on the hop is DEBBY HUGHES. I am in awe of her endless talent. Debby and I have never met, but if we ever do I may fan girl. Just sayin'.
