So the other day my mom was here. She is an artist and uses lots of mediums...oils, pencil, charcoal etc...BUT she has never used Copics. So I handed her my bucket o' copics and she sat down with them. Now it has taken me some time to get the feel of them. There is definitely a learning curve to these things...at least for me anyway. So imagine my surprise when I see she has this complete.....
I told her to drop the Copics and go home! LOL, not really! But ummmm....WOW!!
So this is my flower! And remember I started this several months ago. This is NOT my first flower like some people!
Needless to say, now she is hooked. She will be buying some in the near future! I can see this taking off and being a business for her in her Art Gallery! Maybe she can give me lessons?
Now I know where you get your artistic abilities - your mom! She did do a nice job but so did you. Some people just have a natural knack for recognizing shading and highlights and depths whereas I just see a yellow flower and can't recreate it to save my life. LOL. Great job to both of you! :)
ReplyDeletegf, your blue flower is spectacular, and so is your moms.... I agree.. now we know where u get your talent from! Beautiful card.. love that border punch!
ReplyDeleteWell now it's OBVIOUS where your talent come from girly! I think your blue flower is super, as is your mother's...
ReplyDeleteLaurie, both flowers are just beautiful! Would your mom like to join PTPD and give lessons? lol. Perfect coloring with the copics.
ReplyDeleteI think both flowers are lovely! I have a very difficult time with shading and highlights, but you have definitely inherited your mother's artistic talent! The border punch you used complements the ruffled edges of the flower perfectly, too!
ReplyDeleteBoth flowers are GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors on your card - that silver is so unusual and cool!
Ahhhh...so that's where you get your talent!! Gorgeous card, Laurie!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, your Mom is GOOD!!! Like others have said, obvious where you get YOUR talent from, Laurie ;)
ReplyDeletebeautiful! ah - to have the artist touch - just like you and your mom! Hope all is well!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Laurie! Both flowers are gorgeous, but for the first time tiuching copics...wow!
ReplyDeleteLove the card, Laurie... you've done an awesome job on that flower! And we all know your Mom is awesome... obviously :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous card!
ReplyDelete"Like mother, like daughter!"
That's all I have to say about that! :)
Laurie--very pretty card and your coloring is fantastic as is your moms! That's amazing for a first timer and look how long it's taken us! :) LOL
ReplyDeleteYour mom did do a great job!! Must be the name...just seems like "Barbs" are just natural copic colorers!! :) Your card is so very pretty and your flower looks great too...love it in blue!
ReplyDeleteWOW awesome job - both of them. If your Mom gives lessons I'm ready to learn :)
ReplyDeleteAh, moms, what would we do without them? :-D At least yours can teach you a few Copic secrets! Very pretty card, Laurie (Copic coloring and all), and I love the cool color palette you chose!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Laurie - your flower is fabulous. Your Mom certainly has a knack for copics - amazing! I'm still learning to use them LOL!
ReplyDeleteYour mom truly has a gift for creating! That flower is fantastic! So is yours Laurie, now I know where you get your talent from ;0) great card!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous flowers! I've been feeling really inspired to break out my copics again! I've been so lazy...
ReplyDeleteWow! Now to be honest, I think your flower looks just as good as you mom's. My mom is a crafter and she's one of those people that if she buys something, she has to get them ALL. I told her unless she wants to drop hundreds of dollars on markers, to look the other way, LOL
ReplyDeleteWow Laurie ... both you and your mum have a *LOT* of talent! I love both of your creations!
