MIM Shadowing with Copic Markers


I finally got to play this afternoon and couldn't resist the technique by Danielle over at Capture the Moment for this weeks Make It Monday!

It is all about adding extra depth to your die cuts by going around the top and bottom edges with a copic marker.  Can you see mine?  It was V00,
I used the Big Hugs stamp and die set and also the flower blossom from Spring Woods.
My frame is PTI Cover Plate Frame Die,
This is Danielle's card:
Friends1-2
 Keep cool...we had 100, 101 and 92 today...a little cooler (maybe) tomorrow!

Heart Hugs, friends!

I love the look of the shadow. It does enhance the greeting. Everything on this card is lovely. The cover plate really makes the hugs the focal point and the flowers just add to the overall design. Gorgeous.

Simply gorgeous and so well done. You really did the shadowing perfectly. I think I'd rather have 100 than our high for today - 55. :(

There's no such thing as too many hugs, is there? Great design, Colleen, and love the shadowed word die all framed up!
