Coloring Acetate and CPS Praying for You

What an interesting New Technique challenge on Split Coast today - to print a photo in black and white on acetate and then to color it with Copics on the back side. My printer had no setting for acetate (as suggested) so the black inkjet ink doesn't seem to be drying very well (I set it to glossy photo paper) - I tried blowing it some with the hot gun - but not sure if it's going to dry. I tried coloring 2 photos before the two I have here and found that by just tapping the Copic's against the acetate it gave a better look - not streaky and it came out looking like watercoloring against the watercolor paper I think. I just attached the acetate to the card with brads rather then fussing with tape that would probably show through or smudge off the ink!

Here's the 2nd one that I thought came out really nice - a few poppies in the field.



I'm going to just leave these alone overnight and see if the black ink dries so the card could actually be mailed to someone!

My next card is for the Clean and Simple (CAS) challenge on Split Coast. It was a color challenge - to use coral, kraft and one other coordinating color. I used kraft, coral and lavender. I also used the Card Positioning Systems Sketch for my card. The flower and bird are Shapeabilities, the sentiment is from Verve Stamps and the vintage buttons are PTI. I zigzag sewed around the edge.

Today was my first day back to work after a week's vacation - seems like I was never away!! Well - got to get myself off to bed - morning comes early!!
