    Such fun techniques and cards. TFS!

  110. Doris Jones says:

    Wow – love all of them. Thanks for the tips about copic markers and yupo paper – I did not know that. Just never make the connection. I love the dramatic scene of your first card, and then your second card is just so stunning and then what followed was just as amazing. Can’t wait to watch your video, I’m so excited! Great designs!

  111. Teri S. says:

    Wow Nina Marie! You have completely “hit the ball out of the park”, as the saying goes with these cards. I thank you so much for your video. I have some copic markers but really haven’t used them much as I need tons more practice with blending. I’m wondering if straight 91% rubbing alcohol would work? All of your cards are fantastic! I especially love the You Are Fabulous card you made. The colours underneath, the rose die & the small sentiment under Fabulous are just perfect.

  112. FeM says:

    Wow your creations are awesome.

  113. Kelli Horger says:

    Gorgeous, bright and fun – like all your amazing projects!!!
