Sorry this is so late!

Happy New Year friends!! : )  I have been seriously MIA lately and have not gotten around to your blogs in a long time! I plan to rectify that today but before I go here are a few cards that I made for Mary at Serendipity Stamps.



Mary challenged me to come up with a few designs new moms or newlyweds might use for belated "Thank You" cards.











OH baby!! I thought this turned out cute : )  and could be used for any "Sorry this is late" kind of card...










Here is a card I colored with Copic markers.  I know Copic markers have been around from a long time but this is old dog has tried them for the first time!!


I have even taken Sandy Allnock's Copic Jumpstart class (which I recommend ).  You'll be seeing a lot more cards using Copic markers from me as I am LOVING!! the incredible bold bright colors I'm achieving when I use them : )

It might be a sweet touch for a new bride to make a card like this using colored card stock and markers in her wedding colors.














Thanks a bunch for stopping by today! I hope this new year is off to a wonderful start for you and your family.

Please visit Mary's all new Etsy shop HERE and her on-line store HERE : ) and when you visit tell her I said hello!! : )

BIG (((HUGS)))

Fabulous cards! I have always admired your ability to create wonderful cards using soft colors, but to see you using bright and bold too is equally exciting. Thank you so much for sharing and have fun coloring!!

What wonderful belated thank you cards. All are so very well designed and beautiful! I love that you made them so many different ways too. Great inspiration.

You really met the challenge, Patti. All of your 'late' cards are so wonderful. I can't believe that's your first try with Copics. It looks like you've been at it for a while. I'm still a hold out and will probably be forever.

What a fabulous collection of cards to show off the theme Patti x. All so unique and creative. Wonderful colouring with the copics, clearly you are a natural x.

Wow Patti! These are fantastic! Thanks so much for showcasing Serendipity Stamps' "Sorry this is so late" stamp so beautifully! I've had several conversations with new brides and new mom's ordering this stamp when they are a few months delayed sending out thank yous and announcements - it's always a fun chat and always makes me so happy I'm not in their shoes - haha!

I'm so impressed with your artistic skills, Patti. Your cards have this gift of simple but elegant designs, cleverly composed and colored and CAS perfection. I love your bouquet of the beautifully colored tulips. Bravo on a new medium attempted and conquered nobly!
