tcptues147 challenge

I saw this challenge on one of the blogs I follow and I knew I had to play along. I love these colors together. They have a bit of a spring feeling to them, and I am pretty excited for spring.
Here's my card:
My pictures didn't turn out as well as I would have liked but I hope you can still see most of the details. The image is from TCP. She is colored with copics but her scarf I paper pierced. The papers are retired Stampin Up! and the flowers are crocheted with a corduroy brad in the center, also Stampin Up! I added a little glitter to the steam of her coffee.
A close up. Thanks for looking!

Get Well

I made this card for my Mother in law. She has been under the weather for a couple of days. I hope this card lifted her spirits.

I'm just starting to learn how to color with the copics. I think I may sign up for the beginners class at my local craft store. The coloring looked better in person it looks a bit blotchy in the photo. I'd love to hear any ideas on how to use my copics better. Here's the whole card.
The stamp set is from The Cats Pajamas. The bear is colored with copics and the apron is paper pierced. I used may arts ribbon and the felt heart button I found at Joanns. All the papers came from Stampin Up! I'd love the hear what you think.
