You Rock

Hi Everyone,

So very HAPPY

Hi Everyone,

The title for this tag is so fitting for the way I was feeling when I created this tag.
I have not been happy with Momento ink for a little while now and was excited to hear that the My Favourite Things Hybrid Ink can be used with Copic Markers.
I placed an order with MFT, however they wanted US$78.99 for postage.  This was just ridiculous and I was not going to pay that amount.
However, I was talking to Michelle at 'The Stamp Spot' and she mentioned that she had the ink pads in stock.  YAYYYYY!!!!! 

I received my order on Friday and I was so happy to be using the ink.
I find it too be very dark and always inks an image well.

Here is the tag I have created using the MFT ink as well as my new 'Little B' dies.


Copics Used:
Skin:  E000, E13, E11, E00, R20, Molotow
Hair:  E40, E42, E44, E43, E47
Pink:  RV34, RV17, RV19
Green:  YG03, G04, G07
Skirt:  B91, B93, B35, B97
Blue:  B05, B02, B01
Orange:  YR61, YR68
Yellow:  Y21, Y35, Y38
Boots:  E31, E33, E35, E37


Until next time
