This card is for my grandsons 20th birthday, he is often in this exact position while he plays games or does assignments for his IT uni degree. He loved the card by the way.
Since our return from our overseas trip 5 weeks ago I have made about 20 cards all of which are in my SCS gallery margscardcrazy
I'm also submitting this card to Kathy Racoosin's Coloring Challenge for this month, you can find that challenge here The Daily Marker

This is the sketch I chose for the challenger, I needed a layout that gave me a large area for the Mo Manning digital image which I printed on my new little Epson Ink Jet printer that is ensconced under one of my desks in the craft room and connected to the lap top.
One thing we did discover with both of us retired now was that we often wanted to us the main PC at the same time but for me it was only to print things as everything else can be done on the lap top, hence the new little printer which I'm thrilled with and cost less than the ink cartridges that go in it ha ha ha.
The only deviation from the sketch was to make one of the flags longer to accommodate the greeting.

The supplies used are fairly basic with the main components being the Copic markers, I used the full range of the cool grays C00 - C9, E000, E00, E11, E29, E42, E43, E44, YG61, YG63, YG67, B32, B34, B37,YG0000, YG00, Y11, Y13, Y15.
As mentioned the stamps used were a Mo Manning image found on her Digital Pencil site (brilliant artist and all round nice person) and a Kaiserstamp - Birthday Candle DC021
The ink used was Epson Ink Jet printer ink (then heat set), Versa Mark Watermark and SU (Stampin Up) Wild Wasabi for some sponging.
The papers used are X-Press It blending paper, SU Velum, Wild Wasabi, Crumb Cake & DP Spring Fling.
The only other supplies were the embossing folder SU Square Lattice, Joojies heart clips, Wonder double sided tape, X-Press It double sided tape, SU Dimensionals, blending tool and SU heat embossing powder Wild Wasabi for the greeting on the vellum flag.
I finished the card off by matting a square of SU Crumb Cake onto the inside of the card then added a strip of the DP on the bottom of this square leaving a small border and then butted a piece of X-Press It blending paper to the top of the DP first blending some SU Wild Wasabi ink around the outside edges of the blending paper and also leaving a small border around the paper. This gives you somewhere to write a message.
Hope you enjoyed this post and don't foret to pop over to my SCS gallery and catch up on the other cards I have done for June and July.
Cheers
