I have done an easel card for my project using the FSS image called Pumpkins and Sunflowers. This happens to be an image I had purchased quite some time ago, before I became a DT member for FSS, but it still is one of my favorites. I actually did a card club class with this image and I went back and looked at my card and boy have I come a long way with my Copics, both in technique and product.  I believe I had 12 markers at the time and I now am somewhere near the 150 mark. Oh Lordy, I'm addicted!! I have sunflower decor in my dining room off my kitchen and they make me so happy and I thought for today they just might make you happy too! We are having a bit of a heatwave here in Wisconsin, so I wanted to think of Fall & cooler weather so this image just did the trick!
I cut my card base with the Spellbinder Labels Ten to create my easel. I felt the need to gussy it up of course with some handmade paper flowers, leaves, ribbon, rhinestones, glitter........well you know the drill when it comes to my cards!
 
The Copic colors I used for my card today are:
Leaves & stems- YG97, 95, 91
Sunflower petals- YR24, Y17, Y11
Sunflower centers- E79, 57
Pumpkins- YR07, 04, 02, 00
Shadow under image- E50, 31
Thanks for stopping by and joining the hop today and get ready for some really great surprises from the other girls on my team! Good luck to you all.
