Tags #4 and #5

Today I’m sharing the Christmas tags I made for our friends Aric and Kristy.

Aric’s tag was made with the Just Us Girls Challenge #64, a color challenge to use light blue, green and white.

Aric's Tag

Stamps: Close to My Heart Merry Pursuits
Cardstock: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Garden Green
Ink: Stazon Jet Black; Dell printer
Embellishments: Stampin’ Up 5/8″ satin ribbon Bashful Blue; Stickles Holly; eyelet
Tools: Stampin’ Up markers; Copic markers; Nestabilities Labels Four

I made sure to use red as the main color for Kristy’s tag, since that is her favorite color. I recently bought two Copic markers, E00 and E000, so I could color faces better, but I am a tad frustrated as every time I’ve used them they blend the black ink used to stamp the image. Anyone in blogland have any suggestions about using a different type of ink? The only time I didn’t have that issue was when I used a digi stamp that I had printed about 3 weeks earlier. I’ve even tried heat setting the stamped image and it still blended.
