I was in need of two thank you cards for two former coworkers. They did me a huge favor (sold me their football tickets), so wanted to let them know how content and relieved I was because of their extreme kindness.
I thought this House Mouse image from Stampabilities really captured how I felt, so I decided to make two very similar cards using Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #51 layout.
I thought it would be cool to color one of the images exclusively with Prismacolor Pencils and the other image with exclusively Copic Markers.
Here's the photo of the card using Prismacolor Pencils:
So, this image was colored with Copic Markers. Stamped with black Marvy Dye ink onto Neenah Solar White paper. Various colored cardstocks and patterned paper were used, along with brads, ribbon and a tag from the Cuttlebug.
On the tag, reads the word "Content", stamped with Karen Foster Snap Stamps. Inside sentiment reads, "Because of You".

I have looked at both of your cards, and I can't decide which I like better. The copic or prismacolor pencils. Guess I just love them both. Nice job! TFS :0)
