Friendship Puzzle

Sometimes in life we are fortunate enough to be blessed with a rare relationship.

This person isn’t the “one of my 962 friends on FaceBook whose name I can’t remember” types. No, this is a soul mate who knows at a glance what you are feeling, understands your deepest thoughts, and gets your silliest jokes.

Finding a bosom buddy like this is like finding a missing piece to a puzzle…

You complete each other!

This week’s Spotlight video is perfect to learn how to create an unusual card, celebrating your unique friendship. Elena teaches bright and cheerful images using Copic Markers and colored pencils in lessons at CraftsForPaws.com.

Like the Vanilla Arts lessons which inspired them, Elena’s C4P tutorials are usually too large for cards. She’s created this Spotlight series of videos to help make use out of your growing stash of amazing oversized class projects.

So why not join the fun today? Elena will quickly show you that creating a spectacular card like this is not nearly as puzzling at it seems!

Elena is an alumni of Vanilla Arts, Marker Painting Foundations and Colored Pencil Plus. During these 12-week courses, artist Amy Shulke breaks all the crafty coloring laws and teaches you how to get realism and amazing depth from your Copic markers and Colored Pencils.
