Fabulous video on how to colour Lily!!

Lauren Meader has created a very informative video about Copic markers and how to use them to colour Lily. There are 2 parts to the video. The first part discusses the different types of Copic markers and what Lauren likes about them. In the second part, Lauren demonstrates how she colours faces in order to get that dewy complexion. You can view the videos on Lauren's blog.
Thanks so much for creating these videos Lauren! It's so helpful to see your technique.
Happy Stamping!

New Release Day and Contest Winner!!

I'm excited to tell you that the new Lily & Billy Sweethearts and the Kiki Kitty stamps are now available for purchase!! The Design Team and I have had so much fun during the sneak peeks this week. Thank you for all of your nice comments about the stamps and cards!
Lily the Fairy Contest Winner
Thank you so much to everyone who entered this contest! I was blown away by all of the beautiful cards that were submitted. I was delighted to have received nearly 200 entries, way more than I was expecting, lol!! We'll definitely have to do another contest like this in the future.
As you can imagine, choosing a winner was extremely difficult for the DT and I. Each DT member sent me a list of her top picks and from that I chose the one card that was selected the most often. And the winner is .....

Rachel Hope Baird!!
Rachel has won her choice of any PCS stamp set!!
Here is a selection of cards that were among the DT's top picks. Check out the contest gallery to see more entries. Originally I had planned to have a gallery on Paper Craft Planet but due to the number of cards submitted and the quantity limitations of the PCP albums I decided to host the gallery on the Pink Cat Studio website.
