Can you believe it's the first Friday in August already? I hate, hate, hate the heat so lately I've been spending time indoors, out of the hot sun, working on my Copic coloring skills. It's taking me a while to get use to coloring with Copics as I don't have a lot of patience. It really slows down the card making process for me but I do love the end results so much.
Working on my shading I tend to stick with the easier images and to one color family. Like these bears. Here I'm just using three different shades of brown and learning to blend. You'll probably be seeing a lot of little bears from me in the near future as I try out a few different blending techniques.
For this card I used the following supplies:
Stamps: Birthday Bears (My Favorite Things).
Ink: tuxedo black (Memento), Copic Markers.
Paper: khaki, green apple (Simon Says Stamp), white 140 lb cardstock (Neenah).
Accessories: Birthday Bears dies, Bold Greenery dies (My Favorite Things), Pieced Chevron Coverup die (Lil' Inker Designs).
After seeing Melissa Miller work with this awesome Penny Black stamp set I was dying to give it a try. It's a big undertaking for someone new to Copics but I gave it my best shot. She turned out so cute, I think my daughter is going to love her! I did a little masking to add this faded stenciled background. I love how the light pink grid pattern softened and grounded the image.
For this card I used the following supplies:
Stamps: Saying a Latte (Penny Black), Striped Background (My Favorite Things).
Ink: tuxedo black (Memento), spun sugar (Ranger Distress), Copic Markers.
Paper: black, lipstick red (Simon Says Stamp), white 140 lb cardstock (Neenah).
Accessories: Coffee Word die (The Ton), Grid stencil (My Favorite Things), Fun-Fetti dies (CAS-ual Fridays), Glossy Accents, Wink of Stella clear glitter pen.
I put a shiny dimensional finish on her pink cup with a layer of glossy accents.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great weekend!
