I've been busy with my Copic markers recently, colouring up some images.
Up first are two adorable girls from Little Darlings. I had the amazing opportunity to colour up the Hula Girl image at the Little Darlings booth at CHA in Anaheim this January. At that time I used Distress markers and while that image turned out OK, this time I used my Copic markers for more control. I guess you just go back to what you are use to, what you are most comfortable with.
Hula Girl - and My Mind's Eye "collectable" paper line, Prima flowers, Spellbinders die all held together with Helmar 450.
Beach Babe - just a cute, using the same products.
Next up is Carisa Girl; a Unity Stamp by Angie Blom who I had the pleasure of meting and taking a class from at Crop & Create Cornwall. One of my besties is 9 months pregnant and itching to get this little boy out and into the outside world. I told her that she has to eat fresh pineapple to bring on labour, so tomorrow I'm bringing her a fresh pineapple and this card. I wish I could take a photo of her face when I give her this - she is going to laugh so hard. The inside image is a line drawing I nabbed off the net.
Let me know what you think of my recent endeavours, be kind, leave a comment!
First of all I want to thank Janet for her kindness - you really made my day when you sold me all of your Magnolias, you have such good taste and its sad that you are giving up paper crafting, but you will enjoy the next journey in your life, I just know it!
I've been eyeing up all the blogs and YouTube tutorials on how to colour clouds with Copic markers ... there are so many different options out there, it was tough for me to choose one that I liked best. I am so impressed with the way that Annika Ryan colours, and her clouds just made the most sense to me here is her YouTube tutorial Annika Ryan - YouTube.
So, as I've been driving for the past week I have been looking at the clouds on the horizon and *noticing* the colours, and thinking about where the darker parts are, the light hits them etc. Yeah, can you say I live an exciting life, hahaha!!
Well here is the result, I coloured up a couple of Maggies - the Tilda is supposed to have a bow behind her, but I fussy cut that off, and the swing stamp only had the small piece of a branch it attached to, so I added in the tree trunk to ground it, and little bit more branch. I used Magnolia papers, doohicky's, and the gems are also Magnolia.
If you like this card and especially the clouds, let me know, I might be able to put together a class for Auntie Em's in June!!
