Love Birds

Happy Thursday Everyone,

Today I'm sharing an adorable new image from High Hopes Rubber Stamps called Love Birds.  I wanted to do a little something that looked different so I colored this pair of little birds up on Kraft cardstock.  I used Copic's of course but I added a bunch of shading with my Prisma pencils as well.  I played along with the January OCS Challenge Sketch with a couple of my own modifications.  You can find the OCS Challenge HERE

This is the 2nd card I have done on Kraft and I have found that when using my Copics it is best to test the color first.  Some colors dry darker some much lighter than you might think.  So I started to create my own little index card system.  I will add to this each time I want to play with a new color combo.  I am using American Craft cardstock and that is what my index cards are made from.  Each brand of cardstock will react differently to the marker so it is a great idea to find a brand you like and work with that.  This is my index system, at least for now.

Copics I used for this card...

Heart Leaves - BG72, BG71 (I made this color with BG78 & BG72) with Peacock Blue Prisma

Scroll - BG72, BG10 with Aquamarine & Light Aqua Primsa

Left Bird - E97, E95, E93 with Pumpkin Orange Prisma

Right Bird - E41, E42, E43 with Light Umber Prisma

Shading around birds - Yellow Ochre Primsa

Background Shading - Light Aqua Prisma

You can't tell from the picture but I did add a bunch of sparkle to the scroll and leaves with Clear Wink of Stella.

 

If you are looking to grab this adorable image you can find it HERE at OCS or HERE at High Hopes.

Have a wonderful day!

Time for a snooze!

Happy Wednesday!! 

Today I`m sharing a little cutie called Friends Snooze from High Hopes.  I was going for something soft and bold all at the same time if that makes sense.  All the colouring was completed with Copic but on the bear I did some shading with Black Prisma.  I thought it would give him a bit of a softer look.

Copics I used...

Pink - RV91, RV93, RV95

Brown - E44, E43, E41

Grey - T5, T3, T1 with Black Prisma for shading

Green - G21

Shading - B0000, RV0000

Other goodies...

Meet Lana and Leo

Happy New Year everyone!

I'm excited to get 2017 started with a couple of new cards showcasing a new image from the Live, Love Laugh Collection over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps.  This adorable image is called Lana and Leo.

I also used the January Sketch Challenge from High Hopes for both of these cards. 

I gave colouring on Kraft a whirl on one of the cards, it was fun to see how Copic works on a different cardstock.  If you want to give this a try I suggest you play with your markers on a scrap of Kraft to see how each colour looks before you work on your image.  I found that the colours look lighter on Kraft than they do on Xpress It.  Each brand of Kraft will look different, I'm using American Craft on my card.

Copics I used on Kraft cardstock....

Lana Greens - G40, G43, G43

Yellow - YR24, YR23, Y35

Leo Greens - YG67, YG63

Yellow - YR27, YR23, YR24

Ground - G40, G43

Sky - B000, B00

Copic's I used on Xpress It cardstock....

Lana Greens - G40, G43, G43

Yellows - YR23, Y35, Y32

Leo Greens - YG67, YG63, G43

Yellows - YR27, YR24, YR23

Sky - B0000, B000

Ground - G40, G43
