Christmas is in the air!


Hello everyone! It's Delphine here today to share a Christmas card - not here yet, but it's coming fast now!


 The character I used is from the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps set called Heavenly Holiday, stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured in Copics of course. To match my image, I picked a sentiment from the Christmas Blessings Sentiments set by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps too, and I stamped it in Versafine on a piece of Stamperia DP. I added a bit of gold on the edges of my paper using a Pitt Pen. For a little finishing touch, I added two little star chipboard from my Make it Crafty Mini Stars Chipboard Tinklings sets, coloured with a gold pen and covered in Wink of Stella.


Skin: E000, 00, 11, R20, V20

Together with the Norwegian Instructor Siv Ella Andersen she renewed the EECP and made this unique colouring program for papercrafters fit for the upcoming years. Both ladies thanks from us all.
People in the UK taking classes with Faye are in the best hands available. She also was teaching classes during a retrait if Whimsy Stamps in Florida, USA, you see we have an Intercontinental girl in our DT.

Autumn is here...


Hi Everyone, it's Faye here today :)


So, Autumn is here, but I'm not ready to say goodbye to summer yet. I thought I'd make a compromise and use this summery image from Little Miss Muffet Stamps, with some autumn colours.

I love colouring redheads, this is a new blend for me, along with the pale skin. It's good to play around with different colours from time to time. Some of the best results come from happy accidents!


Copics Used...
Skin; E0000, E000, E00, V20
Hair/ Orange; YR15, YR14, YR18, E08
Grass; G21, YG63, YG67, W5, W7
Yellow; Y13, Y15, Y38
White; C0, C1, C3

Thanks so much for stopping by... Have a great day.

Friends



Good Morning Everyone.
This is Sarit for some colour inspiration.
Today I want to share a friendship card.

Who doesn't love a teddy bear hug?
When my daughter was little she had a favourite stuffed animal. She went to sleep hugging it.
This cute digi stamp from Kanban remains me of her special friend.


There are several ways to "make" fur.
I used dot colouring to emphasis the fur.
I coloured the bear with basic colour coat and the shading I made with dots.

Here is the Copic list

Face: E000, E00, E11, E13, E21, E93
Hair: YR04, YR18, E08, E18, R14
Shirt: G00.G02, RV00, RV02
Bear: E33, E15, E18

Wishing you a blessed day
hugs,

the bunnykeeper

A few of my favourite things are art journalling, colouring and animals. And this time I was able to combine the 3 of them.
I used this wonderful image by Tanya Bond called the Bunnykeeper.


I always start colouring the skin first. If I get that right  the rest will follow...
I started with the E50 and add a thin layer on all the skin parts of this image. 


For the 2nd layer I used the E51 to add some shading. I do not worry about the marker stripes you see in the photograph. I will add many many more layers and in the end I will blend all the layers together. 


After the E50 and 51 I used my BV000 for some more shading especially where the eyesockets are , under the nose and on the chin and on both sides of the face and the neck. 

More shading under the nose with the W3. I used the W3 for the neck and the eyes as well.


To add some more warmth to the skin I add a thin layer of E00 and now it is time to blend all layers together with the E0000. 


I thought it would be nice to give the bunnykeeper purple hair and eyes. 
I used BV01, 02, 04, 08 and V17.


This is how the bunnykeeper looks with purple hair and eyes and I like it a lot. 


Now it's time to colour the bunnies. For the purple one I used the same colours as for the hair, BV01, 02, 04, 08 and V17.
For the blue bunny I used B12, 14, 16, 18. And for the golden-yellow bunny I used Y21,26,28, 35 and E08.


I used the image in my square art journal on a Dylusions background. 


I had to add some doodling too of course...

have a fabulous day
Miranda
