Gnome in Glade

Hi there!

Today it's my, Helen, turn again to show you some colouring.
I've used "You Gnome Me" stamp set from My Favorite Thing Stamps.

I started by making some masked stamping.
As always I used Memento Ink on Perfect Coloring Paper.

I started with the background, the first layer of the sky was BG11.
The grass got: G40 - G43

The tree trunks got BG13.

The skin got: E50 - B20 - E21 - E11 - R02 - W3

 I had to lower the tree trunks by adding in tree tops used BG15 - BG18.
The hat of the mushroom got R05 - R08 - R27 - R37 - R59

Some how I decided to get the gnome a red beard, YR09 - E08 - E19
And I didn´t use one of the colours from the mushroom but it turned out the same...

I wanted him to wear a flannel shirt, and a red one...
R35 - R59 - R37

His pants got W1 - W5 - W3
The foot of the mushroom got E40 - E41 - W1 - W3
The snail got: E41 - W1 - W3 - R00, E84 - E89 - E87 - E49 - E81
The shadow from the snail is T5.

Added some more tree trunks, G12

Grass: YG17 - YG 63 - YG67
His hat got the same shades as the pants, W1 - W5 - W3

Some texture to the snail.

The buttons got Y21 - Yr23 - Y28

Added in the squares in the fabric, used B26 and Gelly Roll Dark White.
And the snail got a highlight as well.

Placed a tree in the very front of the picture used RV99.

And as I use to do, I coloured another one.

A Blue Christmas and a video

Hello everyone! It's Delphine here today to share some blue Christmas inspiration!

There are 19 B Ciao and 35 B Sketch Markers. To feature B markers, I chose an MFT image called Furry and Bright and stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto an SMLT haïku card. I have used B000, 02, 05, 18, 21, 23 and 39 on my card.

Here is my final colouring:

MFT Video Tutorial - Flutterby Friends

Hello everyone! It's Delphine here today some cute Copic inspiration! My Favorite Things have been releasing stamps featuring Christy Croll's work (Tiddly Inks), so I just had to create a card with one of them. 

I picked the super cute Flutterby Friends set for today's post. I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on an SMLT Art Bristol haïku card, put a piece of washi tape on it to "cut" the card in two and colour my scene.

Here is my final card:

I have recorded the whole Copic colouring process, which you can see below:

The only things I added after the video ended are touches of glitter pen and a bit of Wink of Stella on my girl's wings. The sentiment is from the I Love You More set by MFT too.

Hair: E35, 59, YR23
Clothes: B02, 05, 18, 39
