Through the Window | Making a Scene

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing my colouring of a little scene I created using some masking to bring two stamps together. I used Fall Window and Gnome Backdrop and changed the scene outside the window. 

To change the scene was an easy process, but I didn't take any pictures of it so I will explain. 

First I covered the centre part of the Fall Window stamp with a piece of card while I inked it up. No ink got on the centre part. I stamped the window onto Perfect Colouring Paper using memento black ink. I stamped the window again onto some regular copier paper, I cut out the centre piece, leaving a hole, and placed the paper over the original stamped image. Then I stamped the gnome backdrop. As all the image was covered with the copier paper, except for the centre part, only part of the image transferred. 

Once I had the images merged I started the colouring process, beginning with the grass. 

I tried a different combination of YGs on this one, I normally use G's and finish with YG03. 

I started with YG17, which is quite dark, and I went around the edges and under the toadstools. 

I then applied YG23 dragging out some of the YG17 too. 

My lightest colour was YG13. 

For the ground I used E41, E42, and E43

When I had all the colours down I dotted the E42 and E43 to add some texture. 

On the flowers I used 2 shades of blue and 2 shades of pink. 

B91, B34. R81, R83 

For the toadstools I first coloured the underneath and the stalk using E41, E42, and E43. Then I coloured the top using R35 and R37. 

I coloured the sky using B01 and B00. 

When using red I would normally first colour around the element I'm going to colour in red as red is easily transferred onto lighter markers and gets dragged out. So when going around red, be very careful not to hit the tip of the marker off of it. 

I left the window white, I simply applied C1 and C3 for shadow. 

I coloured all around the window using R12, and applied E97 for darker areas. 

Behind the window, to give the appearance of frosted glass, I first coloured in R01. I then went over the R01 with BG10, and then went back in with R01. I applied R12 for shadow, and finally some BG11. 

Lastly, I went around the window with E93

That's it from me for today. 

Thanks for dropping by.

Love Bugs...

Hi all,

A New Year has started ...

so I thought why don't we start 2020 with a little love?

I have coloured up some of the the brand  new stamps from Kraftin Kimmie,

I love this " Love bugs " set as it has many different images and some fun sentiments too..

To use several images together I have  masked some stamps to create various layers,

just a little reminder  when you are masking stamps  the first stamped image will actually be the one in the front at the end.

So that means that these ladybirds and the big flower (my first stamped images) will be in the front of all the later stamped images in the end.

You will need :

 Perfect Colouring paper, masking tape and stamps...

this is during the masking...

Hello dear all Copic friends,

Cinzia here, to share with you an exclusive news for Copic Marker Europe blog. :) :) :)

Most of you know the selfie photograph of Hollywood celebreties taken at the Oscars by Bradley Cooper and posted on Twitter by Ellen Degeneres, that has taken the social media world by storm and smashing every record for retweets.

The selfie mania seems to become established everywhere in the world and in Sweden, two Tildas of the last Magnolia collection, “Tilda with Bowknot” and “Sneaky Tilda”, have taken a selfie before going to visit many crafters’ houses all over the world.

They kindly sent it to me for posting it on CME blog…

… and asked me to prepare a card to celebrate their friendship, I’m so honoured and happy!!

Thank you very much for your visit and for sharing some fun with me!!! :D :D :D

Enjoy the rest of the week!!!

Hugs,

The gorgeous images are “Tilda with Bowknot” and “Sneaky Tilda”, the sentiment is from “Dutch Doobadoo” so as the little heart and the heart row, the papers are Maya and Magnolia, the dies are Magnolia Doohickeys .
