And  I  love my sweet sister Wendy above anyone else.
This image says everything I want to say to her....love you more than coffee.

My way to colour with Copics

Hello everyone!

It's Vili here today, sharing a new video tutorial for 

my way to colour with Copics
As the colouring itself took me more than half an hour I've slightly quicken the video and I've added all the markers, which I used.

You'll see how I 'wash away' with a lighter marker some mistakes in the hair.

I used Mo's Digital Pencil's 'Walker'.

Copics used:

Skin: E50, E51, Е53, Е55, Е93, R32
Hair: E31, E33, E35, E37, E77, E79
Clothes: RV91, RV93, RV95, RV99, W9
Shadow: W0, W3, W5

Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!

For the wedding couple

Hi Copic friends, 

Elizabeth here with today's inspiration!

Summer is wedding season, and I have made quite a few wedding cards the last couple of months. 

This is one of them. 

 I made a book card with the names of the happy couple, and wedding date on the book end.
The papers are from the Pion Design Wedding Collection.

The image is by Mo Manning. I coloured it using the no lines technique. I also embossed the image 

using Utee Embossing Powder and distressed it with Distress Ink Walnut Stain, 

to make it look old and vintage. 

Here's the image before and after embossing it, to show you the original coloring: 

Copic colours used: 

Skin: E13-11-21-000, R20

Hair: E57-55-53-51, Dress: W7-3-1-00, 

Suit: W9-7-5-3-1

Red details: R56-29-27-24-22-20

Green: G99-94-46-43-40

Dotted background: C1-3, W1, B60

 The inside is decorated like this. 

Hope you like it. Thankfully, the wedding couple did!

Wishing you a colourful day!

Crafty hugs, 

Elizabeth

Bubbles!

Hello everybody Copic lovers!

Franz from Italy again with a new little paper crafting project.

I create a clean and simple card for a lovely Mo Manning image, a cute ethnic fairy called Tabia:

I used different bright colours for her wings and her dress because I liked making her shiny!
I also used my white gel pen on the wings, on the stars and on bubbles to try to achieve this effect.

I used some papers in rainbow colours to make my card, i thought they was just perfect with this cute and bright image!

Hello Friend Card

Hi Everyone Sarit is here.

Today I want to share with you a card I made for a friend.

usually when I print a digi stamp i use the copic paper as my background

This time i wanted to cut the image and add it to my card 

I used one of my favorite digi stamp, Angel among Us from Mo Manning.

 its an easy image to trace with scissors. 

One of the "advantages" when you cut out a colored image is that if you by accident color outside the line. like the hair for example its o.k. 

don't be upset if things like that happened.

You still can use the image for a card. 

just  cut around the image and add it to a card.

(this time I colored inside the line..... I did)

This time I wanted to try a new hair color combo

Love the look of using the YR family as a base with the E family

The sentiment made by computer.

Color Used:

Hair: YR27, E35, E37, E39, E29

Body: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Eyes: YG61

Shirt: R24, R27, R29, R59

Pants: B91, B93, B95, B97

Shoes: YG93, YG97, N0, N1, N3, N4

Hope you liked the card 

wish you a beautiful day!

hugs, Sarit

Baby Treasure Box

Hello everyone, Vili's here with my first Baby Trasure box!

I made a box for my best friend's baby, who was born 18 years after her bigger child! At the moment she is experiencing motherhood in a whole new and romantic way and she wants to keep every minute as long as she can. I myself keep many baby items that once belonged to my daughters - I keep some tiny clothes, the first baby shoes, the first hat, the first lock of baby hair, and even a dummy. This box is intended exactly for the storage of such precious memories.

I chose Mo's Baby and Bunny and coloured it with great pleasure.

The fluffy blanket is my favourite. I made it, the teddy rabbit and the background using dot technique, which is really suitable for fluffy objects and washed-out backgrounds:

The box's caption is Kosyo's Treasures:

These are the boxes where the first lock of hair, the navel clip and the bracelet from the maternity hospital will be stored:

Skin: E00, E50, E51, E53, R32, E93

For a new baby boy

Hello copic friends, 

Elizabeth here today to give you copic inspiration from Norway. I made a card for a new baby boy. I love this Mo Manning image, you can use it for so many occasions, and I decided it could be a boy or a girl, depending on the colors used.

The colors are neutral so I could go either way... this time it's a boy!

I used Pion Design papers and some sweet newborn charms and sentiments. Pretty simple decoration really. Dies by Magnolia, Spellbinders and Memorybox. Flowers by WOC and Kort og Godt. 

The image is Baby Fairy with Ladybug digi from Mo's Digital Pencil. 

Copics used:

Skin: E13-11-21-000, E93, W5

Wings and clothes: W7-3-1-00

Hair: E44-43-41-40

Ladybug: E18-R27-24-22

Ground: W5-3-1-00

Here's the inside of the card with a couple of sentiments about the newborn baby.

Hope you like it! 

See you next time, 

have a wonderful week! 

Hugs, 

Elizabeth 

Soap Bubbles Tutorial

Hello! I'm Cristina Valenzuela, and this is my new tutorial for Copic Europe.

It is difficult to find a theme that has not been explained here.

But there is always something to explain.

My tutorial for today is bubbles, but no water bubbles or drops of water.

This tutorial is all about soap bubbles.

There are many stamps with children playing with bubbles and one never really knows how to colour them... This is my step by step on how I do it.

Soap bubbles always have some shades of colour, created by the soap.

That is why I added a bit of colour.

Like when the rainbow is formed, the colours are those created by the reflection of the water.

You can change the colours I used, for some other numbers, but they should only be low intensity, because what we want is just a bit of colour.

I add a few touches of my R30.

Neither in the centre or touching any edge.

I add a few dots with my Y02, although it's a little intense for me.

And also a bit of V01.

Now I draw a circle with my colour C0, but I still don't touch the rim.

Also with this grey I colour on the colour dots, to faint them a little.

Bubbles and water is always a little blue.

At least, in our minds when we color ...

I colour with my B000, on the previous colours, leaving without colouring the center and edges of each bubble.

I colour the middle with BG70.

I try to leave the centre uncoloured, always in a circular form.

But if you are not completely round, you can use the blender 0.

 With C1, I give some volume colouring near the lower edge.

Then I draw a circle with BV20 inside, leaving only the top without colouring.

The soap is heavier than water, so give more colour around.

Then I blend it all with BG70.

And finally I add a little Opaque White, to create points of light.

My colouring is softer than the picture, the contrast is a bit marked so you can see the transition between steps of colour.

I hope you liked it and you find it useful.

And this is my card with bubbles, the stamp is Mo's Digital Pencil.

Copic Colours:
Floor: W1, W3.
Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11, E21.
Hair: E51, E53, E35, E37, E49.
