It's the Art of living........

Hello dear Copic fans,

Today I have something different for you.

For a while I want to use Copic Markers with mixed media.

Bud how, when you color over a mixed media background you have the chance to ruin the nips. And that wasn't what I want to do.

I start to airbrush a sheet of Stamping linen from Joy Craft. 

Using the colors B04 B18 B37 and RV04

With a template and modeling paste I create the spots and color them with Gelatos from Faber Castell and a waterbrush pen.

With black stampin ink I stamped the flowers in the corner. 

With blue stampin ink I stamped the bubbles from Magnolia.

With another template I airbrush the leaves in black N10.

You can clean your template easy with an alcohol based hanggel.

The sentiment is stamped with white acrylic paint.

When you use acrylic paint on your stamps, you have to clean them immediately, if you wait till the paint is dry you have to clean very hard and can damage you stamp.

On a other peace of stamping linen I stamped the face and colored with pencils, glue her on a piece blue cardstock and cut it out.

Glue the face with 3d foam tape on the card.

The Copic Markers I used

B04 B18 B37 RV04 N10

I hope that I have inspire you with this card

Thank you for leaving your comment

flip flops for summer

Hello everyone!

This is Kathrin here today sharing a summer-ish creation with you.

I'm sure you've all seen this kind of card before. Actually it isn't a card but a hanger - and I think Flip Flops are one of the things screaming "SUMMER" the loudest.

I used two of the newest Magnolia stamps here to create this summer scene.

And to tease you all a little I am going to tell you that I am doing exactly the same at the moment - sitting on the beach an playing with the sand... ;p

I used the dot technique to color in the sand. Just a plain colored area wouldn't really have given the look of sand, but the few dots added to the background and more added to the shaded areas make it look right to me. 

I wanted to keep the beach houses white to avoid a "whole brown colored" image. And with this it's still Tilda keeping the attention.

As decoration I went with a flag garland, some cheesecloth, a star tag, a charm and also a postage stamp - all things that mean summer and beach and vacation to me.

I have used these colors to color the image in:

Skin: E13, E11, E51, E30, E000

Cheeks: R20, R22

Hair: E59, E99, E37, YR27, Y21,Y00

Shirt and bows: R59, R46, R35, R32,R30

Trousers: B99, B45, B41, B000

Houses: C5, C2, C0, W3

Sky: B0000, BG000, B000

Sand: E53, E35, E33, E31, E43, E42

Enjoy the summer everyone!

Pearl the mermaid from Saturated Canary :)

Hello everybody!

I've a Saturated Canary from the talented Krista Smith to share today, her name is "Pearl" and she's a wonderful mermaid:

 

 

A pic by side: I love how the sun lighted her up:

 

I created a little scene for her using the "Sandy Sea Floor" from Make it Crafty and some lovely fishes and a seahorse from the Mic underwater collection:

I used the dots tecnique to colour the background, but I missed the airbrush system very much! I think I put out all the B and BG copics I have on my stash!

 

 Another side view...:

 

 

Here is the complete list of Markers I've used:

I hope you liked it :)

Do you want to know a secret?

 Hi there, Copic fans,

I just have to share a secret with you! 

Did you know, that Santa is not sitting in his cosy house at the Northpole waiting for Christmas?

NO - he is somewhere where it is warm, drinking beer and having fun! Here is the proof:

 

While we are starting our production of Christmas cards to have them ready in time, Santa is relying onto his little helpers and is relaxing in the sun - incredible!

The card will be used as a Birthday card for my brother-in-law who has a remarkable resemblance with this image. It is from Make it Crafty, available as digital and as rubber, and supposed to show the Aussie Santa. I can't imagine to celebrate Christmas with the sun burning down!

I am sure, my brother-in-law will recognize the reason for my choice of this image 

and as he is a very nice and humourous person, he will like it. 

Copics I used:

Skin: E50, E51, E11, E13

Shirt, Shorts: BG53, BG57 

(I think, it was the first time I used them, but certainly not the last time!)

Hat, shoes: R24, R27, E47

Shadows: BG0000, BG70, my self-made BG71, W0, W4
Ground: E40, E43

So now, Santa, have a lot of fun, cherish the days and be fit and strong for Christmas!

Big Hugs

Flower - Powder - Emboss

Good Sunday morning Copic lovers!

It's Keren here today sharing a new Copic inperation.

And today I have prepared a new tutorial for you.
 

Here's an idea...

Instead of using your regular ink

 .use embossing powder

You can use any color.

 

And the outcome is realy nice

since It has a nice shimmery accent  

so the image pop out

and gives it another dimension.

 

 

All you need  is

paper

stamp

embossing ink

embossing powder

and

a heating tool

 

     

Ink

Stamp

Powder

 

Emboss

Color

And here is my card
