Squirrel Friend Heart and Tags Card with Video

Hello,

How are you doing? I hope you are happy to see some fun little squirrels.

I have stamped my clear stamp set called squirrel friend from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps onto Perfect Colouring Paper.

I have used mostly with E ( Earth ) tones together with the YR ( Yellow Red ) for a nice Autumn look. Aren't they cute the squirrels ?I love their expressions..and this set has different cute little elements too. So I have created this little scene.

I have cut the PCP with a tattered lace die I recently got myself. The dotted lines around the edge were just perfect to stitch ( by hand ) with some orange thread. I have also cut an extra heart layer out of design paper and cut it in half in able to create a pocket for the tags. The little tags are dies from Magnolia..

Please have a look at the short speed colouring video below.

Warm fall wishes. I am so thankful for you

Autumn Sunset Scene Slimline Card

 Hi all Copic friends,

The summer is slowly coming to an end and I get in the Autumn colours mood..

What about you? Do you love all those warm colours like me? 

The Copic family YR (yellow red) and the Copic Family E (earth tones) are just perfect.

Today I would like to show you my new slimline card in autumn colours of course using the pretty digital stamp called "Autumn" from Sweet November stamps.

I have printed the digital image and sentiment onto Perfect Colouring Paper with my printer, and afterwards I have used my slimline die from Mama Elephant to cut the shape.

Time to start colouring

 the skin..the scarf.....the cardigan..the gilet..the trousers..the bag ..the boots..

Of course one could stop at this point as the image is fully coloured but I wanted to create  a background too.

You could use stencils and or stamps to create a background or you can  just draw it yourself. But then you need some inspiration right?

As inspiration I have chosen a photo from my lovely holidays at the lake, it was just a guideline to make some kind of background :). 

Ofcourse first I start to draw some lines with light colour ( E 30 ) in this way  I can still add details or slightly change the scene in case I do not like it. 

When you use a pencil you should be aware that pencil covered by Copic will not erase that is why  I have decided to colour the scene directly with my Copic.

I know it is a bit scary but once you start it will get better .. and if you really don't like the result you can still fuzzy cut the image and put it onto design paper hi hi .

Please see my short video below of the colouring process of this card..

Here is the final result,

to complete the card I have added two leaves, cut with my I-crafter dies.

The top layer of the leaves was coloured with my Copic and on the green paper I have sprayed some distress mica spray  ..in this way some sparkle was added.

Hope you have enjoyed my post .

Please try to create your own background too, it is fun and as always practice..practice..practice.

The Littles Happy Fall

Hi all. 

Today I'm sharing my colouring on a card I made featuring The Littles Playing in the Leaves from Stamping Bella. 

First I stamped the image onto Perfect Colouring paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

As always, my skin colours are E00, E11 and E04. 

These images are very small and I don't do cheek colour on them. 

Hair: E50, E51, E53, E55. 

To give the leaves an autumnal feel I used oranges, reds, yellow, greens

Red - R32, R35, R37

Green - YG11, YG13, YG17

Orange - YR12, YR16, YR18

Yellow - Y11, Y15, Y38

For the grass I used a contrasting green to the leaves - 

G20, YG11, YG21, YG23, YG25

Dress - BG01, BG53, BG45, BG57

Scarf - YR14, YR16, YR18

I applied a little bit of white gel pen for highlights. 

To create the clouds I used my copics instead of inks. 

First I used B01 and a stencil to draw the lines for the clouds. 

Then with B00 I coloured out further from the line

I brought colour out even further with B000 and then I brushed over it with the colourless blender to soften the lines. 

Finally I expanded the grass area before cutting the image out using a pierced rectangle die. 

Thanks for dropping by today. I hope you're inspired to take out your markers and colour. 

Have a great day

Sandie
