Cockatoo Biker

 Hello!

I can't believe it's July already. Summer time means more motorcycle time for my husband and me. For this month's blogpost I was inspired by that and used a Paper Shelter digi stamp to color. The bike itself is even inspired by my own, which is aqua with black.

For the tires and seat I used T10, T8 and T6.

The leather jacket, shades and foot rest are colored with N10, N8, N6 and N4.

More greys.. for the beak and chrome I used the cool greys C6, C5, C4, C3, C1, C0 and C00.

A pop of color with BG09, BG13, BG32 and BG11.

For the yellows I used Y17, Y15, Y13 and Y11.

The cockatoo itself is a light shade of yellow and the foot is yellow as well, even though it should be grey.. I didn't want even more grey, so I used Y08, Y13, Y11, Y00 and Y000.

I wanted to create the illusion of him riding through the desert so I used E57, E33, E31 and E30 to make it a bit sandy. And finally some B000 to finish it all.

I hope you like it and maybe it inspires you to color your own cute image.

Have a great day!

Taking a break on an adventure!

Hi everyone,

It’s Sandra from Portugal. I hope you are having a great summer!

This month’s card can be used for several different occasions: birthday, travelling, inspirational quotes, it all depends on the inscription one writes inside the card. 😊

I used a Paper Shelter digi stamp called “Where're We Goin'?”.

I started by choosing the card papers and probable layout, because that would help me picking which markers to use. I have a beautiful paper pad from Bo Bunny – Felicity Collection, and I decided I would go with one of it's papers.  

I die cut a frame with one of the papers and picked some markers to match the collection’s colours:

I started by colouring the suitcase, using E55/57/59 for leather, Y00/11/15 and YR23 for the metal parts, and E44/47 for the straps.

I chose BG72/75/78 for the shorts:

And coloured the coat in salmon, layering R11 and then mapping the shadows with R20.

I coloured over the mapped shadows with R22.

And blended from R21 to R20. This is what the finished coat looks like:

I used E40/41 for the shirt and E000/00/11/21 for the skin. I coloured the eyes with YG11, and the nails and lips with R32/35. 

To colour the sandals I used E40/41 for the bottoms, BG72/75 and Y11/15 and YR23 for the straps, and R20 for the flower. The green eyes were "screaming" for a red hair, which I coloured with YR23/27 and E59.

To finish I coloured the hat with E40/41/42 and BG72/75. This is the finished image framed:

And the assembled card using one of the papers from my favourite paper pad:

Now all the markers listed:

Hair: YR23/27 and E59

Skin: E000/00/11/21 and E93 for cheeks

Nails and Lipstick: R32/35

Eyes: YG11

Hat: E40/41/42 and BG72/75

Coat: R11/20/21/22

Shorts: BG72/75/78

Shirt: E40/41

Sandals: E40/41, Y11/15 and YR23, BG72/75 and R20

Suitcase: E55/57/59, E44/47 and Y11/15 and YR23

I hope you like it!

Have a wonderful summer, full of adventures!

Hugs,

Sandra
