Ships ahoy!

I had a little fun with this one and decided to play around with my airbrush, something I've not done in a while!

Without further ado here is my latest creation for Copic Europe:

The pirate image was coloured separately and then cut out with scissors and a craft blade before being mounted on to the sprayed background.

Whimsy Stamps - Pirate Boy

Sugar Pea - Heart Journal Card Set die

Copic Airbrush

Caran D'Ache Neocolor II crayons

Copics:

Bandana/Shirt - R22, R24, R29, B0000, N0, N1, N2

Waistcoat - E41, E42, E43, E44, E47, E49, W2

Trousers - B91, B93, B95, B97, B99, R29, R24

Sword - E21, E23, E25, E27, E29, E49

Hair - E00, E11, E13, E15, E17, E18

Patch - W0, W2, W4, W6, W8

Face - W9, RV32, RV34, W1, W3, E0000, E000, E00, E40, V20, R30, R20, C00, C0, C1

Hook - C1, C3, C5, C7, C9

Background - B01, B02, BG01, BG02, BG05, BG07, BG13, E55

I don't know about you but when I use my airbrush I always seem to end up spraying myself.

I had extremely inky fingers on my left hand where I'd been holding down my masking card - note to self to use more tape next time!

But atleast with my trusty cardboard airbrush booth I can keep my desk nice and clean!

(I cannot remember where I got it, sorry)

I hope this card inspires you all to dust off your airbrushes or go splurge on one and have a go; it really does give you a lovely background to showcase your stamped images and adds another dimension to your Copic colouring!!

Happy Colouring

Let spring brings us flowers

Hello dear all Copic friends,

it’s Cinzia here, back again to share with you a new card I made for Copic Marker Europe blog.

This  time I work on a Sweet Pea Stamp image  called “Cherry blossom” and created by the talented artist Conie Fong. I think that this very beautiful and mysterious lady surrounded by flowers and butterflies express the idea of spring, and most of us are just waiting for it to come…

The papers are from Maia Design and from Magnolia, the dies are Memory Box ”Corner Bow”, Spellbinder “Decorative Labels 8” and the butterflies are from the Cheery Lynn die “ Exotic Butterflies Small”

Here is a close up of the colored image, I used lightest colours in order to highlight the delicacy and transparency of this image:

A close up of some details…

… the butterfly are cut from white cardstock and then coloured with copics in the same way of the stamped butterfly of the image, I add some Stickles “Stardust “ on the body.

And here is a close up of the bottom part.

I have used Websters papers and stitched the back panel using a zig zag stitch. Here's a close up of the image, coloured with copics of course.

Ich habe Papiere von Webster verwendet und die hinterste Lage mit einem Zick-Zack-Stich umrandet. Hier ist eine Nahaufnahme des Motives, das natürlich mit Copics coloriert ist.
