Viking : Monochrome Coloring with Neutral Grey (N)

Hello,

Today I have prepared a cool Viking card,

I love to make male cards and I just love this stamp set called:

 Vailant Vikings by Kraftin Kimmie Stamps.

I have chosen my Neutral Grey sketch markers to do some monochromatic coloring ( monotone coloring ).

With some wicked black hybrid ink I have stamped the Viking onto Perfect Copic Colouring Paper.

First I have added a layer of N 0 on the helmet. Later I have added darker  N shades and have blended them.

With the N Copic sketch markers I continue to colour the Viking stamp, even the skin was coloured with the N Copic.

Please find the complete step by step ( short )  video to see how I have used the colours. 

Hope you have enjoyed the video.

Isn't this sentiment hilarious too!?

I am sure it will be fun to see the face of the receiver of this card.

I have used some black and white papers, and with some nesting dies from Crealies 

I have cut the Perfect colouring Paper into a shape with a stitched border and a glitter card stock layer too..

Copic :

N 0, N 1, N 3, N 4, N 5, N 7, N 10

Thanks for your visit, see you soon with a new post.

For You | Anti-stress Copic Doodling with Video

Hello,

How are you? A little stressed?

Today I am sharing a new anti stress doodling with my Copic, highly recommendable!

I have started with a piece of Perfect Colouring Paper a stencil from Kraftin Kimmiestamps (kaleidoscope) and a black Copic multiliner 0.3.

I have traced some of the circles. This design will just be my guideline.

Here you can see the shapes I have traced from the stencil, now I have started to add Copic colors and connect the shapes with doodles.

Just relaxing.. no thinking ..

I have picked some blue greens and yellow greens and to give it a pop also some fluorescent colors,

see list below.

I have made a little video for you.

And did you like the video?

Fun to see what effects you create with two multiliners and little Copic marker.

And some dots with a white gelly roll pen.

I have glued the design onto a black card ,

The fishtail die is from My Favorite Things

The text was cut out of foam with a die from Modascrap.

I like the contrast..end result a card and I am totally relaxed too :).

Copic:

The petals of the  flowers are coloured.

On the wings I have added some glossy accents and when it was dry I have also added some little dots with a white gelly roll pen.

The "pearls" were made with some dreamy drops from Nuvo in the colour fairy wings :).

The slimline dies are from the new Crealies collection..

Love Bugs...

Hi all,

A New Year has started ...

so I thought why don't we start 2020 with a little love?

I have coloured up some of the the brand  new stamps from Kraftin Kimmie,

I love this " Love bugs " set as it has many different images and some fun sentiments too..

To use several images together I have  masked some stamps to create various layers,

just a little reminder  when you are masking stamps  the first stamped image will actually be the one in the front at the end.

So that means that these ladybirds and the big flower (my first stamped images) will be in the front of all the later stamped images in the end.

You will need :

 Perfect Colouring paper, masking tape and stamps...

this is during the masking...

This is during the colouring of the flowers

Below you can watch my video from the start until the finished card,

step by step.

Thanks for watching!
