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

Sweet Cotton Candy

Hi dear Copic Lovers,

So sorry for beeing a little late with my card for today. I am still in summer holiday...

so better late than never ;) here it comes...

 

I've used this wonderfull and sweet Mo Manning Digi Stamp called "Cotton Candy".
Coloured it with my Copic Sketch Markers and added some Glitter Glue on it.
That makes the cotton candy shiny and sparkling as if it is really sticky.

 

The dies used for my butterflies (set of 3) and the swirl-leaves are some by Whiff Of Joy.

 The flowers used are by Wild Orchid Crafts. I kept my card entirely in soft candy pastell colours.

A sweet girlie card :)

B0000 / B00 / BG000 / BG01 / BG07 / G0000 / G40 / G43

The colors I just are :

Skin : E11 - E00 - E000

Hair : YR27 - Y26 - Y15 - Y13 - Y11

Green : C5 - R07 - YG17 - YG25 - YG0000

I hope I did inspire you with my card and wish you a beautifull day.

Dream with Mermaids

Hello Copic lovers! It's Delphine here today to share a bit of magic with a couple of adorable mermaids, some airbrushing and Copics of course! Here is what I have done...

First I stamped the text which is made of with three separate stamps from the Prima Wishes and Dreams set, then I airbrushed the background (starting with my lightest colour, then using darker colours). On another piece of paper, I stamped my two Sweet November mermaids by CC Designs, coloured them with my Copics, cut them out and put them on foam squares. I then added two Make It Crafty chipboard corners. Here is a close up and the list of all the Copics I used:

Background: B04, 06, BG02, 07, 15

Skin: E000, 00, 02, 11, 23

Tail: B41, 45, 60, 63, 66, 69

Eyes: B41, 63, BG000 

Hair: BV00, 01, 02, 04, 08 / E08, 19, 21, 95, 97, 99

I have tried a new combo for the tails and I have not done brown or black hair, for a little change! Thank you very much for your visit, have a lovely day! Hugs

Summer Days

Good morning ,

I have used two images  from the  CCDesigns Summer Days Set and  masked the image to add the picnic basket behind her.  I used the Marianne Design Stitch Circle to cut out the image.  I have also used the new Marianne Design Tinys Hearts on the right hand side and popped some gorgeous flowers from The Ribbon Girl into the centre and added the Marianne Designs Vintage Ornament 2 on both sides of the card.

The base of the card was made using a Go Kreate Die.  The gorgeous papers are by MayaDesign Spring Basics.

I added some grass using YG97, YG63, G20, G99 and YG03 and outlined the image using BG10 and blended out with BG000.

Copic Markers Used:-

Skin E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000

For the pure Joy of Colouring

Hello, dear Copic fans,

today, it is me, Barbara/Kreativmonster, but I do not have a card for you. 

Some days ago, Zoe from Make it Crafty showed her coloured version of "Maiden with long golden hair" and I simply knew, I had to colour her, too. Today, I needed some recreation, it is hot in my office and we have loads and loads of extra-work to do, so I decided to take my Copics and do some colouring out in the shadow on my terrace. It was just lovely and it worked, I am much more relaxed now. 

I have been asked before, how long such a colouring takes me and this time, it was two hours.

She will find a cosy place in my "Colouring-Book" and I will try to colour a smaller version to use her on a card, that will not be easy!

Copics I used:

Skin: E 50, E51, E01, E02

Hair: E53, E55, E57, E31

Dress: B91, B93, B95

Tiara: Y32, Y35

W1, W3

I hope, you find as much pleasure in colouring as I do!

Big Hugs
