My little snuggle bunny rosette card and box

Hi Copic friends.

As we are getting closer to Easter 

I have decided to colour up this cute digital stamp designed by Cheryl Grant,

it is called "my little snuggle bunny".

Such a sweet image and not only for Easter!

Love her designs.

Of course I have prepared you a step by step video of the colouring.

Here is a sneak preview,

please find the colouring process on the video below.

Did you like my video?

 I have decided to use the rosette card as cover for the open circle in the box. 

This box will contain lovely yummy Easter chocolate eggs.

I have used my brand new die set from Studiolight to make the top and bottom of the box.

Inside I have added a box base made with my Crafters Companion Multi-Pro,

this was glued onto the lower piece I have cut with my die. 

Now this box will open as a book .

Here you can see the box from the top.

Mmmmm chocolate eggs..

You can take of the rosette card to get some eggs or you can completely open the box.

Please get yourself a chocolate egg. Thanks for your visit and lots of bunny hugs.

Have a nice chocotastic Easter!

Blending to White

Hi Everyone, it's Faye here today :)

This month I thought I'd talk to you about blending a colour out to white. You can use any colour, the trick is to bring the number right down to something ending with at least one 0, so you can blend that out with Colourless Blender.

I am using Whimsy Stamps Smiling Flowers.

Ready? Let's go...

I'm colouring from dark to light, so I'm starting with RV13. As each petal is fairly small, I don't have much space to bring this colour down to a low number, I'm only laying a little RV13.

Blend out with RV21. Again, see how much space I have left for myself.

Pull the colour a little further into the petal with RV10.

We're starting to get nice and pale now... RV000.

The last colour I am using is RV0000.

As you can see where the RV0000 ends, blend the edge of this line with Colourless Blender to create a smooth transition between the colour and white space.

I wanted to add a little colour to the petals where they meet the flower centre, but I didn't want to go as dark as I did for the outer edges of the petals, or come in as far. Using the same process, I added RV10, RV000, RV0000.

That's all the petals done! Let's finish the stamp...

Y00, Y11 and Y04.

YG61, G21, G24 and E70.

E41, E42, E43, E44.

R43, R35, R37, R39.

To complete the image I added small, randomly placed dots on the petals with RV10 and RV21.

That's it!

Copics Used...
Petals; Colourless Blender, RV0000, RV000, RV10, RV21, RV13
Flower centers; Y00, Y11, Y04
Stems; YG61, G21, G24, E70
Flower Wrapper; E41, E42, E43, E44
Bow; R43, R35, R37, R39

Thanks so much for stopping by... Have a great day.

Scarecrow

Hi everyone! It's Virginia here with a new tutorial. I know it's just Spring but, I'm thinking of holiday and summer so, I've decided to colour a wheat field ready to harvest as my background.

Additionally, many of you know how I do love tales. It is the reason way I've done another bookmark related to a book, 'The Wizard of Oz'. I've used a Saturated Canary Stamp, a really sweet scarecrow.

As usual, here you have the step by step video tutorial. I hope you like it.

The Copic Marker colours I've used are: 

Skin: E13-E22-E00-R30

Hair: E35-E47-E49

Hat and heaters: E39-E37-E35-E33

Trousers and shoes: E44-E43-E42-E41

Shirt: E89-E95-E93-E91

Sky: B0000-B91-C01-C00-Blender

Bushes: BG91-BG95-BG97

Wheat field: Y000-Y23-Y28-E99 

That's all!! I'd be delighted if you leave me a comment.

See you next month!

Copics and coloured pencils

Hello fabulous Copic fans, I love my Copic markers but I also love my coloured pencils. So what could be better than combining your 2 favourite colouring tools.

For today's post I chose a colouring sheet by Christine Karron. 

Start colouring the skin with the E50. Add a thin layer with the broad nib of the Copic marker to get an even coverage of colour. Then add BV00 for shadow.  Cover the BV00 with E00 to get a warmer skin tone. Blend all layers together with the E000 and E0000. 

When colouring the eyes I start with the lightest colour first, the YG13. Then add YG17. For the darkest part of the eye I use YG67. Blend all layers together with the YG13. For some shadow in the eyes I use the W3. Use RV10 for her lips. 

For the leaves I use the same colours as for her eyes, YG13, YG17 and YG67. For some highlights I use the FY1. 

I started colouring the rosebuds with the R02, R05, R08 and R29. After I coloured her hair, I thought the rosebuds were too orange so I decided to add another layer of colour, a more rosy red. I chose RV25. 

Her little basket will be brown. Start with E35, then add the E37 and the E39. For the darkest parts I use E49 to give the basket more depth. 

I love roses like this, rosa rubiginosa or eglantine. 

Start with the lightest colour, RV21. Add more depth with RV23 and RV25. 

Use the RV29 for the darkest parts of the rose. Blend all layers together with the RV23 and RV21.

When I started colouring this image I didn't have any clue what colour hair this pretty fairy should have. After I coloured the roses I knew her hair should be pink. When colouring hair I always start with the darkest colour first, the RV29.

After the RV29 I use the RV25, then the RV23 and blend all the layers together with RV21. Sometimes you might want to add some RV29 again, to enhance the colour a bit after blending it with RV21.

For the wings I use YG13, YG17, RV23, RV25, B000, B02 and B04. 

For the background I use YG11, YG13, B000 and B00. 

After all the Copic colouring is done I will add some coloured pencils in similar colours and some gel pen white for highlights. 

I hope you like the end result.

 have a fabulous day and see you all next month,

Miranda

Save the drama for your Llama!

Hi  Copic friends,

Can you keep a secret?

Well today I have an absolute preview for you,

after that Kim from Kimmie stamps  has agreed 

I can already show you the newest stamp set called llama drama,

this set will be released in a few days.

It is still top secret but just for you, dear Copic fans I can make an exception and show it.

As you might have noticed Llamas are "hot",

this lovely new clear stamp set has three llamas (or should I say llama's?)

and some fun text stamps too.

I have cut a piece of Perfect Colouring Paper with my MFT die,

and have stamped the stamps with some black ink.

Glad I have a stamp tool it is so easy.

I did some masking of three Lamas and this is the result..

It all began like this.

Please watch the coloring video below..

caution it might have a positive, cheerful effect on you 😉

I had fun colouring and picking some nice and bright Copic colours.

During the colouring process…

The final result!

After colouring I have added some faux stitching with some MFT dies,

added some enamel dots and twine and two sentiments.

On the glasses of the right llama I have added some glossy accents.

Some design papers from my collection..

Hope you have enjoyed this peek..and that your day will be nice , cheery and colourful!
