Hippy Hopping today with Hero Arts!
Hero arts asked if the Copic team would like to play along for this month’s My Monthly Hero March 2016 kit and I said “Yes Please!”
The kit is FULL of fun stuff: 12 coloring cards on XPressIt paper, coordinating stamps and dies, an Intense Black ink cube (alcohol marker-friendly), extra XPressIt paper, assorted notecards, and a package of gems.
There are even add ons to make your kit go further!
DC184 Ribbon Messages Stamp & Cut: https://heroarts.com/shop-sidebar/dc184-ribbon-messages-stamp-cut/
CL964 Marianne’s Flowers: https://heroarts.com/shop-sidebar/cl964-mariannes-flowers/
PS755 Coloring Foundation Book – Flowers: https://heroarts.com/shop-sidebar/ps755-coloring-f…ion-book-flowers/
I played with two of the coloring cards that came in the kit. Here is the first:
I added a sentiment right onto the card with one of the optional Ribbon messages and because the ink that came in the kit works with my Copics I colored the whole image up and got it on a card base wa-la! I used a lot of coloring tips that Marianne Walker shares in her Coloring Flowers Book.
Here is a close up, I added a little bling to the letters and dragonfly wings with a atyou Spica pen but it is hard to see 🙂 Copic Colors Used: B41, V12, V04, V17, G20, G21, G24, G28, YG09, B99, BV20, C0, C1
My next card I created with another coloring card and this time added not only a sentiment but stamped some of the matching flowers on one of the blank sheets of paper as well.
I fussy cut and popped everything up and yay, another quick and easy card! Copic Colors Used: YG01, YG03, YG07, YG09, BV00, BV02, V12, V14, Y21, Y35, Y28, YR14, YR18
But I am not the only one playing along today make sure you stop by the other fun stops along the Hero Arts hop today!

Woweeeeeeeeeeeee! You’ve outdone yourself….gorgeous pieces of art! Love the kit and have already ordered mine! Thanks for the fabulous inspiration!!
I love how you colored and cut some of the pieces for 3-dimensional effect. I’d have never thought to do that!

Beautifully colored! I’ve got so much to learn on top of what I’ve already learned! The level of expertise of you Copic instructors is mind-numbing!
The trio of flowers in the CL964 are my favorite. Would love to have one of those autographed books. Beautiful fussy cutting. The colors are beautiful, too.
Well, I left the “y” off of the end of my name. Typing too fast. Sorry, I tried to correct it but it wouldn’t let me reply with the same comment.

Beautiful cards. The dragonflies really pop against the hyacinth flowers. But I have to say your second card is my favorite of the 2. Brilliant colors highlight the “Doodle”-like flowers. Plus the layering adds such a nice dimension.
Both of your cards are just beautiful!

Really love seeing all the ways to use ‘coloring’ images onto our finished cards!!
Thanks for sharing 2 cards. The coloring cards are such a big time saver. I’m impressed with your artistic shading on the lavender flowers. Coloring additional flowers to top on the second card is inspired.
