Get It Scrapped CT Blog Hop

CTBlogHop-2013Welcome!  If you are just visiting for fun you have stumbled on the Get It Scrapped Creative Team Blog Hop!  If you are stopping by to check on the Copic Week at Creative Passion there is nothing new today but you can scroll down to see any of this past week’s posts.

A favorite article of mine this past year at Get It Scrapped was Ideas For Painterly Techniques and Looks on Scrapbook Pages. Check out the article HERE.  I love the variety of ways the creative Team members used paints on their pages, and really at heart I adore making a painty mess every now and again.  Paint under my nails makes me smile.  So I decided to add some paint on a layout of my own.  I actually painted directly on canvas with acrylics and added it as my background layers.  To me paint is such an amazing medium because I can match it to anything in my layout!

 I also have the honor of sharing the work of one of my team mates. Welcome Deborah Wagner to Scrapweaver.com!

I love experimenting with color palettes so it is no surprise that my favorite GIS articles is “Color: psychological response” http://debbiehodge.com/?s=color+psychological+response&x=0&y=0.  I was inspired by the emotions colors evoked on the pages without the viewer having to read a title or journaling. For my layout, I used black for a masculine, dramatic feel; and orange to add a cheerful, carefree attitude. Of course, my nephew helped me a great deal by wearing these fun colors to prom!

Copic Week Day #4

On to Doodling!  Today the gallery challenge at Creative Passion’s Copic Week is coloring your own doodle.

1 – Draw your own doodle, simple squiggles to a more detailed drawing

2 – Add color with your Copics to your doodle, more doodled lines or fill it in

3 – Add your doodle to our Copic Enthusiast Gallery

Small print: You must upload by 11:00 pm pacific time June 1st to have this entry count towards prize entries.

Remember that if you combine your own doodles with any Copic ink you will need to use a sketch pen that is Copic friendly, Copic Multiliners are the most straightforward answer but you can test any of your favorite sketch pens to see if they work.  I can tell you that Sharpies do not work 😥 But you know me, I don’t think I have tried a pen that I can’t find something good about.  And I do LOVE the Copic Multiliners!
