I just updated all the Copic Classes that are open across the US and Canada. There are more to come, but these are the classes that are currently open for registration RIGHT NOW. Check them out in my side bar or HERE is a direct link.
Two weekends to take special note of (they are all important, but these two are worth mentioning). One there is a brand new Certification weekend added to the calendar in my neck of the woods. Here in Ankeny, Iowa my wonderful friend Lori Craig will be teaching the Standard and Intermediate Certification as well as the new Copic Flowers class. These classes run June 3rd-4th.
Also Debbie Olson is starting off the workshops in Milwaukee, WI May 6th-7th. These are the first workshops of the 2016 season and include, More Whimsical Faces and Hair, Vintage Values and Monotones, and Dress for Success – Clothing and Accessories.
If yo would like to read more about any of the classes or check the schedule for the rest of the 2016 class season check out all the information at Imagination International, Inc.
Hope you see a weekend happening near you, or near enough to schedule a fun filled weekend of coloring!
I’ll be back on the road in June as I head to San Diego to teach workshops, I promise I will give you a heads up!
I have just updated all the current OPEN Certification and Coloring Flowers Workshops. All are open through April, we only have 2 locations left in May after these classes so check them out and see if we are in your neighborhood or a near by state :-). Check out the dates, times and locations in my sidebar or HERE, or at the Imagination International, Inc. site HERE
Then in May we also start adding a few more Workshop classes. If you missed them last year the More Whimsical Faces and Hair, Vintage Values and Mono-Tones and Clothing and Accessories Workshops are coming around again so make sure to catch them when they stop near you! I will post again when these classes start opening up!
Look out Atlanta here I come. In 5 and a half weeks I will be flying my way to (another new destination for me) Atlanta, Georgia! I will be teaching the Copic Standard and Intermediate Certification as well as the brand new Copic Flower class. All three classes have been open for registration a couple weeks now and are filling fast so if you would like to come play get signed up today!
In the mean time here is a little inky fun for today! I created a VERY SIMPLE background for a little Valentines card for my Doodlebug. I used my Copic Various Ink and created the background on a shiny photo paper. I also used a straw for this particular technique, mine happens to be a milkshake straw so don’t let the size throw you of 🙂
Step #1 – I dripped 3 dots of one of my colors onto my paper.
Step #2 – I blew through the straw quickly splattering the ink.
Step #3 – I repeated the process with 2 more colors.
Like anything else you might have to play a little with colors that work well together!
Step#4 – Patiently wait for the ink to dry (ha ha) and attach your new paper onto your card!
I used Various inks in BG00, YG01, B02 for the background, the stamp is by Taylored Expressions and the Copic colors used are FYG1, YG01, FRV1, RV04, BG000, Boo. I also use my Kirarina Wink to create the doodled outline on the card. It worked great over the ink and on the slick surface!
