Hey Hey! welcome back! I am playing with one of the images from the Forest Friends stamp set for this post. A few of you will have seen this card before at the spring retreat. Here is a close up of the little critters colored up with my Copics.

Here is a look at the background I created. I lightly sketched in pencil and then colored with my Copics.

Here is a look at the finished card. I am contemplating pulling the flowers off and finishing the lower right corner in a different way. Needs a couple buttons and maybe some twine 😉.

Thanks for stopping by as always! Make sure to check out the rest of the DT for all the lovely inspiration!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

I decided to play with LOTS of the add on goodies for this card and believe it or not there are NO Copics! I did however photo the process:

I used reposition able tape to attach one of the smaller ovals from this months stencil set to my card front.
I ran my tape runner in diagonal stripes across the card and right over the oval. Then used green glitter from the add on set.
Here is the first layer. I left the tape inside the edges knowing I would trim down the card front.
I used my tape runner again and added more diagonal stripes in between the green. This time I added hello glitter.
Once you have dusted of the excess glitter gently peel the oval mask off the card front. (I used a little Goo Gone to get my stencil clean)
I finished the card by adding my sentiment stamp as well as glitter cardstock and ribbon from the add on kit this month!

Thanks for stopping by today! Lots more crafty goodies coming over the next several days. Check in with the other Design Team members and I will be back here with more tomorrow.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Aren’t these hamsters too cute?! They are sweeter than sweet. I am playing with the hamster in the wheel today. Feels a little like my life right now ha ha! Here are some looks at what I created. Here are the Copic colors I used. I stamped the image in light pink in order to color in a no-line coloring style. The E 7’s, E50 and E 93 are on the hamster. The BV11, BV31 and Colorless Blender are the background and the gray Multiliner is what I went over the wheel with.

Here is a close look at the Copic coloring:

I added this cutie onto a card under a window and added some sparkle from this month’s add on package and a few more do-dads!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

I played with this fun stamp set during the last virtual retreat but decided to color another of the images in the set as well as add a personal touch to it! I added a braid to the dragon rider and recorded the whole thing so you can watch if you like! First here is a closer look at the image and the Copic coloring as well as the added hair braid:

And here is a look at the card I completed. I did a simple inky background with Copic refill ink on photo paper.

Lastly how about a link to the video tutorial?! It is all in real time so between the drawing and the coloring it is a longer video but hope you might have a chance to watch a few moments! Thank you for stopping by!
