I was lucky enough to get to play with the Happy Hummingbirds and the Chubby cloud stencil and here is what I came up with:

Other than the B12 shown above all the colors were used on the little humming bird. I took some inspiration from my friend Amanda and added some Fluorescent touches!

This card was quite the process, I masked the bird and added the clouds using the new Kraftin Kimmie Cloud stencil. Next I colored the humming bird with my Copics, then I masked the bird again and airbrushed the sky. Lastly I lightly wiped the clouds with Colorless Blender to get the Blue ink off the Nuvo Glimmer paste.

In hind site I should not have added the Glimmer paste over the sentiment, I thought it would dry a bit more clear.

I finished the card with a simple white card base and a window popped up over the image. I ran the window through my die cut machine with the cloud stencil and rubber matte to emboss the clouds on the frame.

Thank you so much for joining me today! Make sure to stop by the Copic In The Craft Room YouTube channel Wednesday to check out the hummingbird coloring!

Have A Happy Colorful Day!

Copic Coloring Dark Skin Part 1

Coloring darker skin tones takes a little more time and patience than lighter variations, typically there are more layers of ink, they are heavier by nature not as much alcohol solution in the mix. So it takes a little more practice and a lot more mistakes to get images where you would like them to go. You know me I am always up for a good challenge! So when Rubbernecker asked if some of the design team members would help showcase the new images featuring women and men of color I said sure I’ll give it a go!

  • Base the skin in an Earth tone E11
  • Use a mid-tone and shadow to add shape and depth to the face E13 and E15
  • Blend the colors together going in reverse, E13 and E11
  • Add small touches of a blue violet into the deepest shadow areas BV23
  • Fill the lips with E04 and small touches of E09 for shape
  • Color the head wrap and top in a series of reds R81, R83, R85
  • Add squiggled lines over the hair area of the image with darker colors E47, E49, C9 * note you could leave the hair alone the stamp actually stamps the hair black, I always feel like it needs a little more texture and richness. It is very subtle but effective.
  • Fill the pupil of the eye with a warm Earth tone, E35
  • Use a layer of E50 to fill the background and then go over the entire area with W1, this helped match the background to the patterned papers I have chosen

Here are the steps to create the card:

  • Trim a light piece of patterned paper to 4.25 x 5.5 and attach it to a card base
  • Use a scalloped rectangle die to cut a large rectangle from a blog patterned paper and stamp the lower corner with the “Live On Your Terms” sentiment stamp
  • Using the nesting circle dies cut two circles from coordinating patterned papers, attach these together and then use foam tape to pop them up on the card base
  • trim the image using an oval from the nesting die set and use foam tape to pop it up in the center of the circles

Thank you so much for stopping by today! below you will find links to all the Rubbernecker products I am using on this card.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Thanks So Mush!

You read that correctly! I love a good pun 😁. Morning all,  bringing you a little Dare 2B Artzy inspiration this beautiful Tuesday morning. Rolling out more of the new release from D2BA. I have pieces from 2 of the new stamp sets and some of the gorgeous new papers on my card today.

First I colored up my little image with my Copic Markers.

Here is what that little window looks like:

I am liking the look of the unfinished coloring edges so I trimmed my image leaving a white border around the green grass. and added it to layers of the beautiful new patterned papers from the D2BA release.

As always I love all the options Cindy gives us with the coordinating papers! Lots of fun florals, stripes and beautiful colors! All of the new collection will be available to ship March 15th so start your list now and stay tuned for more inspiration from the design team on how to use all the new fun products.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

New Dare 2B Artzy

Dare 2B Artzy has just launched it’s newest release, just in time to showcase them at Creativation 2020! I have been able to play with a few of the new images and will be sharing them over the next month or so.

This little guy is from the new Honey Bear set and I had to go a classic Whinnie the Pooh coloring being a fan and all. The color combo is a simple one!

Bear and Bee – Y21, Y35, R81 Overalls – B91, B95 Honey – Y21, Y28 Honey Pot – Y35, YR24, E99 Cast Shadow – BV23

Then onto a card with new papers from Dare 2B Artzy! I have to say this might be one of my all time FAVORITE paper releases! The bees are too cute and there are some florals and strips that I will use over and over, not to mention that honey comb!

As always thank you so much for stopping by today! Try can hop straight to the D2BA store through the link below.
