And now you ask, hey Michelle what did you create? Well you already got a peek! My cards were on the banner up a move, but here is a closer look. I decided to Copic color one image two different ways and challenged myself to keep the color pallet as similar to each other as possible. So take a look at the skin and hair first this is where you will see the striking difference and the only difference in markers.

Next a nice pile of markers that create the colorful costumes on BOTH clowns!

One of the things I love about coloring images similar, but different is the ability to then produce two cards that are similar but unique. A little patterned paper, a sentiment from the stamp set, button and twine pull it all together.

One tip if you are coloring and want to fussy cut these images. If there are fine lines that you don’t want to get to close to, cut away from the line and then use your Copics to match the color laying the image below. There are a few sections above that my eyes decided to give out on and I decided to use a B24 that matched the background paper to disguise them. It is not a perfect fix, but works pretty darn good.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
