Week Three With Ann Corbiere-Scott Designs

Hello again. I am back with a third week guest designing for Ann Corbiere-Scott Designs. This week I am using one of Ann’s newer images, Aunt Mur. Copics are the star of the show again and I decided on a BOLD color combination for the petals.

From the center out are V17, V04 and V12, then from the edges inward are R59, R85 and R81. When coloring these I did about a quarter of the petals at a time in order to keep the ink fluid and blending easily.

Once I had the petals complete I added golden yellows to the center and on the background as well. The center is colored with YR21, YR23 and YR24 and the background is colored with Y21. I first colored in the background and after it dries I added dots with the same color. Once again completing the card was as simple as trimming the image, adding is on a colored base and a card base. For this card I also used one of the sentiments that Ann includes with all of her sets. A few drops of glossy accents on the petals as a finishing touch!

Thank you for stopping bye today! I will have another post next week with more lovely art from Ann.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

More Slimline Stamps!

Rubbernecker Stamps has more slimline stamps and I want to make sure you see them all! Today I have a quick run through of the Copic Colors I used on the Christmas and the Birthday Slimline stamps. I think you will love both of these. Let’s start with the Christmas stamp.

Work through the full image with one color family at a time. You will find other small areas to come back to with each color group at the end, but this system helps me keep a more complex image like this balanced.

  • The darker red Copic group I used for this image consists of 3 reds that I used from dark too light. R59, R29, R24
  • The lighter red group I used consists of 2 reds and the Colorless Blender. R20, R21, 0
  • The yellow/gold group also uses the Colorless Blender with 3 yellows. Y28, Y21, Y00, 0
  • On both the lighter and darker green areas I used a combination of blue green and green colors to get the evergreen feel to the image.
  • For the lighter green areas I used a blue green and green as well as the Colorless Blender. BG70, G40, 0
  • The darker green areas use 2 blue greens and 3 greens. BG70, G40, BG72, G43, G46
  • The white areas use a light blue violet and the Colorless Blender. BV20, 0
  • The background areas are filled in with a dark blue. B39
  • There are a few light brown areas including the cookie edges and twine, these areas got two light earth tones. E50, E53

Then I colored up the Birthday Slimline. I used the same technique working through the entire images one color family at a time. Some I colored light to dark and others dark to light. I will list them in the order that I used them. I also switched gears to bright primary and secondary colors for this image.

  • Starting with the reds I used a very common 3 color natural blending group for the red sections. R29, R24, R22
  • I used a set of 3 yellow reds for the orange sections that I colored. YR09, YR07, YR04
  • The bright yellow sections I kept simple with two yellow Copics. Y19, Y13
  • I wanted the greens to stay bright and cheery so I used 3 yellow greens. YG09, YG03, YG01
  • Bright blue sections have a group of 3 blues. B28, B24, B21
  • I kept the purple sections lighter with two lighter violets. I also used the lighter color and the Colorless Blender in the white areas. V04, V01, 0
  • I used a light blue and the Colorless Blender in all the background sections to keep this image bright and cheerful. B01, 0

Thank you as always for stopping by and checking out what I am up to! Below you will find links to the Rubbernecker Stamp site where you can find all the RN products I used on the two card fronts above.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Copic Coloring Video With Ann Corbiere-Scott

Hello my friends! This past Sunday I shared that I am Guest Designing for Ann Corbiere-Scott Designs this month. Today I am sharing the wonderful Patricia image. I have a Copic coloring tutorial that is going live today over on the Copic In The Craft Room YouTube channel.

These beautiful acorns and leaves are just screaming for fall colors! Here is a list of the colors I used: Acorn G20, E50, E31, E33, E35 – Tops E21, E23, E25 – Leaves Y35, YR24, E99 – Cast Shadows BV23, BV25 – Sky B32, Colorless Blender. Close Ups…

Because Ann has these sized perfectly for card fronts all I did was add a patterned paper that peeks around the edges and a card base beneath the image.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Make sure to also stop over at the Copic In The Craft Room YouTube channel to check out the new Copic coloring video.

Have A Happy Colorful Day!

Even if he is a bit fuzzy. I used my Copic and worked to to make the lights look like they are turned on and glowing slightly.

I decided to play with the Winter scenery stamp set today and attempted a full scene on a slimline card. I used my I stamped out the full scene first. I added a river running from the mountains out under the bridge very lightly with pencil. And then I colored up the full scene with my Copics. Here are some views.

I kept the scene at the center of attention. with a couple layers. There is a card base, the image is popped up on foam and then a very narrow frame layer on top of the image.

Was honored to get to play with Alison Cope’s first stamp release with Kraftin’ Kimmie! Hope there will be more to come!
