Make sure to check the store for all the details! The plan is to have a new image each month. This month we have a gnome! I do like a sweet gnome and I am adoring this one! I colored him up with my Copics. Here is a look at the colors I used:

Skin – E000, E01, E93, E34 Hair – E34, E08, E09, E27 Hat and Flowers – Y11, Y15, Y17 Overalls and Shirt – G20, G94, G99 Leaves – YG61, YG63 Sky – B0000, Colorless Blender, Cast Shadows – BV20, BV23

Possum Close Up #2

Possum Close Up #3

And then a fun slimline card with windows to pop the 3 possums. The third possum I used a Kraft knife to trim around the ears, head and two paws over on the right side. Then lifted those portions out and over the window.

I had a great time coloring up this sweet Krafty Komeback image and I am anxious to get back to coloring more! Here is a peek at the Copics I used.

I happened to have just purchased this fun set of papers and decided they were a perfect fit for this girl and her bear.

And here is a close up of the coloring! Notice the cheat, I colored the area between her legs and in the openings of the hair bow to match the paper behind. That way I do not have to cut those tiny, interior areas out.

Thanks as always for stopping by. I will be sharing all the new goodies over the next several days, so stay tuned and make sure to keep watching all the Design Team’s creations and inspirations!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Color a Rainbow

Had such a fun time playing with this new image from Ann Corbiere Scott Designs. This one is named after Ann! “Ann Marie” Here is a peek at all the colors I used then I will share a little of the process.

First I used the full rainbow of colors on the paint pans. I used one color in each, let them dry then added a second layer with just scribbles to add a little texture, I finished them with a little Colorless Blender to push the texture a little more.

I then used each of the colors to splatter ink over each of the pans. Do you remember how you flicked paint with a paint brush or tooth brush on a painting? I did the same thing, I flicked the brush end of my Copic against a folded piece of cardstock toward the art work. I also let the marker tip bump against the paper a few times.

I then used the grays to color the brush handle and the crimped metal. I also used the light grays to create the cast shadows around the watercolor pans and paint brush. The earth tones were used on the bristles.

I love a good play day with my markers and flicking ink all over certainly fit the bill! I built the “paint tray” up with stacked cardstock and put the whole thing on a slimline card base.

Thanks so much for stopping in to my little creative world. I am hoping everyone is staying healthy and happy and finding time to recharge these days!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
