I kept it simple background wise a cloud filled sky and grassy hill. And I found two fun patterned papers and a little lace and twine to tie it all together.

I was so torn between all three of the images in this set tough! I know I will be using the other two shortly.

Snowman Copic Coloring

There are SO MANY snowman images out there! And I love them all. Let’s take a peek at one today and I will walk you through how I use Copics to color him up. The beauty is these steps can bee used on all your snow buddies! Let’s get coloring.

  • Use a light blue violet to flick from the edge of the snowman inward. (BV20)
  • Starting from the white area, use the Colorless Blender to flick into the blue violet to soften the edge. (0)
  • To deepen the shadows use a darker blue violet to dab in color at the bottom edge. (BV23)
  • Soften with the lighter blue violet. (BV20)
  • If needed use the Colorless Blender to fade the edge again. (0)
  • Use two yellow reds to color the carrot nose. (YR24, YR21)
  • Use a dark gray to color the coal. (C7)
  • Color every other stripe on the scarf, the bottom edge and pom-pom on the hat with two greens. (G46, G43)
  • Use two reds on the opposite stripes and the rest of the hat. (R39, R35)
  • As an optional step, use the Colorless Blender on the coal to add dimension. (0)
  • Use a light blue green or blue to color the sky. (BG000)
  • Use the light blue violet and Colorless Blender to dot in a snowy ground for your snow buddy. (BV20, 0)

Finish your card with simple patterned paper layers, a wonderful sentiment and maybe a bow of twine. Thank you for visiting Copic In the Craft Room today! Below you will find links to the Rubbernecker Stamp products used in this post.

Merry Christmas!

I decided to go way back to a release from February, Happy Hedgehogs. Then why not shake it up and use them for a Christmas card? I colored my Hedgehogs up with my Copics and put them into a starry night. I also changed the flowers a bit aiming for a poinsettia look. They are pretty small but I got the red in there😉.

Here are all the colors I used on the hedgehogs, and flowers.

Here are the colors I used and the night scene for the pair.

Here they are all colored. I love how quick and easy these two are to color up. Keep it simple whenever possible!

Merry Merry 12th day of December! Thank you so much for hopping by! Continue through the full design team and then share one of your favorite cards or a new one created with a set from the 2020 collection.

Have a MERRY Colorful Day!

Tangled Kitty with Glowing Lights

Ready for some holiday cheer? I have a quick holiday Copic coloring tutorial for you with a fun Rubbernecker Stamp. Tangled Kitty is an image that allows you to make the kitty your own and use colors that remind you of your favorite 4 legged friend. Here are the steps I took to create the look of glowing Christmas lights all tangles around this kitty.

  • Color in the lights with bright saturated colors. (R35, G46)
  • Use a lighter color of each of the lights to create a halo of color around each bulb. (R00, G40)
  • Use a series of colors to color the kitty. As you approach the light halos lighten the colors of the kitty. (Base color – E50 Tabby stripes – YR21, YR24)
  • Use the Colorless Blender to further lighten the halo around each bulb. (0)
  • Work back and forth with the fur colors, halo color and colorless blender to get the desired effect. (E50, YR21, YR24, R00, G40, 0)
  • Fill the cord and bulb bases with a dark gray. (C7
  • Use a series of yellows to light up the star. (Y35, Y21, Y00)
  • Use the colorless blender in a small dot on each bulb base. (0)
  • Base the floor in a light earth tone. (E31)
  • Use a darker earth tone to create wood grain texture. (E35)
  • Soften the wood grain with the lighter earth tone. Then use the Colorless Blender to lighten the area around the lower bulb. (E35, 0)
  • Color in the wall behind the kitty with a light earth tone. (E70)
  • Use the Colorless Blender to lighten the wall color further and create a glow around the upper bulb and star. (0)
  • Use an opaque white pen to add small highlights on the bulbs and star.

Thank you as always for stopping by. You will see links to the Rubbernecker Stamp products below. I am so looking forward to the holidays this year! It feels good to be headed that way!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Spinning a “Yarn”

Another Copic coloring adventure with Ann Corbiere-Scott Designs. I fell in love with this new image, Joyce Ann, from Ann. I like all of her designs but this one is so stinking fun to color! I decided to try for a multicolor yarn effect with some favorite colors. Surprisingly it was A LOT easier than it looks. And lucky for you I filmed it!

There is one more marker that is not photoed and that is a BV23. I used that one to give a little more dimension to the skien.

I pulled out buttons and twine to finish the slimline card. I can’t remember when I glue dotted a button on a card! I adore buttons. Anyway super fun! Check out the coloring in the real time video! Then hop over to Ann Corbiere-Scott Designs to pick up an image or two.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
