Gnome Lineup from Rubbernecker

I have an adorable lineup of gnomes from Rubbernecker all in a row that will fit on a slimline card when I have the time to put them on one. For today here is a more detailed break down of how I used my Copic Markers to color one and then the Copic colors I used on the rest of them! I am trying something new with my images since there are SO MANY! You will see mini slideshows below so you will need to scroll through to see the steps! ( Slide shows did not post so sorry this is going to be LONG!

  • Base the pants with a B95
  • Use a B97 to add form bringing the darker coloring from the sides.
  • Blend the colors together using the lighter B95 to smooth out the edges of the B97.
  • Base the stripes of the hat in two light colors, I used YR12 and B60.
  • Use two darker markers to add shape to all the stripes bringing the colors in from the sides again. I used YR15 and B63.
  • Blend the colors together using the lighter markers.
  • Base the beard in a light earth tone. I used E50.
  • Use a warm gray to start creating texture on the beard. W3 is the color I started with.
  • Use a darker warm gray, I used W5 in lesser amounts, to deepen the texture on the beard.
  • Soften the flicks on the beard using the lightest earth tone, E50 in this case.
  • Two small areas to tackle next. Base the skin in a light yellow red, YR000. Then fill the shirt in with a darker yellow red, YR12.
  • Add shape to all these areas with a YR01 on the skin, and the shirt with a YR15.
  • Finish the skin by blending with the lighter YR000 and adding touches of E93. Finish the shirt by blending the colors together with the lighter YR12.
  • Finishing up this gnome with his shoes, base them in an earth tone, E23.
  • Use a darker earth tone along the bottom edge to round them, E27.
  • Blend the colors together using the lighter earth tone, E23.

Here is gnome #1 with all of his colors. In the next slide show I used similar colors for some sections of each of the gnomes so your will see the skin and shoe combos on each of the gnomes!

  • On gnome #2 use the same skin and shoe combination.
  • On gnome #2 use YR31, Y23 and Y26 on the beard.
  • On gnome #3 use the same skin and shoe combination.
  • On gnome #3 use YR31, Y23 and Y26 on the beard.
  • On gnome #4 use the same skin and shoe combination.
  • On gnome #4 use E50, W3 and W5 on the beard.
  • On gnome #5 use the same skin and shoe combination.
  • On gnome #5 use E31, E33 and E99 on the beard.

Now let’s look at the clothing on each of the gnomes.

  • Gnome #2 uses a set of blues and yellow greens, B00, B02, YG13 and YG17.
  • Gnome #3 uses yellow greens and yellows, YG13, YG17, Y35 and Y38.
  • Gnome #4 uses yellows and blues, Y02, Y06, B60 and B63.
  • Gnome #5 uses yellows and a different set of blues, Y02, Y06, B00 and B02.

I need to complete the scene and get them on a card. They are just too cute and even thought this post is long with all the steps they actually color up extremely quickly! Below you will find links to the Rubbernecker Stamps products in this post. Thank you as always for stopping by!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Come on back tomorrow for some more krafty fun and goodness!

I decided to create a few bookmarks for something fun and different with these fun critters!

I used Copic Air Brush System and the Splish Splash stencil to create the backgrounds. I also used Copics to color the critters peeking in and propped on top of the books!

I used watercolor paper for the bookmarks so the Copic coloring is very soft looking. I finished them off with some random fun fibers and Krafty dots. Now remember there is more to come tomorrow! Stay tuned!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

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!

Happy Veteran’s Day Poppy

Happy Veteran’s Day. Thank you to those that have served and are serving this amazing country I call home. Thank you for defending my freedom. I am celebrating the day sharing a poppy image created by Ann Corbiere-Scott. This is part of her Lucinda set. I used my Copics on the poppy and Color Burst to create the background. I am loving how the two combined so well.

I kept the image fairly simple and used three color groups but very bright and vibrant! For the background, to keep it really light, I used the leftover Color Burst on my craft matte. It worked perfectly for a subtle soft background behind the bright flower.

I fussy cut the flower and then colored a second flower center and fussy cut it out as well. I mounted the watercolor paper on the card base, after wrapping it with twine. I added a touch of color to one of the included sentiments and then attached it to the lower left corner and popped the lower up in the upper right corner.

A few dots of glossy accents finished the card and adds a little sparkle. If you would like to more of Ann’s beautiful digital art head over to her shop! Thank you as always for stopping in today. I hope you are staying healthy and happy through this fall.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
