A Fairytale Day

Good Morning everyone!
Color Me Creative Classroom is having a fun challenge using those wonderful Copic Markers coloring "white" images. Anyone can play along and of course, there is always the opportunity to win some fabulous blog candy! Interested? Stop by to play along! Hope to see you there!

I created two cards using Suzanne Dean's technique for coloring white images with Copic Markers. Color Me Creative Classroom Class 2/Video 6 "Coloring White"

Measurements:
Card Base 5.5 in.5 in
Card Base 5.5 in. X 8.5 in.
Score and fold at 4.25 in. (This makes card for a 2A envelope)

Hair: E25, E29, E31
Dress: B000, B00
Card Stock Cryogen White, GKD Pure Ivory,
Ink : Memento Black, Summer Sky
Tools: Scor-Pal or Scor-Buddy, Paper Cutter (I use Fiskars), Scissors (Tim Holtz helps reduce pain for those with arthritis!), Quickie Glue Pen, Adhesive,large sponge daubers, Spellbinders Nestabilities Petite Large Oval

Tip of the Day: Try coloring white with your Copic markers and then just add one coor to allow the picture to "pop".

My second card was created from a stamp called "Willow with Lantern". I sketched the veil freehand and colored with B000 and B00 and then used stickles.

Tip: You can add interest to your images by drawing details freehand with Copic Multiliners. You can sketch with a pencil and then use your Copic Multiliner. Erase your pencil marks and you are ready to color.

Thank you for stopping by. Please come back soon!

Hugs,
Marie
