T is for ???

Good morning everyone!   My friend Lisa at You Made Me Ink  is a design team member at Tip Top Tuesday Challenge and her fabulous card inspired me to participate in this fun challenge.  Drum roll... the challenge is   "T is for ???"   Yes be creative.  Anything with "T" goes.  What can be more fun than that?

Color Me Creative Challenge #21 FOLDS!

Hello to all my wonderful cyber friends!   Color Me Creative Challenge # 21  is coloring folds, pleats or ruffles and will run until July 8th!  Get out those Copic Markers and have some fun!   Our fabulous sponsor is  Tiddly Inks.    Christy Croll is the artist and owner and she has a mega selection of super cute images to check out.  The Prize for the winner of this challenge (randomly chosen) will get:
A $20 Gift Certificate to spend at Tiddly Inks thanks to Christy!!

I selected a wonderful image from Tiddly Inks  for my CMC DT card called "You and Me Baby"


 Click image to enlarge



Technique:
  • Copic Markers   (My consuming addiction!)    LOL
  • Folds:  The image did not have folds that jumped out at you so I enhanced them using the technique for coloring folds in Suzann
Personal Challenge:    I want to experiment with shading and definition and  make my "black" more interesting.  Marianne Walker has a book called Shadows & Shading   that can be found HERE    In her book, Marianne states that very little in this world is truly black.   You may notice that I deviated from just using my "C" Copic markers and  I added some blue to the coat of our cute little man !!!  It was fun and I think I will try to do this more and more often! 


    Measurements:
    Card Base 5.5 in. X 8.5 in.
    Score and fold  at  4.25 in.  (This makes card for a 2A envelope)
    Card Base Layer  4 in. X 5.25 in.
    Card Top Layer 3.75 in. X  5 in.
    Focal  Image cut with Small/Large  Petite Oval Nestabilities
    Focal  Base layer  cut with Small/Large Petite Oval Nestabilities

    Supplies:
    Focal Image:  Tiddly Inks Digital   “You And Me Baby”

    Paper:  Cryogen for focal image, GKD Pure Luxury White and In the Navy  and some super cool designer paper

    Copic Markers:
    Skin:  YR0000, YR000, E00, E02  R20
    Hair:   E40, E41, E43 and E30, E33, E35, E37
    Dress:   R0000, R000, R21, Colorless Blender

    Ink : Memento  “Tuxedo Black” and "Desert Sand"

    Tools: Scor-Pal or Scor-Buddy, Paper Cutter (I use Fiskars), Scissors  (Tim Holtz Tonic scissors are great for people with arthritis and painful joints),  Sponge Daubers,  Pop Dots Cuttlebug, Nestabilities Small/Large Petite Oval
    Embelishments: Pearls, Ribbon

    Click image to enlarge

    Tip of the Day: Using your colorless blender will allow the folds to appear to have more dimension.  It will also bridge colors you may be lacking in your color palate by bridging two color buddies that are more than 2 or 3 shades  different in brightness (that is the last number on your Copic Marker).

    You know I am always a little "excessive" so keeping true to form, I created a second card featuring folds.

     Click image  to enlarge

    Copics: 
    Skin YR 0000, YR000, E00, E02, R20
    Hair:  E40, E41, E43, E44, E31
    Dress BV0000, BV00, BV02, BV04, Colorless Blender, BV08

     As I said.... this was a lot of fun so I took myself to Michaels and  found a book on Drawing People  by Barbara Bradley  .......  a 101 class!   Yes I know,,, I made her butt gigantic!  I guess I need to work on proportion!

    Bella look very vintage so I matted it to enhance the vintage look..

         Click image to enlarge

        Technique : 
        • Copic Markers

        "Missing You" Study in Sepia Tone and Black Tone


        Hello everyone!  I have a few days off and plan to spend some quality time in my art room today and will be enjoying tomorrow at a crafting marathon with wonderful friends!  Great Friends.  Great food.  Crafting all day.   Who could ask for more!  LOL


        As you are  probably aware, I have been taking Copic Classes from Suzanne Dean at  http://scrapbitzcopics.ning.com/   I am on my first lesson for Class 4.  I needed to use the same image for both Sepia Tone  and Black Tone.   I selected one of my very favorite images from Just Inklined -  “Cocker Spanial Pup”.

        I am entering this card in two challenges (I appologize that my link is not working correctly and the URL only shows rather than the name.  I am told that blogger will be fixing that!)

        Sepia Tone using   E40,  E41, E42, E44
        Click image to enlarge
        This is a close-up of the little cutie.

        Technique:  Vintage

        • Copic Black Tone


        Measurements:
        Card Base 5.5 in. X 8.5 in.
        Score and fold  at  4.25 in.  (This makes card for a 2A envelope)
        Base 5.25 in. X 4 in.
        Base layer: 5 in X 3.75 in. 
        Focal Image: Spellbinders Nestabilities Beaded Ovals Die

        Supplies:
        Focal Image:  Digital Image by Just Inklined  “Cocker Spanial Pup”

        Copic Markers:
        Sepia Tone:  E40,  E41, E42, E44
        Black Tone C00, C1, C3, C5, C7

        Card stock :
        Sepia Tone:   Cryogen White,  GKD Pure Luxury  in White,  Pure Luxury Chocolate Kiss,  Kraft  and Designer Paper
        Black tone:  :   Cryogen White,  GKD Pure Luxury  in White,  Pure Luxury  Black Onyx, Moonlit Fog  and Designer Paper

        Ink : Memento Black

        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, Cuttlebug or die cutter,  Spellbinders Nestabilities Beaded Ovals and Cricut,

        Embellishments: Cream Pearl Pen by VIVA, Storybook Cartridge for corner embellishment. You can use the flourish or corner embellishment of your choice.

        Tip 1:  I had a really fabulous tip for you.....   I forgot what it was...   This ole lady can't remember squat!   Well here is another one!   If you have a Cricut or Die Cutter, you can use that for flourishes and save a bundle! 

        Tip 2:  Spellbinders Nestabilities “Beaded Ovals” did not  “nest” as well as I would have liked so I cut two (different colors) and trimmed the beaded portion away, sanded my edges and used the inner oval inside my outer beaded layer.   I discovered the petite or large ovals were a different shape… therefore…. I created my own. Again…. Saving a bundle!

        Only Once in a Lifetime

        Click image to enlarge
        Happy Saturday everyone!  It is time again for Color Me Creative Classroom to have another fabulous challenge. Get out those Copic markers and let's color "brunette" hair! You have two weeks to join in the fun and win some fabulous blog candy!

        For my selection, I am using a wonderful image by Sugar Nellie called "Flora".

        Technique:
        Copic Pastel Effect
        Light Brunette Hair

        Measurements:
        Card Base 5.5 in. X 8.5 in.
        Score and fold at 4.25 in. (This makes card for a 2A envelope)
        Card Base Layer 4 in. X 5.25 in.
        Card Top Layer 3.75 in. X 5 in.
        Focal Image cut with Classic Round Nestabilities
        Focal Base layer cut with Classic Scalloped Nestabilities

        Supplies: Focal Image: Sugar Nellie Digital Stamp “Flora”

        Copic Markers:
        Skin: YR 0000, YR 000, E00 R20
        Dress: BG0000, BG02 and a touch of BG07, Colorless Blender
        Hair: Light Brunette E25, E29, E31
        Flowers: G40, YG03, YG99 (a touch), BV0000, BV11
        Shoes: C5, C3, Colorless Blender
        Halo Effect   Cannot remember but I would not do it again!! LOL

        Embellishments:: Magnolia  Doohickeys and pearls.

        Tip of the Day: "Tip to Tip" method with Copic Markers is a wonderful way to blend.  Touch the lighter color to a darker color and the blending becomes much easier. 


        Skin: YR 0000, YR 000, E00 R20


        The Tip to Tip method can be used with two markers with the same color family or with a colored marker with the colorless blender.  The second method produces a pastel effect.

         Dress: BG0000, BG02 and a touch of BG07, Colorless Blender

        Hair: Light Brunette E25, E29, E31



        I added a YR halo around the image.  I would definitely not use the same color again!  I mounted the image and added pearls and a sentiment.
          
        If you are interested in learning about the different Copic marker techniques - Suzanne Dean offers some fabulous on-line classes  I am on her fourth class at this time.  If interested, you can check out Suzanne's classes  at   http://scrapbitzcopics.ning.com/page/class-room-info

        This is a close up of the focal image.   I sponged the background with Memento ink.   Since the challenge was to "texture" the image,  I used an embossing plate and hand tool and embossed waves into the water and used a gelly pen to accent the wave.  I also elected to add texture byadding twine and  making Franciscan knots.

Oh I hope it's me! Shameful isn't it?... I say with a big smile! One would think it is Christmas in June! They have a challenge using Copic Markers using the "Distressing" technique. Suzanne Dean has an on-line class using this technique at Color Me Creative Classroom. But don't just take my work for it.... Suzanne also has some wonderful video's on Distressing with Copic Markers for free at Copic Creations. Just check out her fabulous tutorials!

        Embelishments: Ribbon from GKD


        Tip of the Day:
        Emboss your focal image layer after you cut it with the die. This will add dimension to the image. Flip it over, place some tape on the back to secure it to the die and then gently sponge the edges with your dauber. This will increase your dimensional look even more!


        I am also totally in love with Sugar Nellie images! I found this wonderful digital image from Funky Kits. I may make another card and enter in a few days. If you would like to enter the Sugar Bowl Challenge.... it can be found HERE.


        Click image to enlarge

        I added the sentiment. Don't you just love these Sugar Nellie images? I think the face on all her images are so adorable.

        Thank you so much for stopping by to see my creations! Please feel free to make my day and make a comment! Come back soon!

        Spring Wonder




        Happy Wednesday to everyone! I have a few days off from work and can hardly wait to hit the art room! The challenge for coloring "feathers" with Copic Markers is still open for participation. Anyone can play along at Color Me Creative Challenge . It's a fun challenge group with 2 challenges & prizes every month to get you using those Copic skills. Come chat with us and have some fun! Click on the GROUPS tab at the top of the CMCC page and then click on the CMC Copic Challenge Group (you do not have to be a student to join us)!!

        And by the way, the new Junior Design team members have been added to our Color Me Creative challenge group. Stop by and check out their bio's and blogs. They are a fabulous group!

        I created a second card for this fun challenge. I named the card Spring wonder. I combined a GKD stamp with a digital stamp from Prairie Fairy Designs.
