Happy Monday! I was cleaning up my craft area yesterday and found this chart and decided to have some fun coloring it in. I can't remember if this was one I shared before or not but here it is. These are the starter colors that Copic Instructor Colleen Schaan recommends. This color palette is a nice set of basic color combinations. I like to have lots of options when I am trying to find combos to match all the different patterned paper I am hoarding. I generally start a card by selecting the papers I want to use first and then coloring the image to match and these charts come in handy for that. I have included a blank copy below that you can probably print and play with. If the blank copy does not print well for you, leave me a comment so that I can try attaching it a different way.

Hello everyone! It's Vili here today and I want to show you my way of making deep contrasting folds. As you've may already noticed I use from really dark to really light shades. I colour pretty confidently without worrying for the final result. I chose Mo's Alisa With Roses because her dress is suitable for my aims. I coloured the skin. the hair and the basket beforehand and now I'm starting with the detailed explanations: I'm thinking of making the dress in the pink-purple range so I chose these colours: I always start with the lightest colour in order to 'wet' the place I'm colouring: After that I mark the places where the folds are with the darkest colour: I continue with a lighter tone: And a lighter one: With the lightest colour I fill the most protruding sections: If I think a place should become lighter, I slightly touch it with the Colorless Blender. These are mostly the sectors with many folds, like the one around the waist: After I have finished colouring the picture I put a contour. Here I don't mind about the direction of light and don't look for the places with the most thick shadows. I try to make the picture look more contrasting on the main background. I place contour all around the image: I put in some darker tones: Then comes a careful 'washing' of the two colours with the lightest grey: And the picture is ready: And this is the card which I made with this image: Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!

Last week Tim Holtz announced another brand new color for the Distress family! Crackling Campfire is a gorgeous red orange shade that fits perfectly into the Distress family of colors. It’s the color we never knew we needed until we saw it! Today I have four new #KristinasOxideCombos for you all! Enjoy! NOTE: A big

Check your mirrors, I feel a U-turn coming along! Conversation with my downline Donna last week: Me: I don’t like the new In Colors. Donna: You will. Yes, I confess that when I first saw the new In Colors, I was underwhelmed. I thought they were ugly and, worse, didn’t even go with each other. Surely the whole point of a colour collection is that they go together well? “Bang on trend?” I think not (cos I’m an expert, you know). And off I hurtled, full speed ahead in the direction of “In Color Rejection”. But you can’t keep forging forwards without looking out of your side windows occasionally, and I kept seeing fabulous creations made by more organised demonstrators who have actually started using their pre-order items, instead of just looking at them. Then I received a press release at work about the hot new colour for interiors… mint. “Hmmmm…” I thought, stroking my beard (must deal with that). Despite my misgivings, I decided to do my now-annual colour combination charts, suggesting ways to team up the new colours with those from our existing range. In the interests of honesty, I confess that I was largely motivated by the fact that last year’s post went - in All Things Stampy terms at least - “viral”, giving me loads of blog hits and Pinterest re-pins. So I did some research, to check out what goes with these “hideous new colours” and, first surprise: these colours ARE bang on trend. That mint press release was right, of course. And what’s even more on trend than mint on its own? Mint with mustard… mint with watermelon… mint with taupe… you get the idea. Naturally, the more I paired them up with other colours, the more I grew to love them. Tip Top Taupe was a doddle - it goes with absolutely everything. In fact, I was tempted simply to copy a previous chart and just change the first column to Tip Top Taupe, but decided that would be lazy. Mint Macaron is another - so pale as to be almost neutral, you can team this up with whatever you like. Anyway… enough waffling about my oh-so-predictable U-turn, here are the charts. They are sized so you can print two to a sheet of A4, cut in half vertically, should you wish. All I ask is that you leave on my blog details and that you pronounce “Mint Macaron” correctly. Which is Mint MacarOn, not OOn. That would have two Os. Exaggerated French accent optional. PS: Amended the Watermelon Wonder chart to replace Certainly Celery (long retired) with Pear Pizzazz. Thanks to Judy C for spotting and discreetly letting me know! PPS: Updated Delightful Dijon chart because I spotted a duplicate. PPPS: Thanks to Jean Fitch for spotting a mistake on the Dijon chart - fixed now. (This is why you should never proof-read your own copy!)

Copic Design Team Member Sharon Harnist joins us today to show us a Copic Marker coloring tutorial - flick feathering or feather blending. 1. Start the stroke at the bottom (or edge of your stamped flower line) and flick the marker upward. You should have more pressure on the marker at the beginning of the stroke and then less pressure as you near the end of the stroke, so there is less (or narrower) color towards the top of your stroke. You can vary the “broadness” of your stroke (and color intensity) by how much pressure you place on the...

Hey card making friends, welcome back. Today I have a new Distress Oxide Ink Blends Fall Colors for you and a card I created using the Unity Stamps Aging Gorgeously Stamp Set. I was messing around with some fall colors to create a new background and came up with this one. Fossilized Amber, Spiced

Decided last night I better whip up a new color combo since I didn't have any planned posts. So how about a couple of reds. First is R59 R46 R43 This one is R89 R39 R29 I can't say as I have used either of these before. But I'm liking both. If I spent more time fiddling with the blending they would be great. I hope your keeping up on your swatch book! If your coloring along with me you can grab this cute Krista Smith image HERE. Krista had it as a freebie for Breast Cancer Awareness. I erased the logo before printing so I wouldn't have to worry about coloring over it. Thanks for stopping in. Have a Great Day!

Hello blogging friends and Happy Friday! Not too long ago Bazzill contacted me to see if I would like to try out some of their New Cardstock--Card Shoppe. Card Shoppe is a New cardstock that is perfect for card makers and paper crafters. It is smooth, heavy-weight (100 lbs), and folds with a crisp edge. It is prefect to use with Copic markers and it won't warp when using mists. Card Shoppe is available in 28 coordinating colors in 8.5 x 11 sheets. **NOTE--The Bazzill Basic Paper website has been doing some maintenance and once everything is up and going I will come back and add in all of the direct links. ;-) Over the next few weeks I will be sharing several projects with you using the Card Shoppe papers. Bazzill was very generous to send and extra paper pack so I will be having a fun give-away in the next couple of weeks too! So be sure to Follow, Subscribe or check back ofter--you won't want to miss out on this great prize!! Here is the card I designed using the Card Shoppe papers. I wanted to try a few different techniques with the paper just so I could see how it would hold up and the paper is Fantastic!! I did stamping, coloring with Copic markers, die cutting, embossing and paper shaping. To start I used Rich Cocoa ink and stamped the image on to Marshmallow (white) cardstock. Then I started to add color using Copic markers. I used four shades of blue for the flowers. Next I used two shades of green Copic markers to color the leaves. Sorry, but I forgot to take a picture of the bow after I colored it but I used three shades of pink to color the bow. I used S4-356 Floral Ovals die template to create the die cut. I wanted to air brush on the inside of the die cut so I left the die template in place and created a mask to put over the floral image. I used a yellow marker on the inside of the oval and a blue marker for the flowers on the outer edge. After die cutting, air brushing and removing the mask this is what the die cut looks like. Next I used Gumdrop (green) paper and S4-328 Foliage die templates to cut/emboss some leaves and then I used a green Copic marker to airbrush them. For the little flowers Icy Mint (lt. blue) Card Shoppe paper and two of the flower die templates from S5-089 Home Sweet Home. To shape the flowers and leaves I used a larger ball stylus and a foam pad. Here is a close up of the colored image and the die cut oval and flowers. I added Pearls for flower center and Diamond Clear Glitter to the flowers and leaves. The Pearls and Diamond Clear Glitter are both from The Rubber Cafe'. I added some May Arts Ribbon Sample Delicate Vintage Lace and May Arts 1/4'' Fuchsia Silk Ribbon from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. For the embossed background I used Icy Mint (lt. blue) Card Shoppe paper and EL-002 Regal M-Bossabilities Folder from Spellbinders. For the card base I used Gumball (med.blue) Card Shoppe paper. This is my first card using the Card Shoppe paper from Bazzill but I really like working with the papers. They are nice and smooth, work great with Copics and die cut and emboss beautifully! I am looking forward to creating more projects and trying more techniques with the Card Shoppe papers. Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a Wonderful Friday!!
