Life is better at the beach!

Hi everyone!

Today there's another Wonderful Wednesday at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

It's our weekly challenge wich is always anything goes.

For today I made a card with "At the Beach" background stamp.

You can use it as a background but you can also use it on it's own.

If you are interested in how I coloured this landscape, I've made a YouTube video about that stamp and you can find it HERE.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you'll find some time to play along!

Smile under the tree!

Hi Make it Crafty friends!

I’m still excited about the new images “The funky girls” by Krista Smith. For the card for today I’ve combined an image of the girls with a background. They are perfect together!

 

It’s so awesome that you can use a close up from a digi and that’s what I did with this background. I used the linker part of the “Tree on Hill” digi stamp and  “Carlie with Giraffe” without the giraffe and let her sit under the tree.

Here are the Copic markers I’ve used:

• skin: E04, E11, E00, E000
• hair: Y31, E59, E09, YR14
• sky: B00, B000, B0000

Here's my card featuring the gorgeous Frappe Delight Digi Stamp. I just love her hairstyle so much! Those wavy hairs on one side of her body and in her hand an ice coffee. I first added some pink ink on the white cardstock using a papertowel. The text is from a stampset "One cup at a time" by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Lucky Duck!

Hi everyone!

This was my last post at Copic Marker Europe. 

I really enjoyed to be on the team but it's time for something different now.

I've used the stampset Quackers by SugarPea Designs, they are really cute!

First I stamped the ducks and the plants in brown Memento ink on some colouring cardstock.

Then I mapped out the water with a light blue sky colour B000. I drew some clouds with C1 and added some texture to it using C3.

Then I added some more depth in the clouds using C3 marker again.

Then it's time to fill in the blue between and around the clouds using B00 and B000. I always keep it a little bit lighter around the clouds.

I blended the  blue sky colours together using B000 en B0000

The sky is ready so it's time for colouring the water. I used B60 to map that out and I used B37 to go over the lines in the water.

I blended the harsh line out using B34.

And blended again using B32 and added some marks to look like moving water.

I went over it using B37.

Blended again using B34.

And blended again using B32

Blended everything together using B21 and that is the lightest colour.

Then it was time to colour all the other things, like these plants.

The ducks were awesome to colour.

So here you can see the finished project using Copic markers.

I've added some more light using a white Derwent coloursoft pencil. You can do it with any white colourpencil. I also added some white highlights using the Copic Opaque White paint, that finished the colouring.

And here you can see the finished card:

All the colours I've used:

sky: B00, B000, B0000

clouds: C3, C1

water: B60, B37, B34, B32, B21 (+ white colourpencil and Copic opaque white)

ducks: Y17, Y15, Y11/ YR07, YR04, YR02,  YR00

green: G28, YG17, YG13, YG11

pink: RV17, RV55, RV52

brown: YR21, YR23, E37, E35

Thanks for your visit!
