Viking : Monochrome Coloring with Neutral Grey (N)

Hello,

Today I have prepared a cool Viking card,

I love to make male cards and I just love this stamp set called:

 Vailant Vikings by Kraftin Kimmie Stamps.

I have chosen my Neutral Grey sketch markers to do some monochromatic coloring ( monotone coloring ).

With some wicked black hybrid ink I have stamped the Viking onto Perfect Copic Colouring Paper.

First I have added a layer of N 0 on the helmet. Later I have added darker  N shades and have blended them.

With the N Copic sketch markers I continue to colour the Viking stamp, even the skin was coloured with the N Copic.

Please find the complete step by step ( short )  video to see how I have used the colours. 

Hope you have enjoyed the video.

Isn't this sentiment hilarious too!?

I am sure it will be fun to see the face of the receiver of this card.

I have used some black and white papers, and with some nesting dies from Crealies 

I have cut the Perfect colouring Paper into a shape with a stitched border and a glitter card stock layer too..

Copic :

N 0, N 1, N 3, N 4, N 5, N 7, N 10

Thanks for your visit, see you soon with a new post.

For You | Anti-stress Copic Doodling with Video

Hello,

How are you? A little stressed?

Today I am sharing a new anti stress doodling with my Copic, highly recommendable!

I have started with a piece of Perfect Colouring Paper a stencil from Kraftin Kimmiestamps (kaleidoscope) and a black Copic multiliner 0.3.

I have traced some of the circles. This design will just be my guideline.

Here you can see the shapes I have traced from the stencil, now I have started to add Copic colors and connect the shapes with doodles.

Just relaxing.. no thinking ..

I have picked some blue greens and yellow greens and to give it a pop also some fluorescent colors,

see list below.

I have made a little video for you.

And did you like the video?

Fun to see what effects you create with two multiliners and little Copic marker.

And some dots with a white gelly roll pen.

I have glued the design onto a black card ,

The fishtail die is from My Favorite Things

The text was cut out of foam with a die from Modascrap.

I like the contrast..end result a card and I am totally relaxed too :).

Copic:

Wryn Rock Slimline Shaker Card

Hi all,

Are you ready for a new post?

Today I am showing my new slimline shaker card with this fun digital stamp from Tiddly Inks, called Wryn the rocker.

I have printed the digi onto Perfect Colouring paper and have started colouring...

inspired by my own little rocker in the house.

Skin : E00, E11, E04, R20, R22

Hair : YR21, YR12, E23, E57, E59

Skirt : B05, B28, B39

Shirt& stockings : BG23, BG49, BG78

Boots : E29, E18, E08

Guitar : E97, E99, N8, N10

The image was ready to be fussy cut ...

Behind the image I have added a rotating mechanism. This die is fun as you do not have anything popping out on the other side 

 Time to assemble to whole card..

I have cut a piece of white cardstock (17 x 21cm) and scored it on 8.5 cm to create the card base .

The slimline die was cut twice, one time out of special cardstock, and one time out of foam.

I have put a piece of acetate in between ..in this way the shaker was easy to create.

I have passed  a anti static pouch onto the acetate ..just to make sure not everything sticks to the acetate.

Slim postage die : Whimsy 

Musical notes : Marianne Design

Letters : I -crafters 

Stitched rectangle : MFT 

Rotating mechanism : Impronte D'autore 

When you move the shaker, the mini pearls and mini musical notes diecuts will move..

And if you touch the coloured image it seems she is a real rocker that moves forward and backwards.

The letters were cut out of blue green foam and black card stock.

Hope you have enjoyed my "rocker" post..see you next post! 

Thanks for visiting the blog.

A special mixed media gift midori & card

Hi all Copic friends,

How are you?

Here in Italy we still have to stay at home so I have done a lot of colouring lately :) 

and have tried new things too. Today I show you one of these "new"  things.

I have a fun die from Studiolight to make booklets/album or midori, instead of leather for the cover  I wanted to try something different .

So I have used the Transotype Synthetic Paper !!

With the die I have cut the shape

+

On the TSP I have used a pretty butterfly stencil from Kraftin Kimmie and with a spatula I have added some glitterpaste. ( Ferrario -  malta glitter iridescent ).

After drying I have played around with some Various inks ( refills ), just let drops of ink and blender fall on the TSP  and with a little tool I have blow the ink. You could also use a hairdryer ( cool air ).

this was the result

When everything was dry I have added some paper on the outside and inside, ribbons and an elastic cord to keep everthing together.

It almost looks like a little purse , doesn't it? 

Please watch the video to see the rest....

Copic used :

Refills ( Various Ink ) : V 12, E 70, RV 10, R 81, blender "0"

Love Bugs...

Hi all,

A New Year has started ...

so I thought why don't we start 2020 with a little love?

I have coloured up some of the the brand  new stamps from Kraftin Kimmie,

I love this " Love bugs " set as it has many different images and some fun sentiments too..

To use several images together I have  masked some stamps to create various layers,

just a little reminder  when you are masking stamps  the first stamped image will actually be the one in the front at the end.

So that means that these ladybirds and the big flower (my first stamped images) will be in the front of all the later stamped images in the end.

You will need :

 Perfect Colouring paper, masking tape and stamps...

this is during the masking...

This is during the colouring of the flowers

Below you can watch my video from the start until the finished card,

step by step.

Ice Christmas Penguin Scene Card & Video

Hello all,

Today I have a Christmas card for you..with lot of ice.

I hope it might be useful for all Copic card makers among us. 

First of all I have printed the sweet and oh so cute digital stamp

called  "Ice Christmas" from LOTV  onto transotype Perfect Colouring Paper .

Here it is ,

now let's start to colour...

I have started with the lightest colour B0000.

After having coloured the ice blocks I thought it was fun to draw an icy background too.

I am not an expert but it is great to try new techniques right? 

And practice is always the key.. It was such fun to do too ! 

Of course the cute penguin needed some colour too.

Below you can find the colouring video,

step by step to give an idea how I have created this card.

Was it clear?

It takes quite a lot of time to create videos but if they are helpful for you it is all worth it.
