Copictopia Design Team - At Ease

  


Hi. Heather again. Today I'm working with this super cute turtle from the At Ease collection. I love his little smiley face!

I coloured him with greens, but more in the khaki green range with a hint of light green towards the centre of his face. His shell I tried a few different colours but liked the end result of these mauve colours.


To do the background I printed another image onto another piece of paper to create a mask for my coloured turtle. I then very gently sprayed with a Tiffany Blue spray and a Sheer Shimmer Spray. I then carefully removed my mask and dried my cardfront. once dry I used a black pen to draw in the scribble border and touch up the title where it needed it.

Copics used:
G24, YG03, YG11
E44, E43, E41
V28, V25, V22, B63

Copictopia Design Team - Flounderin Around

 


Hi. Heather here. I've been playing with these super cute images from the Flounderin Around set in the April pre-order. 

I loved the teal and pinky/purple colours for this mermaid, they are a great pop of colour, they blend nicely, and are just so girly and feminine.



The fish have been done in a blue and a pop of yellow to give a bit of a contrast to what was already happening on the card.

The background was done on my gel plate using distress oxide inks and was just spraying with a little bit of water the ink that was left over from previous lifts. It gave this great mottled effect which I thought was great for an underwater effect without being obviously water. I've also added a circle die cut with some silver glitter cardstock to add some bling and water shine.


Copics used:
SKIN - E11, E21, E00, E000, R20
EYES - B45, G24
TAIL - BG49, BG45, BG23, BG11
HAIR - RV66, V05, RV63
TOP - Y35, Y15, Y13
FISH - B45, B21, B000, Y38, Y17, Y15






Thank You.
Heather

Copictopia Design Team - Mummy Mona

 


 Good morning. 

When I saw this stamp from Copictopia, I knew exactly what the end product would look like straight away. I love it when a product does that!!

 


 I knew that the front of the card would be a dirty cream colour to look like old bandages, I even tucked in some medical gauze that I added ink to. So Mummy Mona had to be a bright colour, and what brighter than red??

The background was done using strips of cream cardstock layered at different angles with medical gauze tucked in.



Copic markers used were: E21, E11, E00, E000, E44, E43, E42, E41, B21, G21, R29, R27, R43, RV25, R43, R21, W3, W2, W1, W0, 0

Copictopia Creative Design Team - New Arrival Stamp Set

 



 Good morning all. I'm very excited to share my very first project for Copictopia Creative's Design Team. They are a relatively new company based in North Carolina USA, and have some very cute images perfect for coloring, which is one of my favourite crafty things to do.

 I have used the New Arrival Elephants Clear Stamp Set and have added some flowers from the Bunny Trail Stamp Set.

I really haven't done anything to the card to decorate it other than add the images, as they were so soft and pretty I didn't want anything to distract from them. I have colored them using soft greys, pinks and yellows. The flowers I have molded a little to give some dimension. Then simply matted on some black cardstock to give it a frame.

The card dimensions are:

DL Card

Black Matt - 7.5" (wide) x 3.75" (tall)

Card Front - 7.25" x 3.5"


 I tend to use foam tape on my projects to give height, but if you are putting your cards in the post, they can very easily just be attached using glue or double sided tape. When wrapping presents I use brown paper, or a very neutral colored paper, then use my card as the "bow" or pop of color on top, that way I don't need to worry about how to get my cards with height and accessories in an envelope.

COPIC COLOURS:

Elephant - C3, C2, C1, C0, 0 

Pinks - R22, R20, R00, Y00

Yellows - Y08, 706, 700
