Copictopia Design Team - Gifts Galore Meadow

 

Hi. Heather here. We all need birthday cards again at the beginning of each year, and I loved this image, it was great for birthday or Christmas cards.

I kept "Meadow" very soft and pretty with the soft pinks and soft brown hair. This left me plenty of colours to play with for the gifts. I will say that I cheated and used a gold gel pen for the ribbon on 2 of the gifts. It gave the card a bit of bling as well.

The background was done using Distress Oxides, Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac. Simply just blended on to the card using a blending tool. Then lightly spritzed with water, allowing some larger drops, then leaving for about 10 seconds then blotting with a paper towel to remove the water and leave the water drop effect on the card.

I then ran it through my Big Shot with the Happy Birthday die, then attached the card front (4"x5.75") to my card. Meadow was fussy cut out and attached to the card using foam dots.

The card was then finished by adding a bit more bling by using the clear diamantes.

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

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. 

https://bit.ly/April2024Release

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

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

My Favourite Colour Is Rainbow - Dusty Attic Design Team

 Good morning

I had so much fun creating these projects. I had paint everywhere!!

I started with the DA3621 Circular Picture Pie - Circular picture pie – Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business as my design idea, both as a template and as a chipboard piece.

I have used it as a template only on a art journal page, and then as a template then a chipboard piece on a scrapbook page.

The base of both the journal page and the scrapbook page I have used 3 soft colours and a large paint brush to softly add to the page. I have then used 3 different stencils and the same colour paints to stencil over the top.

DA1473 Bubbles Stencil - Bubbles Stencil – Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business

DA2662 Flourish Stencil - Flourish Stencil – Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business

I have then used the Circular Picture Pie Chipboard as a template to trace around on both the journal page and scrapbook page to create a colour wheel base.

I have then chosen my paint colours and applied to create the colour wheel.

Over the top of both I have used a more pastel version of each colour and the DA3601 Paintbrush Stencil - Paintbrush Stencil – Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business

To finish off the Art Journal Page I used a large black Posca Pen to write the title and highlighted with a white gel pen.

To finish of the scrapbook page I attached the Circular Picture Pie Chipboard using clear drying glue. I then used Posca pens to paint the "My Favourite Colour is Rainbow" title as well as the rainbow and clouds. These were all then attached using clear drying glue.

Good Times with Great Friends - Dusty Attic Design Team

 Good morning

Today I have done this fairly simply layout for you. I loved the pop from the papers, so I didn't want to add too much to take away from them.

A few months ago I spent a night in Sydney with a couple of good friends and we went and saw the musical Wicked. It was amazing!! We all have birthdays in the same month, so it has become a bit of a birthday tradition each year.

I started with these papers that were black and white with this pop of teal/green colour in them.

I then use the large (12"X12") circle stencil and some glitter texture paste to create a layer in the background. This reminded me of the metal circle cage that Glinda was in during the show.

Circle Dot Stencil - DA2625  - Circle Dot Stencil – Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business

I then layered different sheets of paper in different directions to give some depth.

The music notes I painted with black paint, then sprayed with some shimmer spray, then added some gold Posca Pen to the music notes.

The masks again I painted black and then sprayed with gold spray.

Drama Masks – DA0696 - Drama Masks – Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business

The title I very simply used a teal Posca pen, then a little bit of white gel pen on the edge of each of the capital letters.

I then finished off my page by adding the badge that they were handing out at the show.
