Bright Flowers w/Copics Card

Hello, all!

Today's post is mainly focused on some stamping and Copic coloring. So far, this is one of my favorite cards because of the vivid colors which 'pop' to your eye. Also, I've colored and cut several of the flowers and leaves on a seperate sheet of cardstock and mounted them on foam adhesive. In addition, it can be used for various occasions (birthday, hello, thinking of you, even baby), but in this case, I stamped a 'Thank You' sentiment on it.

P.S. The card base is a navy blue color (you can't see it that well)

As you can tell, I haven't colored much shadow in the flowers, but some of their colors range from dark to light, from the interior, and vice versa.

Copic Sketch Marker colors: R22, R29, R32, YR07, YR04, Y17, Y2, YG03, YG63, B32, B34, V06, V127 & V15
Tip: If some of the color goes outside the lines or you get unwanted colors in places, (inky fingerprints, don't you just hate 'em?) use a white gel pen to hide the mistakes.

Supplies:

• Cardstock: Bazzill COCONUT SWIRL Cardstock (4" x 5.25"), Bazzill MOODY BLUE Cardstock (Card base - 4.25"x 5.5")
• Stamp set/Ink: Stampin' Up! FLOWER FEST Cling Stamps, Hero Arts YEAR ROUND SENTIMENTS Stamp Set,  GRAPHITE BLACK Pigment Ink
• Embellishments/Others: Copic Sketch Markers, Stickles CRYSTAL Glitter Glue, Stickles SILVER Glitter Glue, We R Memory Keepers CORNER CHOMPER

Hope you got some inspiration!

Bright Birds Card

Hello, all!

Today's post is actually a birthday card I made for my mom last week. As you can see, it is a generically themed card which can be used for multiple events. A new technique I used to add a little more 'umph' to the card was using scoring lines in the white space at the top of the card, for which I used my Martha Stewart SCORING BOARD (Tip: Don't press too hard while scoring, or  your card will become flimsy and bend, like mine did.) All of the patterned paper used in this card is from American Crafts COLOR CRUSH 6x6 Paper Pad.

(Inside of card)

 List of Supplies:

• Patterned paper: American Crafts COLOR CRUSH 6x6 Paper Pad
• Cardstock: Bazzill COCONUT SWIRL Cardstock
• Embellishments: Brown ribbon, American Crafts EVERYDAY FABRIC STICKERS (Coordinates perfectly with the patterned paper pad.), Stickles glitter
• Other: Martha Stewart SCORING BOARD

A Very Merry Christmas (With Copics!)

Hello all!

From the title of the post, you may have forseen that this is my very first time (and post) I used Copics. Many papercrafters have been using alcohol-based Copic Sketch Markers and have been loving them, as well, due to their soft blending properties and vivid coverage.

To start off, I ordered a lot of 25 new Copic Markers from Simon Says Stamp and have been enjoying working with them! Today's card happens to be a Christmas card (sooo out of season) and the stamp set  I used is Inkadidnkado CHRISTMAS CHARACTERS.

First off, I cut, scored, and folded a piece of Bazzill CHERRY SPLASH Cardstock. Next, I used VERSAMARK Ink to stamp a subtle background with the snowflakes stamp in the stamp set. After that, I punched and adhered a scalloped edge using the Fisakars SCALLOPED SENTIMENT Edge Punch out of some patterned paper from a BasicGrey NORDIC HOLIDAY 6x6 Paper Pad. Then, I wrapped some brown ribbon on top of the scallop edge.

 For the coloring part, I stamped the image of Santa on some Bazzill COCONUT SWIRL Cardstock (The cardstock seems to work pretty well, but it does bleed htrougn a bit.) using Tsukineko Brilliance GRAPHITE BLACK Ink (I prefer Brilliance over Memento because it's a pigment ink, so the image is sharper. When using Brilliance, be sure to give ample time to dry.). I used the Copic Sketch Markers in the following colors: R29, R32, YG63, YG03, Y17, E02. E11, and, W3. As you can see, I put more layers of color in the same place to add shadow. In addition, I used the Warm Grey No.3 to add shadows on the white as well.

Tip: If some of the color goes outside the lines use a white gel pen to hide the mistakes.

After I finished coloring the image, I used an oval die to die cut the image in a slant using my Sizzix  BIG SHOT and adhered it using dimensional adhesive. Then, on another piece of red cardstock, I stamped the sentiment, once again using VERSAMARK Ink, dusted some Stampendous DETAIL WHITE Embossing Powder, and melted it using a heat gun (I didn't have the patience to wait unti the versamark from the background was dry, so I embossed it on a separate piece). To finish the card off, I punched a heart from the Stampin' Up SMALL HEART Punch out of the same paper from that BasicGrey NORDIC HOLIDAY Paper Pad, adhered it to the card with dimensional adhesive, and added Inkssentials GLOSSY ACCENTS.

Supplies:

• Inkadinkado CHRISTMAS CHARACTERS Stamp Set
• Bazzill CHERRY SPLASH Cardstock
• VERSAMARK Ink
• Fiskars SCALLOPED SENTIMENT Edge Punch
• BasicGrey NORDIC HOLIDAY 6x6 Paper Pad
• Brown Ribbon
• Bazzill COCONUT SWIRL Cardstock
• Tsukineko Brilliance GRAPHITE BLACK Ink
• Copic Sketch Markers
• Oval die
• Sizzix BIG SHOT 
• Stampendous DETAIL WHITE Embossing Powder
• Stampin' Up SMALL HEART Punch
