Today's post has a lot going on! This is my weekly post for the iCopic Blog and also I used a sketch from the Mojo Monday blog to get my layout started! I colored this image quite a while ago and it is one that I use as an example in my Copic classes. I finally turned it into a card! A shabby, vintagey card! I think it nicely illustrates a different way to use your Copic Markers to achieve a soft, glassy feel. This is a super super old stamp from PSX.
Here is the sketch!
Here are the colors that I used – you can see I used very light shades in four different color families. When coloring, I left a lot of white space in the center of the bottles. I did this so that the images would appear see through, just like glass. I used my colorless blender pen extensively to push the color out the back of the paper (see pic below) so that just a very small amount of color was left.
Here is the back side of my image. See that there is more color on the back than on the front!? That is because I kept using my blender pen over and over until I got the effect I wanted.
Are you in love with this seam binding ribbon like I am lately? Ooh La La. I found some keys in my stash and a pretty lavender flower. Then, I dug up some vintagey papers… I have been doing a bit of reorganizing in my craft room and found some good stuff!
Here is a close up of the coloring of the bottles…
For the life of me, I could not get that ribbon, flower and keys to stay put! I had a needle and thread on my craft table left over from another project…so I actually sewed all that stuff right onto the paper! That'll teach it! Hahaha.
And…finally…this card is my entry to the MOXIE FAB Stamping with Markers Challenge!!! I hope you will go on over and check out the post and enter…because…you could win 36 Copic Markers!!! WOO WOO! Have a wonderful day.
