Happy Thursday everyone!
Today I'm sharing an adorable new image from High Hopes Rubber Stamps
called Love Birds. I wanted to do a little something that looked
different so I colored this pair of little birds up on Kraft cardstock.
I used Copic's of course but I added a bunch of shading with my Prisma
pencils as well.
I played along with our January OCS Challenge Sketch
with a couple of my own modifications. You can find the Challenge
HERE
This is the 2nd card I have done on Kraft and I have found that when
using my Copics it is best to test the color first. Some colors dry
darker some much lighter than you might think. So I started to create
my own little index card system. I will add to this each time I want to
play with a new color combo. I am using American Craft cardstock and
that is what my index cards are made from. Each brand of cardstock will
react differently to the marker so it is a great idea to find a brand
you like and work with that. This is my index system, at least for now.
Copics I used for this card...
Heart Leaves - BG72, BG71 (I made this color with BG78 & BG72) with Peacock Blue Prisma
Scroll - BG72, BG10 with Aquamarine & Light Aqua Primsa
Left Bird - E97, E95, E93 with Pumpkin Orange Prisma
Right Bird - E41, E42, E43 with Light Umber Prisma
Shading around birds - Yellow Ochre Primsa
Background Shading - Light Aqua Prisma
You can't tell from the picture but I did add a bunch of sparkle to the scroll and leaves with Clear Wink of Stella.
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
