Day 12. Bringing Out The Copics Today

Helloooo it’s me again. Are you ready for some more coloring?

These adorable stamps and die cuts were laying on my desk just begging to be colored and it’s been awhile since my copics have had any love.

The stamps and dies are from Gina K. Designs and hey are called “Sending Liama Love” and “Stuck On You” . How could I resist.

I love coloring twine to match my project and adding that little fluff of a bow on something.

This photo keeps turning when I upload it!  When coloring animals I love to mix grey, brown and beige. The copic blending solution with the rag was perfect to add more texture on the liama.

Cacti are fun to experiment using different colors.

When I was finished I added a little of that blending solution with my small rag.

This is a fun color combo.

I wanted to show you how I stacked these images for more interest.

On the largest cactus I added double foam tape on the back.

I stamped a background and colored it quickly because I knew I would be adding vellum on top.

Lots of micro white dots and dots on dots with a white gel pen, a sharpie marker and I was finished.

Everyday I am so grateful for your visit. See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

    I just ordered some thick vellum because I love your idea of softening the background but having color. Great idea. Love the colorless blender on a cloth. I do this too. I have a small piece of denim and use it for pant texture so they look like they are wearing denim. I love your coloring on the cactus and the awesome llama . Your cards are always so inspiring .

    I love how you made it 3 D looking with your die cutter. I wish I had one. The colors make it look so southwest looking, like the time I went to AZ to visit my aunt ad uncle. I love this one but the again I love everything that you do. Today I got to work on a Christmas card. Hey, it’s never to late to start on them. It has a lot of coloring on it. Thanks for showing us your colorful card. I love it!
