Day 5. Cool Background

Hello Friends!! How was your weekend? Looks like you all have been getting your coloring on. Woo hooo!!

Today was the last day of Jennifer Dove’s Copic Boot Camp and I can’t wait to film a video to share a few of Jennifer’s tips. With that said in my post tomorrow I will tell you more about Jennifer’s class and when her next Copic Boot Camp boot is. (Hoping I have wifi on the airplane.)

This adorable fox is from the stamp set called, “Feelin Foxy” from Honey Bee stamps and I was so delighted to color this image in class. Apparently Jennifer Dove loves her Copic blending solution as much as I do lol.

We practiced the rag technique that I use all the time on this fox and for different elements on parts of this background.

It was so rewarding to see this background come together and I am so inspired to think more out of the box.

Thanks for letting me share and I so appreciate your visit today. See you tomorrow! Hugs, Kathy

    Oh my Kathy, this is fabulous. I love how you used the rag technique in your background and the gorgeous fox. I am already curious to hear what tips you learned ( and didn’t know yet) and see how you use that for your colouring.
    Wonder if the tips also can be used with other colouring medium, we shall see or hear.
    Thanks for your post, have a nice flight home, take a good nap (LOL) and see/hear you tomorrow.

    I love your fox! I love how it looks, the coloring, the background, I love it all! The colors are great & just how a fox & that background should look. Sometimes I do it exact & then other times I like to have a little fun & do it a color that it shouldn’t be but in my world it could be. Sometimes I think people wonder if I’ve gone a little nuts but I just think that’s called being creative & boy can I be creative when I want to!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      November 7, 2018 at 3:44 pm

      Thank you, Gail! Yes, it’s all about having fun, isn’t it?

    Well sounds like you had tons of fun & lots of inspiration on this course, so glad you for lots out of it. Your fox looks cute but you lost me on the name of the technique, looking forward to getting a mini class off you on it.
    The way you rave about Jenifer to us is how we rave about you & your abilities to get us colouring better, never put yourself down the list your fabulous & I have learnt so much from you in the twelve months I have started crafting .
