Copic Tutorial: Background- Inside the window

Hola!

Today we finish up the coloring!!

By adding some color to the inside of the house, through the window!

These are the combos I used!  

I wanted them to be light. 

So I tried light aquas, light greens and yellows

This is my favorite combo!!

Here I used the BG teens. I think its a bit too dark for my liking, 

which is why  tried BG 70 and 72 next. 

But that was not the look I wanted.

Here I am trying some light yellow and light green.

Took a while to get to this tone, but I like it!

Another look at all of them together!

Which one is your favorite background?

Come back tomorrow if you want to see the cards!!

All of them will be assembled for you to enjoy!

Gracias!

Copic Tutorial: Tones of Purple and a Blue

Hola!

Today I am coloring the curtain using tones of purple!

Yesssss!!

Here are the color combos I chose:

The V-teens are cute as well.

I love the V00's - They are happy and bright!

This one is a darker combo. That BV08 is a deep purple.

I had to try my hand at a blue - and I loved it.

This is probably my most favorite Blue combo B20's .

This was a quick and easy post,

just to compare different purples.

Hope you enjoyed it!

See you tomorrow!!

Copic Tutorial: Tones of GREEN

Hola!!

Todays tutorial is comprised of tones of greens!

I used the same tones of E-40 shown here to color the stem and the acorn!

So we will be coloring the leaves on the pumpkins!

Here are the four combos!

I really like the vibrancy G14 brings to this combo!

These are the olive green tones, I like how regal they look!

I hope you liked the tones of GREENS!!

Next up:  Tones of purple for the curtains and maybe a little blue!

Copic Tutorial: Tons of Orange

Hola!!

I am back to share with you a few color combinations 

which you may find useful during this fall season!

Todays colors: ORANGE

I have three favorite colors...orange is one of them!

Here are the combos I used on my pumpkins!

This is my lightest combo.
I chose not to use a darker color like E-09 to accentuate the shadows

I wanted to try a little bit more yellow on my pumpkin.

The last two color combos look exactly the same.

I love them both.

I like the darker tones of orange with a hint of yellow.

I hope you found a combo you liked best!

Enjoy...next tones of GREEN!!

Copic Tutorial: Tones of Browns

Hola!!!

Although I have been dabbing into watercolors 

my love lies with COPIC MARKERS!

But I haven't used my Copics since June...GASP!!!

Top left: E-30s combo & Top right: E-50s combo

Bottom Left: E-20's combo & Bottom right: E-teens combo

So today, I wanted to re-aclimate myself with them

while coloring for my Card Exchange: Fall Theme

This is a four-day series, in which we will 

experiment with different tones to find out 

with one goes better with what.

Todays colors: BROWNS!!!

Stamp set used: SU Window on the World

First set are the E-teens!

E-teens!

The teens was an unexpected surprise - 

I like the tones of red or orange coming through! 

E-Twentys

E-thirtys

I have always liked the E-30's I think they look like caramel...

and there is nothing wrong with caramel!

E-fiftys

I hope you enjoyed finding out

how different these tones of Brown can be!

Which one is your favorite?

I hope you enjoyed it!

Stay tuned for tones of orange next!!!

Fall Card Design 2

Hola...

This is the second card I created for my Card Group Exchange - "Fall Theme".

I used watercolor paper this time!

Background:

To create the background I started with a 5"x7" Watercolor paper.

I used watercolor markers and scribbled the markers on plastic paper

Spritzed it with water.

And brought my watercolor paper to it.

I squished my paper to ensure proper transfer  of the watercolor.

I realized I loved it so decided to split the background in half and create two cards!

Card 2 for today, same colors but slightly different. This one has less yellow, almost none.

This is the second card I made of this design. Very similar.

The Front of the card:
I am working on some wedding invitations, 
and had to ensure the paper I purchased was 8.5" x 11"
So I trimmed the papers to ensure the proper dimensions.
The little papers I had left over looked like sprigs, 
so I decided to use them here.
Tied them with hem and voila!

I also stamped the inside of the card!

Other goodies used:

Stamp Set: SU Truly Grateful

NUVO Drops: 

Dandelion Yellow 

Strawberry Coulis

Black

Paper: SU Calypso Coral

Ink: SU Crumb Cake

I hope you like it!
