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!

Adiós,

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!!

Adiós,

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!
