Side Step Card Christmas Card

Colour Me Untraditional

Hi Copic fans!!

Thursday again that means it's my turn to inspire you to reach for your Copics and create yourself something fabulous.

The current challenge here on the Mad For Markers Challenge Blog is to create a Christmas Card - using copics to colour with non-traditional Christmas colours.

I am so excited to see all the fabulous cards already submitted. You guys are amazing!! If you haven't  checked them out yet you should, and there is still plenty of time for you to get your markers out and join in the fun.

For my card this week I have gone with one of Kenny K's fantastic images "Mistletoe"

The basic colour combo I have used is Brown, Blue an Green (there's a bit of orange in there too :-D ).

I've used a my Peach Spica Pen to add a little shimmer to the trim of her jacket and boots. Here's a photo to hopefully show it up a bit better.

Copics I have used for this image are:

Skin - E000, E00, E11 and R20

Hair - Y26, Y21, C1 and C3

Clothes and Boots - B91, B93, B97, (E53, E25 and Peach Spica Pen for trim)

Holly - B93, Y13 and R46

I also used E29 to colour the clear rhinestones for the corners.

I look forward to see your non traditionally coloured Christmas card!!

M4M Colourful Christmas

Hi Scrapper's!

Hope your week is going well so far and that your all getting lots of scrapping done including a card for our "Non Traditional Christmas Colours" Challenge :o) Below is a card I made for this challenge.

I have used a Magnolia stamp (my favourite stamps lol) and some very cute colourful papers from Cosmo Cricket. I made the snowflakes too, so head over to my blog if you want more detail on those HERE.

I have tried to use some blue/green and pink Copics to match the pinks and blues on the paper. All the marker's I have used on this image can been seen in the pic below.

I hope this card provides some inspiration for your own "Non Traditional Christmas Colour" cards. And I think this challenge is a great way to help us finish off those few extra christmas cards we need for the holiday season.

Remember to head over to Mad for Marker's online store for all your Copic requirements. I know I have been getting alot of refills lately lol. I do love my Copic's lol, yes I am a addict :o)

Thanks for visiting and take care xo

Hi Copic Lovers,

Its Alicia here.  

This morning I have another Christmas card in untraditional colours.

I am actually making some head way with my Chrissie cards...but havent started my main bulk lot yet...I like all of them to be exactly the same.  These ones will be perfect to send out to the schools I have been teaching at this term.  Anyway onto the details about my card...

I coloured in another Cute LOTV Christmas bear...I have really fallen in love with these bears.  because of my DP (very, very old and was the last little bit of it) is all cool silvers and blues I didnt want to colour the bear brown so I opted for greys.  I actually love colouring with greys.  They blend so nicely together.

The colours I used are:

Greys: C-1, C-3, C-5, C-7

Blues for hat: BG09, BG05, B00

Star and ground: B60, BV23

Outline: BG10
Kindy Glitz

I cut the snowflakes out on my Cricut and covered them with Kindy Glitz as well.  I added silver, white, blue gingham and white mesh ribbons.  The base card is Next to Navy and Whisper White.  I kept the design pretty simple.

Have you entered the Mad for Markers Christmas Card challenge yet?  See what you can pull out from your stash to come up with something in untraditional colours...it is quite interesting and fun!  Link up your creations here so we can all come around and visit you.

Pop on over to Sammi's M4M store to add to your Copic collection or begin your collection...you won't be disappointed you did.  Copic markers are so beautiful to colour with.  They just glide onto the paper and leave such vibrant colours on your card.


Thanks for stopping by,
Alicia xx

Waiting For Santa

Morning all Copic Lovers.

Today I have a very sweet girl to share with you all. We are continuing with our challenge this month of making a Christmas card with non traditional colours. I have gone waaaayyyy out of left feild and used orange and olive green.

I believe there is no reason why you can't make any colours into Christmas colours. I have also used some really basic papers to match my colour scheme rather than using Chrsitmas papers.

The stamp I have used is a gorgeous Penny Johnson stamp called Sweet Dreams.

I have found a little wreath which I have added some holly to and some hanging baubles.

I also added a beautiful Chrstmas Tree from Scrap Matts.

Copics;

Nightdress; YG91, YG93, YG95, YG99.

Stars; B12.

Moon; Y11.

Candle; YR0000, YR00, Gold Spica.

Skin; E00. E01.

Sash; YR14, YR16.

Hair; E35, E37, E47.

Make sure you checvk out my blog for some more photos. Also check the other Design Team members for some great inspiration for this wonderful challenge.
