A Red and a Pink Blush Babette

Hi Copic Lovers,

I hope you are having a lovely weekend.  My weekend is flying by!

I have made two cards for our current challenge which is to use R and RV colours.

I have used Blush Babette again which can be purchased at the Mad for Markers Store here.

For the first card I used:

Reds: R20, R22 and R29

Hair: Y17, Y15, Y11

Skin: E00, E11

For the second card I used exactly the same hair and skin colours 

but I changed the reds to pinks:

RV06, RV04 and RV02.

I have a tutorial on how I colour Blush Babette here if you are interested.

If you havent linked up a creation yet, please do so.  We would love to see your colouring with the RV and R Copics.  Please list the colours you use so we can all learn new colour combinations.  Have a great weekend.

R and RV - mini cards....

Hi, it's great to be back posting in blog land. So much has happened since my last post which isn't too surprising since my last post was in Dec 2011. Now not only has 2012 started but a whole month has already gone and we are well and truly into Feb. During that time I've been travelling and in fact even my last post was scheduled for while I was o/s.

With how quickly this year is passing by, for today's inspiration I wanted to do something that should be attainable to everyone - that is, a very clean and simple card. What I love about CAS is it highlights how well you coloured your image as you can't hide it amongst a bunch of embellishments or DP. It also shows me how much more I want (*need) to practice.

Remember to head to Mad For Markers for all your Copic and Stamping supplies:

Copics: R000, R00, RV21, RV34, RV69

Stamps: TGF Lucky Bunnies

Card: X-Press IT

Colouring with R's and RV's Challenge.

Good morning all!
The weekend is almost upon us and as there is a great new challenge this month, i thought i would share with you a card or two for some inspiration for you to get out there and colour,Colour,COLOUR!!!

R's and RV's i find are not the easiest to colour with. I find they bleed a lot and if you do not get the shading right  they are not very forgiving.
I have always found though if you treat them a little different than your other colours especially the R's you can get some great results. I always try to not flood the page, i always use smaller flicks when using the R's and with that i do not get as much bleeding and they blend better.

The first card i have made today is with a Spech Digital image his name is Draggy, and boy he is SO cute! He reminded me of the Welsh Dragon that my daughter has,so i just had to colour him in red!

Supplies;Spech designer digi stamp-draggy, Copic markers-R22,24,27,29,30,32,35,Y00,08,15,26,28,38 and 0,
 Bo Bunny papers-Crush, Paper smooches stamps-sentiment sampler, Fiskars interchangeable border punch starter set, Bella! glitter card stock, bling.

I think this card would be perfect for a special someone!

My second card i tried using the darker R's and RV's. This card was going to be special for me as i made it for my parents 40th wedding anniversary.

Supplies; The greeting Farm digi image-cake topper kiss, Basic Grey papers,  Copic markers- R20,59,83,85, E00,11,33,35,42,43,47,50,57,Y28,YG45,C3,5,7, 100 and 0,, spellbinders die-lacy squares,and ribbon.

I hope i have given you a little inspiration to enter the current challenge!
All you need to do is upload onto the right sidebar to enter.
 And if you need a stamp to colour or a couple of Copic markers/refills do not forget that the Mad 4 Markers online shop has a great variety of stamps and markers for you to choose from.

I look forward to seeing YOUR card in the challenge!
