A not traditional confirmation card with My Bestie Copic DT post


Hi , it is spring and therefor also time of lots of celebrations
as christenings, confirmations, weddings etc.

 This is my non traditional confirmation card.
I have prepared it for the COPIC ITALY blog.

The confirmation  is a special occassion 
but the card does not have to be too serious ,
a lot of people love to see more "young people / fun " cards.

Anyway this image is suitable according to me , 
because she  has these lovely innocent big eyes.
This My Bestie digi from Sherri Baldy  is called Daffodila, img 660

To colour the image up I have used my new gray copic sketch markers of the T group.
You might know copic has 4 gray groups.

The W ( warm gray ) 
The C ( cool gray )
The T ( toner gray )
The N ( neutral gray )


copics I have used : 

skin : E 000, E 00, E 11 
cheeks : E 20, E 22
eyes : B 12, B 16 , multiliner black 0.3
lips : E 35, E 37
hair : YR 20, YR 21, YR 23, YR 24
clothes  : T 0, T 1, T 3, T 5, T 7
R 27, R 29, R 59
B 12, B 16
grass :  YG 23, YG 91, YG 95
flowers : YR 23, Y 18
shadows around the image : B 0000 , B 00, B 02


Last wednesday I had my  second  ECCP class ( advanced level )
 with my talented pupils, Sabrina, Camilla, Sabrina , Stefania and Raffaella .
It is great to share the "secrets and tips " how to use the copic markers.

In this class we had a closer look how to colour 
different styles of hair, different colours of skin , shadows around images
and shadows in general . 

But it is also a great oppertunity to share an afternoon with creative people,
you can always learn from eachother, and have a laugh !
The class was held at Canzonetti , L'arte in vetrina, the hobbyshop of Albano ( near Rome ).
At the end all students received their "diploma" , 
the prove that they have attended the official 
European Copic Colouring Program

In may we will do the special I class..as soon as the date is fixed I will let you know.
In this class we will do folds, distress colouring with copics, 
 confetti shadow and the feathering technique . 

Challenge: 

My Bestie Deutschland - anything goes with Bestie

Besties Challenge - baby or kid cards ( kid )

My Besties Aussie - use ribbon ( lace ribbon )

Tutorial monochromatic copic colouring and bloghop Loves Rubberstamps


Today a double post for you...
First of all my monochrome copic colouring tutorial.
I have prepared this post for COPIC ITALIA ...
and another monochromatic card for the 
 Sunday Inspirational card for the LRS bloghop..

This lovely digi is from Aurora Wings called ,
Lotus sprite big eye
you can find this and other of  Mitzi's work here
I think she is so talented!
She has a challengeblog now, see link beneath.
And they are lovely to colour up.

Monochromatic colouring means use one colour in different shades.
With copics you will not have problems to find your shades of one colour..
I have chosen my beloved "E" family of the copics.
These are all EARTH colours.


step 1:
I have coloured her face, 
I have used the E 000, E 00, E 11, R 20 for the left side ( the lighter part )
and
I have used the E 000, E 00, E 13 , R 20 for the right side  ( the darker side )


step 2: 
Have started to colour her hair,
first I have added E 21 where I want to have the darker shadows.


step 3:
Have passed the darket E 25 colour


step 4:
Now it is time to pass the darkest colour E 29


step 5 :
Now I start blending with the light E 21,
the places where I wanted the lightest part are left white


step 6 :
Pass the darker E 25 again , repeat these colours untill I like the result.
At the final the white part is colored with the lightest colour E 21.


step 7:
Now I start to colour the lotus, starting with E 31.
I do not cover the whole, I leave some white parts.


step 8:
Over the E 31 I start to add the darker E 34,
still leaving the white parts white


step 9:

nother layer of colour on top, this time with E 35


step 10:
Then I have blended the white parts with the coloured parts with my E 11.
On the right side ( shadow side ) of the digi I have also used E 37 for the Lotus flowers
and E 13 to blend.

The papers are from :
 My mind's eye, 
the dies are from MFT.


I have used a double folded piece of kraft, 
and left one side out of the die in able to create a "booklet"
inside I have stamped the text from MFT.
( Products Links below ).
When you open the ribbon you see this..
