Gorjuss Scene

Hello everyone! I'm back to share a card I made for Copic Marker Europe, a Copic scene featuring a Gorjuss Girl and a little butterfly :) I chose to stamp my image using Memento Toffee Crunch Ink for a change from black lines.

I started by colouring the background: first the sky, using B00 and BG000, then the tree in E31, 35, 39, G21,24, 28, YG01 and the bushes using G28, YG01, 03, 17, 67. For the grass, I picked more YGs, using YG01, 03, 05, 06, 09, 17, 67. I then added shapes in the distance in BV000 and G20, and blades of grass in T7, B66 and YG67. The path was created with E40, 41, 42, 43.

I then coloured my Gorjuss Girl, choosing to cover the details of her dress (easier ;)!!). The reds are R22, 24, 27, 29, the light brown colour is E50, 51, 53. For the hair, I used T5, 7, 9 and BV04.

My image looked okay, but to make it look better I had to add a few details and pencil touches here and there...

I added shading to her skin and dress in Polychromos, coloured her eyes too and added some black to her hair. I added little dots and blades in the grass and bushes. Oh and a few gold dots to my girl's collar in gel pen too. And that was it :) I then die cut my image with an MFT die and wrote hello in white gel pen, as you can see below.

Sky: B00 and BG000

Tree: E31, 35, 39, G21,24, 28, YG01 

Bushes: G28, YG01, 03, 17, 67 + BV000, G20 in teh distance

Grass: YG01, 03, 05, 06, 09, 17, 67.

Blades of grass: B66, T7,YG67

Path: E40, 41, 42, 43

Skin: E000, 00, 11, 13, RV02

Hair: BV04, T5, 7, 9

Dress: E50, 51, 53, R22, 24, 27, 29

Butterfly: B66, 69, V06, 09

Thank you very much for your visit, have a beautiful day! Hugs,

Make it Crafty Siren of Pearls

Hello everyone! I'm sharing my make for our current challenge at Make it Crafty - ANIMALS! Mermaids are part animals, so since Zoe challenged me to colour scales for our challenge, I picked one of my favourite mermaid ever - Siren of Pearls.

I printed my Siren of Pearls on Make it Colour Blending Card and coloured her using Copics. I decided to match her to one of my beloved chipboard frames, a Delicate Ornate Circle Frame, which I coloured using a bronze Posca marker. I also added a Hello word chipboard sentiment, coloured with the same Posca marker and a blue gel pen. The DPs I used are by Doodlebug.

Skin: E000, 00, 11, RV02
Eyes: B02, B63
Scales: B63, 66, 69, BG13
Hair: E25, 59, YR21

To create the scales I did tiny dots with my Copics, starting with my darkest colour, B69, and going lighter as I widened the coloured area, to B66 then B63. I left some parts uncoloured and coloured them at the end in BG13.
