Playing with Copic Inks

Hello everyone! I'm back to share to share an inky make I created for my Copic Marker Europe post. I decided to have a play with my Copic Various Inks, I find it soooooo relaxing to just add drops of colour to paper and watch them mixing - I love it!

I used Transotype Synthetic Paper and put drops of BG09, 15, B04, 69 on it - I just let them act the way they wanted :)

Here is the result - I just keep playing until I like what I see. As you can see, I also usually use a piece of synthetic paper larger than what I really need, so that I can choose the part of the paper I like the most.

I cut my background and glued it to a white card base.

To decorate my background, I picked some Make it Crafty Chipboard - a Wreath Circle Frame, a Christmas Layered Word and a word from the Celebrate Adapt A Word. I coloured them using metallic pens for a bit of sparkle and white acrylic paint. I then covered them all in Star Dust Stickles.

I then glued everything to my background using Glossy Accents - and decided to add "It's" to have a well-balanced sentiment.

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

Paperbabe Stamps Sneak Peeks Day 2

Hello everyone! Today we are sharing peeks of the new release at Paperbabe Stamps, a release which will be available on Saturday morning! Today's peeks are about the new Side Swept Waves Template, which matches the Mini Profile Face stamps.

Bonjour à tous! Présentation des nouveautés chez Paperbabe Stamps, qui seront disponibles samedi matin! Aujourd'hui, un nouveau style de chevelure, à coordonner avec les tampons Profile Face dans leur version Mini.

I decided to paint - so relaxing - and used this new template on a Paperbabe Stamps MDF Substrate. Because I wanted to really focus on ractising acrylics, I did not add pencils despite really wanting to ;)!!

J'ai décidé de faire un peu de peinture acrylique - sur un support MDF Paperbabe Stamps. JE m'en suis tenue à l'acrylique, le but étant de m'entraîner avec ce médium, donc je n'ai pas rajouté de crayon sur ma peinture malgré la tentation ;)!!

Stamps/ Tampons: Paperbabe Stamps Mini Profile Face stamps

Templates/ Pochoirs patron: Paperbabe Stamps Side Swept Waves
Substrate/ Support: Paperbabe Stamps MDF Hanging Circles

Stencil/ Pochoir: Paperbabe Stamps Doodle Stars

Tutorial - Mixed Media Halloween

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing a step-by-step tutorial on how to make a Mixed Media Halloween scene. I chose to use 3 super cute Halloween stamps sets from the Kraftin' Kimmie Store - MINI MONSTERS, HAUNTED HOUSE and HARVEST BLESSINGS. I stamped elements from the Mini Monsters and Harvest Blessings set in Wicked Black Ink, did some fussy cutting and colored them in Copics.

Bonjour à tous! Je partage aujourd'hui un tuto sur une scène Mixed Media :) J'ai utilisé 3 sets de tampons Kraftin' Kimmie - MINI MONSTERS, HAUNTED HOUSE et HARVEST BLESSINGS. J'ai tamponné mes éléments à l'encre Wicked Black Ink, découpé mes images et je les ai mises en couleur au Copic.

Skin/ Peau: E21, 50, 51

Purple costume/ Costume violet: V09, 15, 17

Red Costume/ Costume rouge: C7, R35, 37, 39

Horns/ Cornes: E41, 43

Balloons/ Ballons: G28, YG01, 03, 17

Pumpkins/ Citrouilles: Y35, YG95, 99, YR04, 07, E08, 19 

Cat/ Chat: C2, 4, 6, R20

Now to the background:

Et maintenant le fond:

I used a square grey board and covered it in red, orange and yellow paints applied with a sponge.

J'ai utilisé un carton carré que j'ai recouvert de peinture rouge, orange et jaune, appliquée à l'éponge.

To add a bit of interest to my scene and really have a Halloween feel to it, I stamped the HAUNTED HOUSE in Versafine.

Une fois le fond sec, j'ai tamponné la maison HAUNTED HOUSE à l'encre Versafine.

I then coloured the house using Pitt pens and gel pens. I also created a hill using acrylic paint and a sponge so the house would not be floating in the air ;)!

J'ai colorié ma maison au feutre Pitt et j'ai aussi créé une colline avec mes peintures acryliques pour éviter que ma maison ne flotte dans les airs ;)!

Next, I decided to add a bit contrast to the sky, so I added a bit of Ruby Red Hybrid Ink with a sponge dauber on the edges of my sky, then some Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink. I also stamped a little ghost and 2 stars, coloured with Posca pens.

J'ai ensuite tamponné avec une mousse de l'encre Ruby Red sur les bords de mon ciel et de la Distress Chipped Sapphire. J'ai aussi tamponné un petit fantôme et 2 étoiles, coloriés au Posca.

I then glued my elements on my board. The only character which I put on foam squares for a bit of dimension is the little purple monster.

J'ai collé tous mes éléments sur mon fond. Le seul élément collé sur mousse 3D pour avoir un peu de relief, est le petit monstre violet.

And lastly, I added a bit of gold to the edges of my board and some gel pen touches here and there. And voilà :)!

Enfin, j'ai rajouté du doré sur les bords de mon carton et des touches de stylo gel - et voilà :)!

Thanks for stopping by, have a fab Monday everyone! Hugs,

Merci de votre visite, bonne journée à tous! Bises,

Delphine xx
