Krafty Tutorial - Savannah!

Hello everyone! I'm back to share a step-by-step tutorial on a savannah scene make. I have used a super sweet giraffe from the Kraftin' Kimmie Wild World set and decided to give it a background.

Bonjour à tous! Petit tutoriel aujourd'hui, je vous emmène dans la savane! 

I die cut a piece of paper and airbrushed it using my Copics. I used YR07, 16 then Y15, 11 to suggest a sunset scene.

J'ai utilisé une découpe Lawn Fawn et créé un fond avec mon airbrush et mes Copic YR07, 16 puis Y15, 11.

  

I then drew a background, using the chisel nibs of my C7 and C9 to create the ground, then I doodled the rest in Copic multiliners. For the blades of grass in the foreground, I used my Copic Small Brush Multiliner.

J'ai ensuite dessiné une scène, avec les pointes biseautées de mes Copic C7 et C9 pour le sol, puis j'ai dessiné les formes au Multiliner. 

I stamped the giraffe from the Wild World Set in Wicked Black Hybrid Ink, did some fussy cutting and coloured it in Copics. Quick tip: I coloured the whole body without paying attention to the dark "spots" of the giraffe, much easier to place the shadows than going around all the little details ;)! On the photo above, I used E41 and E50 only - you will see the rest of the colouring below!

J'ai tamponné puis découpé une girafe rigolote du set Kraftin' Kimmie Wild World Set et je l'ai coloriée au Copic. Plutôt que d'éviter les taches de la girafe, j'ai placé mes ombres et fait le blanc en coloriant par-dessus les taches. Juste du E41 et E50 ci-dessus - voir ci-dessous pour la colo en entier:)

I put my savannah background on a card base, then added my coloured giraffe on foam pads for a bit of dimension. Here are all the colours I used:

Giraffe: E29, 41, 50, 99, W1, 3

Background/ Sky Y11, 15, YR07, 16

Background/ Black: C7, 9, Copic multiliners

J'ai collé mon fond et ajouté ma girafe sur carrés mousse pour un peu de relief. 

Girafe: E29, 41, 50, 99, W1, 3

Fond/ Ciel:Y11, 15, YR07, 16

Fond/ Noir: C7, 9, Copic multiliners

And I thought why not put a frame? That would make a nice gift! 

Et finalement, j'ai mis un cadre pour faire un petit cadeau sympa ;)!

Thank you very much for stopping by, have a great day everyone! Hugs,

Krafty Tips and Tuts - Airbrushed Scene with Masking

Hello everyone! I'm sharing a little tutorial today - a simple scene with masking and airbrushing!

For my character, I picked a cute sweetie from the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Halloween Lulu set, just rereleased as rubber. I also used the KKS Spooky Silhouettes set, a fabulous set to create Halloween scenes!

I stamped my character in Wicked Black Hybrid Ink on my Copic card and on a Post-It to mask her.

I then stamped a tree from the Spooky Silhouettes set three times. 

I then placed a mask to mimick a hill.

I airbrushed the sky RV23 and 66 starting from the bottom and then I started from the top with YR18 then YR04.

I used the other part of my mask to then cover the sky and create the hill. I used G29, YG03, 67. 

Next I coloured my sweetie in Copics and went back on the trees with a black Copic multiliner to make them really black.

Skin: E000, 00, 11

Hair: BV04, C7, 9, 10

Outfit: C5, 7, 9, 10, R35, 37, 39

Pumpkin: Y35, 38, YR04, 18 

And lastly, I coloured a tiny piece of paper in YG03 and stamped a Halloween sentiment from the Spooky Silhouettes set, and voilà! 

Hope you found this little tutorial helpful! Have a great day everyone! Hugs,

CAS Copic Airbrushing

Hello everyone! I'm back to share a CAS card with simple airbrushing I made for Copic Marker Europe. I love the look you get with the airbrush and it is a nice simple way to add colour to your backgrounds. 

I used an image (and sentiment) from the MFT Beary Special Birthday stamp set which I coloured with my Copics then cut out. I cut a rectangle the size of an ATC because it's a format I like and airbrushed it using different Copics starting from the bottom of the rectangle. I then put my image and sentiment on foam squares for a bit of dimension and added a few Papermania Dots. 

Bear: E25, 27, 29, 40, 41, 42, 43, R20

Red: R35, 37, 39, 89, T5

Gold: E33, Y11, 21, 26

Background: Y15, YG05, YR61, V04

CC Designs Copic scene

Hello everyone! I'm back to share a summer card I made for Copic Marker Europe - a simple scene done with a stamp, a stencil, my airbrush and of course my beloved Copics!

The cutie I have used is called Pina Colada by CC Designs from the June release. I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black, coloured her in Copics and then cut her out. 

For the background, I used a piece of drawing paper instead of smooth card to have a bit of texture, because I really like how the airbrushing looks on it. I chose a CC Designs stencil called Sun And Surf, which includes the sun and the waves. I airbrushed the sun first, starting with my lightest colour to be able to go darker then and not make the mistake of starting too dark. I then used a darker shade of yellow and ended by adding a bit more of my lightest yellow. 

For the waves, I picked different shades of blue, did the waves with my stencil and put a paper mask to create the horizon. I then stamped a sentiment from the CC Designs Pool Party sentiment set.

MiC Clean and Simple Challenge #1

Hello everyone! I shared a little sneak peek of this card earlier in the month, for our first Clean and Simple Challenge at Make It Crafty! The theme is "Background Technique" and for great inspiration, you can look at my teamies' work HERE! 

I love adding backgrounds and this one was done with a stencil, a paper mask and my airbrush :)

I used Beautiful Leia digi and thought she needed a happy sunny background. To do it, I used a Memory Box stencil, secured it with washi tape and added a paper mask I cut to create the hill. I airbrushed the sun, then removed the hill mask and covered the sunny airbrushed area with the negative part of the paper mask I used to do the hill. I then embossed a sentiment in white. 

Beautiful Leia was printed on Make It Colour Blending Card, coloured in Copics, cut out and put on foam squares. 

Skin: E000, 00, 01, 13, 71
