Fairy Magical Birthday!

I started this fairy a couple of days ago and shared it on Instagram as my Day 11 coloring. Was happy to get her finished today to share for Day 13 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge. I had another marker run out on me - my B000 while coloring the background. Now I'm wondering how many markers 30 days of coloring could empty. Ha, that means plenty of practicing and taking time to do something I enjoy is happening around here!!!

Copic Colors:

Wings: B05, B02, B00

Pinks: R85, R83, R81

Yellows: Y15, Y02, Y00

Hair: E44, E42, and just a touch of E40

Background: B00, B000, B0000, Blender

Use your favorite skin tone combo!

The stamp and sentiment along with both dies are from Jaded Blossom. I colored on Hammermill 100# paper and the cardstock is Papertrey Ink.

Morticia!

A little throwback to the Addams Family today for a challenge I'm participating in over on the Alicia Bel Facebook page. I decided to give Morticia a red dress, but I still like her style!

I used my Copics for my coloring. My C1 ran out of ink in the midst of working on the skin tone. I knew I needed a refill for this marker, but just hadn't bought it yet. Oh well, even if I didn't get the result I was aiming for, I am not disappointed in how it turned out. 

Here are most of the colors I used:

Hair: N8, N6, N4

Skin: C5, C3, C1, E000, Blender

Dress: R89, R59, R39, R29

Eyeshadow: RV32, R32, R30

Garden Clippers: C5, C3, C1, RV69, R89, R59

Rose: R59, R29, R27, R24, G99, YG63, YG03

I added glitter to her hair with a Wink of Stella pen. Happily my photo caught some of that shine. I also used some Black Soot Distress Oxide to cover the white framing my image. For the card, I used dies from Jaded Blossom and My Creative Time. The cardstock is from Papertrey Ink.

Hello Friend!

It's Day 8 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge. I'm excited to say that I have shared something everyday so far! But if you want to see days 5-7, you'll have to head over to my Instagram page here or my Facebook page here as I haven't made those colorings into cards. Although my day 6 colorings will be cards soon - yay! 

Today, I have a magical image from Alicia Bel to share with you called Happy Unicorn. I am still coloring with my Copics. The wings and hair have been colored with a Wink of Stella pen as well to give them some glitter, but it doesn't show in the photo unfortunately! The background clouds were made with a stencil from My Favorite Things and Broken China Distress Oxide. The patterned paper is from Lawn Fawn. And I used a die from Jaded Blossom.

I had colored two of these images and had planned to use the other one for my card as it was a bit more colorful; but when I stamped my sentiment onto the card, I got ink on my image. It was a real reminder that it is best to stamp the sentiment before attaching the image. LOL!

Thinking of You!

I am almost feeling like my summer break might be busier than the school year. Ok, that's not true, but it was a busy Monday after a busy Sunday nonetheless and tomorrow it is not slowing down either. I think that is just the life of a mama with three kiddos! LOL!

Today's coloring and card use an image from CC Designs. Isn't she just the cutest?! She is definitely thinking about something and it looks a bit mischievous.

I went old school from my days of working on the Trendy Twine DT and used some twine on my card. Hadn't done that in awhile. The card base is cardstock from Papertrey Ink and the background paper and enamel dots are from Doodlebug Design. I used my Copics to color her, but didn't write down my colors. Sometimes I color sitting in my car while waiting for a kiddo to get done with practice and in those moments I am just enjoying the luxury of being quiet and still and just coloring. Any other mamas know what I'm talking about! :)

This is my Day 4 coloring for The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge.

You're Amazing! (Forest Elf)

It has been a busy Sunday and I almost didn't make it to my computer to share my Day 3 project for The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge. But here she is! This image is called Forest Elf and can be found in the Alicia Bel Digital Stamp store. And I truly do think this image is amazing! I had a great time coloring her and I am especially excited about how her hair turned out. The image is colored with Copic Markers. I wrote down many of them that I used, but not all; so I will share what I have.

Copic Markers:

Dress: G99, G63, G61

Eyes: G17, G14, YG13

Hair: E49, E47, E44, E42

Bow: E18, E15, E13

Arrows: C1, C3, E18, E15, E13, E44, E41

Backgorund Blues: B000, B0000

The cardbase is True Black Cardstock from Papertrey Ink.

Thanks for stopping by!

Because "I Love You"!

Last month's free class from Kit and Clowder used this image to teach us to color on a candle. I still haven't bought  a candle, but wanted to color up this sweet bear image from Di's Digis; so I just colored it up on paper and made a card with the image instead. I still used the Copic color combos and techniques taught in the class. Thanks, Alyce, for another great class!!! It might sound weird, but my favorite part is how the big leaf on the rose turned out, but I am thrilled with the whole image.

The cardstock base is Summer Sunrise from Papertrey Ink and the sentiment is from a company that is now closed. And this is my Day 2 coloring for The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge hosted by Kathy Rac.

You should find my Day 3 coloring here or on my Instagram page (or both) tomorrow. See you then!

Hello!

It's Day 1 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge hosted by Kathy Rac. I have a card to share with you using a digital stamp from All Dressed Up.

I used Copic markers to color her and dies from My Favorite Things and Jaded Blossom to complete my card. The background paper is from Authentique and the cardstock is from Papertrey Ink. 

I'm looking forward to sharing lots of coloring this month and should have plenty of time since school is out for summer break and I have lots of days off! Yay!

See you here or on my Instagram page tomorrow with Day 2!
