Wordless Wednesday - so much happening in this photo

Hello Baby Card

I'm still getting the hang of Copic Markers. I LOVE them, however sometimes, they just don't blend like I want them too. In all reality, I simply need practice.I spent a good amount of time last night putting all this together. If you follow my Facebook page, you started to see bits and pieces of this card as it was put together.

For the beak

Used a little N0 for shading in the eyes - though hard to see here.

For the bird body, I used Y00 and B00.

And the flags... oh yes. I used a few too many, but I was having fun/trouble (is there a difference in art?).

R22, R24, R29, Y00, Y13, Y17, BV00, V15, V17, B00, B12, B14, YG03, G14, YG17

WHOA! Yeah. I'll have to work on that :)

On the inside, I used a Technique Tuesday Ali Edwards stamp and a couple more flags (I had stamped and colored extras, just in case I messed up big time).

I love these markers - even though more practice is needed. What markers do you prefer?

Weekend Flair: Rainy Day Card

This card was a lot of fun to make and a bit of an experiment. I had never used spray in my crafting, and it was time. I purchased the Goosebumps spray, and decided it would be a fun way to 'show' rain.

My cricut cut the umbrella, boots, grass and rain drops. I layered the boots with 2 shades of yellow, and colored in the black on the bottom. I inked the grass with a deep green.

The drops and umbrella were first inked around the edge using a silver ink and then sprayed with the Goosebumps spray. They did have to be set aside to dry for a few minutes.

I used scrap paper to punch 2 clouds. Using the blending tool, blue ink, and the clouds as masks, I ramdomly placed clouds on the background of the white card base.

The umbrella, I layed with a red/yellow combo. I used a couple layers of 3D dots under the center of the umbrella to gain a deeper 3D perspective.

Finished it off with an Ali Edwards stamp! :)
