The Paper Shelter Peaceful Easter | Lil Patch of Crafty Friends | Copic Coloring

The Paper Shelter Peaceful Easter

Happy Sunday, crafty friends! It’s hard to believe that it’s the beginning of April and time for a new challenge on the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog. This month, team A is sponsored by The Paper Shelter. I am a huge fan of their gorgeous designs and for my project, I used The Peaceful Easter Digital Stamp.

I printed the image onto smooth white cardstock and created a mask by printing the image again onto a piece of copy paper. Once I had the mask in place, I ink blended the background using Squeezed Lemonade, Dried Marigold, and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink. 

Copic Color Combinations

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E13, R20, R22
Hair: E18, E17, E15, E13, E11
Shirt: G24, G21, YG11
Pants: RV55, RV52, RV00
Bunny: C2, C1, C0, Blender
Tree: E47, E44, E43

Pink: RV17, RV55, RV52, RV00
Teal: BG49, BG45, BG53, BG10
Grass: YG01, YG03, YG25, YG17

Once the ink blending was complete, I removed the mask and colored the image with Copic Markers. I used a stitched rectangular die to trim the panel and added the sentiment by heat embossing with white embossing powder. Then, I added the panel with foam adhesive to an A2-sized white top folding card base.

I hope you will join us on the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends blog and enter our challenge for a chance to win a prize from our fabulous sponsor. Visit The Paper Shelter at the links below to see more of their gorgeous designs.

Gerda Steiner Designs Hello Friend Tortoise | Colored with Copic Markers

Gerda Steiner Hello Friend Tortoise

 

Hey crafty friends! It’s almost the weekend, and I’m not as excited as I usually would be. For me, it means the end of Spring Break and a return back to school. Although I love being a preschool teacher, I am looking forward to these long breaks.

I enjoy making “just because” cards and love to have as many as I can in my stash for no particular reason other than sending a handmade card to my family and friends.

For this card, I used the Hello Friend Tortoise stamp set by Gerda Steiner Designs. I began the card by stamping the image onto smooth cardstock and using my Copic Markers to color all images in the following color combinations.

Copic Marker Combination

Green: YG67, G24, G21, G20
Dark Shell: E49, E47, E44
Light Shell: E44, E43, E41
Butterflies: Y117, Y15, Y11, W7, W5, W3

After coloring all of the images and using my ScanNCut to cut those out, I set them aside to work on the background. Using Distress Oxide ink in Dried Marigold, I inked up the bottom portion of a piece of heavy-weight smooth cardstock. Next, I added Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink just at the edges. I trimmed the background panel using a stitched rectangle die and set it aside to work on the grassy hills.

With Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink, I ink blended a panel then used the Stitched Hillside Borders die by Lawn Fawn. For texture, I splattered the panels with diluted white acrylic paint and allowed them to dry. I stamped the sentiment in the top left corner, adhered the images with liquid adhesive and glue dots, and added a frame to complete this card.

For the background, I ink blended a teal piece of cardstock with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide in the center and added a little bit of Peacock Feathers at the edge of the panel. To give the background more texture, I added white and teal splatters to the panel.

Next, I die-cut a piece of green cardstock and ink blended the top of the hills with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink. Again, I added white and green splatters for some texture.

Once the panels were dry, I used a stitched slimline rectangle die to die cut the entire panel. Then, I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Black Onyx ink, my favorite for sentiment stamping. And lastly, I added all of the images using glue dots or liquid adhesive.

Newton's Nook Designs Peony Blooms

 

Happy Wednesday, crafty friends! I hope your week is fantastic so far and only gets better as we near the weekend. I have a simple card to share featuring Peony Blooms by Newton’s Nook Designs.

This is a fantastic set of beautiful florals to take center stage on my card for a special friend. I stamped the images out several times then used my Copic Markers to color them in. I am not a huge fan of yellow, except for flowers. So naturally, these had to be yellow.

After coloring the images, I used my ScanNCut to cut them out.

Copic Color Combinations

Yellow: Y00, Y04, Y08, Y18, Y38
 Green: YG00, YG03, YG17, YG67

 

Newton's Nook Designs Peony Blooms

 

Working on the background, I trimmed a piece of smooth cardstock to an A7 size (5 x 7) panel, and ink blended the background. I used Spun Sugar Distress Oxide in the center, then blended outward with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink at the edges. I splattered the panel with diluted white acrylic paint and pink ink to give my card a little texture.

Next, I stamped the sentiment and added a thin frame die-cut from black cardstock to frame the Peony Blooms to finish this card. And lastly, I arranged the images in the lower portion of the card with foam adhesive and added a few clear drops by Studio Katia.

Pink and Main Puppy Love | Copic Coloring

Pink and Main Puppy Love

 

Hey crafty friends! Happy (almost) weekend. It’s close to that time of the year when people show feelings of love, affection, and friendship for those that they love and adore. With my mind on Valentine’s Day, I used the Puppy Love Stamp by Pink and Main to create this adorable card.

Typically, I stamp and color all of the images from a stamp set even though I rarely use all of them in one card. For this set, I colored the images with Copic Markers and used my ScanNCut to cut them out.

Copic Color Combinations

Brown Dog: E47, E44, E43, E41, R20, R24
Big Heart: R39, R29, R27, R24, R22
Spotted Dogs: Spots: E13, E11, Dogs: E50, E21
Pink: RV17, RV55, RV52. RV10
Black Dog: C9, C7, C5, C3
Blue: B01, B02, B04

 

Pink and Main Puppy Love

 

Mini slimline cards are becoming more common and I thought this little dog would fit perfectly on one. I ink blended the background with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink and added flicks of diluted paint for interest.

Next, I die-cut white cardstock with Cloud Sky Scene dies and stamped the sentiment with black ink. To finish the card, I adhered the images with foam adhesive and added the additional hearts with glue dots.
