Guess what I got for Christmas?
Yes, some Copics!
We have just spent a week away at Dolphin Sands. It’s so beautiful there, but the weather in Tassie is always unpredictable so whenever we go on holidays I take some stamps for the girls and I to colour in.
This year I took some very, very, very old stamps that I haven’t used for years and my new copics. This is my first ever copic attempt. Well actually I should clarify that by saying that there were lots and lots of attempts, but this is my first card using them.
When we got back home I saw that my friend Rita had come up with a great sketch for Freshly Made Sketches this week and I knew I just had to use it for my cat card.
I have only just managed to get this card made and in before the deadline.
There is always so much washing and cleaning to do when you get back from holidays isn’t there :(
Ingredients :
Stamps : Penny Black bibliophile, teeny tiny sentiments
Card : black, x-press it blending card, neutrals dsp stack
Ink : memento black, stazon, copics
Other : decorative label punch

Kathy, I think your coloring looks amazing! The shading on the chair is just awesome as are the cats and the cup. Thanks for coming over to play with my sketch this week!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card, this image is super fun and your colouring is fantastic. Love the teeny tiny sentiments for the background too.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Kathy, I've been waiting for some time to comment on this card! This is an amazing 'first' for colouring with Copics. I'm still trying to get the hang of them. Maybe Tania will give me some lessons! I took some colouring in (pencils) with me on holidays too but haven't done anything with them yet. Well done on getting all that shading done so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWow ... I love this Kathy ... great colouring too!

ReplyDeleteAww, it's so adorable! You are off to a great start with your new Copics and your shading is looking great. I've had mine a while now and I still don't have them figured out!
