A Birthday Card for Andy......

This week is Andy's Birthday (my boyfriend)....I made him a golf blanket earlier this week ----- he absolutely loved it. Yea.. Yea... I am always slow about cards for loved ones......... I finally got around to making him a card and am very pleased with the outcome, so I thought I would share........ now that I look at it.. the greeting does not match the image.. but what the heck it matches the inside of the card... So Happy, I am able to share such a special day with you.... Happy Birthday!

Impression Obsession Challenge - Fall

Impression Obsession has some of the most amazing images ever! They are so detailed and easy to color with your Copic Markers. Gary Robertson is one of my very favorite rubber stamp artists. He puts a ton of hash marks or shading marks in his image which makes it so easy to color! He has done the shading for you... Just use your darker colors where his hash marks are heavier. Now how easy is that! Your shading and highlights will be properly placed every time!

Hello Cupcake!

This little girl is just SOOO cute! I really had fun coloring her...... I am normally a pastel girl but lately I am really into these bright colors....

PLAYING WITH DIMENSION

I love how her hat is colored that makes it look dimensional. I shaded the sides and bottom of the white puffy part with N1 to give it some shape. I also added a bit of N2 on the sides of the blue band (over the blue).

Today is my brother Billy's birthday... this is me making him cupcakes.... LOL.. bet he would really like that!

The bowl looks like its dimensional because I used the lightest color in the center of the bowl and darker colors on the outside part of the bowl. This tricks our eyes into thinking that the sides of the bowl are further away from our eyes than the sides of the bowl. (same with the eggs and cupcake)

COLORS USED:

bowl/shirt: rv00, rv63, rv55, rv19, Y32, Y35, Y38

cupcake: YG11, YG13, YG17, E30, E37

eggs: E40, E42, E44

face: E000, E00, E11, R21

Hat: Puffy part N1, Blender

Hat/apron Band: B00, B02, N2 Blender

Hair: Y21, E33, E35, E37

chocolate cake batter (is there any other flavor?) E49

Penny Black Kitty colored by Jennie Black

LOL.. No I am not related to Penny Black.. I am asked that all the time.. I don't think there is a real Penny Black.. just the name of a Stamp company that I happen to love...

Here is a fun Birthday cards..... both bright and cheery with the bright colors I seem to be loving lately! Enjoy!

Copic Colors Used.

Kite: R22, R24, Y32, YR31, Bo1, Boo YG11, YG13

Kitty: YR31, YR21, YR24,

Cheeks: R21

Sky: B00

Tip: Make sure to use darker colors to help give dimension to the image.. IE: I used YR24 just behind the feet and under the chin to make the tummy look further away than the head and feet. Make sure that the part of the image closer to our eye or light source is lighter than the behind piece.

Die Cuts: Spellbinders
