Feeding birdies

Posted on by Liz

When I first saw this stamp at Mo’s Digital Pencil I just knew I had to have it. I love the kid’s expression, the long scarf and well, everything. The little bird is just too cute and I decided to colour it up as a robin. I drew in a half-frame on the sentiment side of the card and used a sentiment stamp from Norsk Stempelblad. It didn’t stamp as nicely as I wanted, so I decided to keep the stamp as a shadow and write over it with a thin pen.

I’ve used the B90s, E70s, BG90, the usual skin colours and various Ns for this card.

A wee winter fairy for Christmas

Today is my second day on the Copic Marker Norge blog this month for our advent calendar. You don’t need the most typical Christmas stamps to make Christmas cards. This, for example, gets most of its Christmas feel through the colours I’ve used on the papers. The cute stamp is by Wee Stamps / Whimsy Stamps and I’ve used various papers from Maja Design. I’ve used a text stamp by Norsk Stempelblad and ribbon bought at Panduro. The card shame is made with dies from Go Kreate and I’ve edged the pieces with white acrylic paint.

Here is a close-up photo of the colouring. I wanted to show you how the wings, ear muffs and snow looks. To get that effect I simply played around with various light coloured markers, but with a bit extra focus on blue, until I got it how I wanted.

Copics used: (skin) E0000, E00, E02, E13, E15, (hair) E08, E18, E19, E49, E97, (green) BG90, BG93, BG96, BG99, (brown) E70, E71, E74, E77, (red) R22, R24, R27, R89, (shimmer) B00, B02, YR31, V000, N1

I’ve signed up for a couple of Christmas card swaps and this is one of the cards I made. I used one of my favourite bear stamps, by Lili of the Valley, my favourite Maja Design papers along with my favourite lace. Can you spot a theme going here? I edged the outer papers with white acrylic paint to give the card even more of a wintery feel.

Copics used: E41, E42, E43, E44, N0, N1, N3 and the blues I don’t remember.. maybe it was the B30s..

A bit of green

Posted on by Liz

With all the blue Christmas cards I’ve shared and will share, I thought I’d break it up a bit by adding one of the green ones. I don’t often make many green Christmas cards, but I’ve actually made a couple this year. This one is done with a Mo’s Digital Pencil image, a Papirdesign text stamp and a snowflake stamp by MFT Stamps. I’ve just drawn a border around it all and kept it simple.

I’ll see if I can find the copics I used for this and be back with them later on. The browns are E70s at least 🙂
