Dance and be happy

I was without internet all weekend, so the blogging I’d planned to do simply had to wait. I did however make 10 or so cards though, so I have plenty of stuff to share! Here is one of them. A simple card using an old Stamping Bella stamp, Make it Crafty chipboard (I’ll miss them!) and Rayher butterflies. This is one of the images I coloured up on my Copic demo at Hobbykunst last autumn.

Floral card (og kurs)

18th January I’m having my first colouring and card making course. The object of the course is to make a floral card, where you colour in the stamped image yourself, and there are three possible options. Today’s blog post is for the purple option. I’ve used Rayher dies and a stamp from My Favorite Things.

Lørdag 18. januar skal jeg holde kort- og fargeleggingskurs hos Hobbykunst i Oslo. Her skal vi sammen fargelegge dette blomstermotivet fra My Favorite Things med Copic Marker og man kan velge mellom oransje (se det oransje kortet her), lilla og rosa. Det er tre noe ulike layouter på dette enkle kortet, og man velger selv hvilken layout man ønsker. Påmelding og mer informasjon om hva man trenger er på Hobbykunst sine nettsider her.

Det ligger nå også ute foreløpig informasjon om de neste to kursene jeg skal ha, i februar og mars.

Magnolia ballerina

It’s been a while since I made a card with my magnolia stamps, so I thought I’d make one. Opted for a green and purple combination.

And the Copic colours I used? I honestly don’t remember, but it looks like it could be my usual skin colours, the E70-series for the hair, the V10-series for the purple, the C for the white and I’m sure there were various YGs for the green.

Colouring video: Make a wish

I finally have another colouring video for you! It is a Mo’s Digital Pencil stamp called Make A Wish and I have coloured it up in no-lines. To colour up in no-lines you can print out a digital stamp in really faint lines, or you can use a pale coloured ink (or stamp several times with a dark one without reapplying the ink) on a rubber or clear stamp. I used this to make a card a few months back, but there’s been so much going on that I’ve only just managed to get the video done! Better late than never, right?

There is no audio on this video. I will try to add that to my next one again, though.

Here is the card I made with the finished colouring.

Make a wish

It is once again the 15th of the month and that means we’re kicking off another anything goes challenge over at Copic Marker Norge. This time the DT has been challenged to do no-line colouring. It’s been a while since I took the time to do one of those so when I sat down to start it took me forever to choose which image to colour! In the end I decided on a Mo’s Digital Pencil stamp called Make A Wish.

The background paper and border die are by MFT Stamps and the butterflies (which I’m sure you know by now that I have a weak spot for) are by La-La Land Crafts.

Copics used: (skin) E0000, E00, E02, E13, E15, R30, (hair) E21, E25, E27, E29, (turquoise) BG10, BG11, BG15, BG18, (purple) V12, V15, V17, (grey) N0, N1, N3, N5, N7, (green) G21, G40, G82, G94
