Hi there, for today I wanted to enjoy some coloring and I used the stunning image from the Wild Poppies stamp set by My Favorite Things.
These are C6 standard American Cards ( A2).
Although to be honest. The sky’s the limit when talking about colouring options…
I also wanted to show you the different looks achieved by using alcohol markers and water-based markers.
So I applied Copics ( Alcohol markers) to the card on the left, and Kuretake Clean Colour Real Brush – Zigs (water-based markers) to the card on the right.
Wild Poppies Copic Colouring
- For this card, I simply stamped the beautiful image from Wild Poppies stamp set on Neenah Solar Crest 80Lb.
- As I intended to use Copics, I used Mento Black ink and the help of the Misti ( stamping platform).
- Then, I applied colors using Copic Markers.
- I die-cut the panel using dies the larger solid rectangle and the larger dotty rectangle die from Essentials Rectangles die set by spellbinders.
- Next, I glued the panel onto a backing layer of soft grey cardstock and I glued this onto a prescored A2 card base.
- I heat embossed a black banner using Versamark Ink and Wow Opaque Bright White Super Fine Embossing Powder (WL01SF) and I foam mounted it.
Copic Markers Colours Used
- Flowers : dark red R59, bright red R27, fuchsia RV29, to blend I used Pink RV23.
- Leaves: dark green YG67, light green G21.
- Shadows: light Green BG93, Grey C-7, Brown E47, Dark Green G99
I also added yellow over the edge of the leaves ( Y08) and blended it using a light green (YG41)
Wild Poppies Zigs Colouring
- For this card, I stamped the image from Wild Poppies stamp set on Arches Cold press 300 grams watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and with the help of the Misti.
- Then, I applied colors using Zigs and a Nuvo fine tip water brush.
- Using dies the larger solid die and the larger dotty rectangle die from Essentials Rectangles die set by Spellbinders, I die-cut the coloured panel.
- Next, I glued the panel onto a backing layer of soft grey cardstock and I glued this onto a prescored A2 card base.
- I heat embossed a black banner using Versamark Ink and Wow Opaque Bright White Super Fine Embossing Powder (WL01SF) and I foam mounted it.
- To embellish, I applied Nuvo Aztec Gold accents to the center of the flowers and clear sequins.
Zig Markers Colours Used
