Hi, everyone, Kelli here!  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!  I know I made a Thanksgiving card last week with this same set, but I HAD to post a Thanksgiving card actually on Thanksgiving!  I said Thanksgiving so many times in those first couple sentences, lol!
I used the super cute Lawn Fawn – Harvest Season stamp set and all the colored images I stamped were with Memento – Tuxedo Black ink.

I stamped a bunch of the small and large leaves and colored them with various oranges, yellows, browns and greens and then cut them all out.  I also did the same with the pumpkin.
Here are a list of all the Copics I used:
Pumpkin – YR18, YR16, YR15, G28, G24, G21
Leaves – YR18, YR16, YR15, G28, G24, G21, G20, Y35, Y15, Y11, Y23, E35, E31
I know there’s quite a bit of a color difference in some of the leaves, but it will eventually blend if you just move from darker to lighter (or vice versa) and just keep blending.
Also, after I cut everything out, I went around the white core of the paper with the Memento – Tuxedo Black marker.  I think it really gives the images a completed look.

 Thanks so much for stopping by!  🙂

Today’s card uses an image by Wild Rose Studio called Pickle with Present.  I combined the image with several glittered designer papers…of which there are MANY in the store!

I colored my image with the following Copic Markers: R29, R27, G07, YG17, YG07, W7, W5, W3, W1, W0, YR16, Y38.  The present is accented with a Green Spica Glitter Pen.

Other embellishments include: sizzix snowflake dies, Martha Stewart Punch Around The Page punches, Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing folder, glittery flock, satin ribbon and a pearl.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is a great little trick to use when you want to add some shading, but you don’t have Copic markers that are close enough in value (i.e. one is really dark and the other is really light and you don’t have anything in between). If you are reading this via email, you may need to click over for the video.

Here is the full project:

 Here are some close ups of my coloring:

Supplies from Video:

Well, I hope that you can add this technique to your coloring skills if you haven’t already used this technique. It is a great technique to know!  Have a wonderful day!
