Hello Friends! It’s Rachel here with this week’s Tuesday Tips and Tricks! So excited to share with you today one of my favorite iCopic products… Divine Twine! The name could not be more perfect to describe this fabulous product. It has many basic uses for hanging tags, tying up packages and stitching, but today’s card focuses on it’s most fun use as an embellishment. I started off my card by using the super sweet Sew Lovely set by Lawn Fawn. I stamped out 3 spool images onto Kraft cardstock, cut out each image and wrapped Cotton Candy Divine Twine around each spool. Just adding the twine makes the spools really pop! It’s such an easy embellishment to add to your cards, but this simple embellishment can easily be transformed into a gift.

Did you know that by simply loading up a cut out Kraft cardstock spool with twine you can create a cute and simple gift for your crafty friends? What a fun little surprise to gift a collection of the 11 lovely colors of Divine Twine available at iCopic on these adorable kraft cardstock spools to a friend. Each roll of Divine Twine contains 240 yards of twine, so now with the holidays approaching you could easily prepare several gifts of mini stockings or clear bags filled with cardstock spools of twine.

Hope you enjoyed this week’s Tuesday Tips and Tricks! There are so many uses for Divine Twine and I know you will love having & sharing this DIVINE product.

Thanks for visiting and Have a Divine Day!

Hi everyone!! Samantha here, and I have a new challenge for you!! This is iCopic Weekly Challenge #47.

The Challenge: High Contrast
Use your Copics to color in an image with high contrast! Color the lightest shades all the way to the deepest shadowed areas.

 

Add a direct link to your challenge project below. Projects are due on September 18th at noon PST. A winner will be chosen at random to receive this week’s prize AND be showcased right here on the iCopic blog Sunday evening!

Here is my example for high contrast. I created high contrast in the ballerina outfit of this Wild Rose Studio Ballerina Mia image. I left some white to create the illusion of the lightest pinks, and then I built up the color up to the darker pink shade.

Hello everyone! Samantha here! It is time to announce our weekly winner.

And the winner of the iCopic Weekly challenge #46 is. . .  25. Edna

Hi everyone! Samantha here!

My project for today is a nice and wintery card. I just love it when winter comes. I love snuggling up in a blanket, hot cocoa, and mittens!

Now even for winter themed cards, I like to use bold, bright colors. This card is no exception!

 This little girl image is from Gorjuss, called Bear Skin. I just loved her cute little bear hat and mittens.

I colored her in with the following Copic Colors:

• For her skin: E000, E00, and E01. I also added some little freckles with a white gel pen.
• For her outfit: YG23, YG25, YG0000, YG00, BV0000, BV00, and BV04. To her coat, I also added some glittery stitches using the #6 (Melon) At You Spica glitter pen.
• For her hair: E30 and E31

The sentiment is from SP and Company.
