Tuesday Tips ~ LaLa Land Crafts
Hello! Michelle here with some Tuesday Tips for you!
I’m often asked how I pick the Copic colors I use on my cards, because people just aren’t sure what colors to put together. Well…I let the designer paper pick my Copic colors! I never start coloring my images until I’ve made a decision on the papers I will be using.
For today’s cards I chose to use papers from Wild Rose Studio’s Kalahari Dreams Paper Pack. I chose the designer paper above and then laid it on my Copic Marker Color Chart….a perfectly easy way to pick the perfect colors! You can see the colors and Spica Glitter Pens I used below:
For my second card, I again chose my designer paper and matched up my Copic Markers and accessories.
And one final tip on my fussy cutting….turn your paper, not your scissors, as you are cutting.
I loved coloring these adorable images from LaLa Land Crafts: Roller Skate Marci and Fancy Marci.
iCopic Weekly Challenge #40
Hey there! Samantha here with this week’s challenge!
Now, don’t be scared, but this challenge is going to be really difficult for some of us! I just want you to think outside the box and give it a try.
The challenge: Anything but a card
I know some of you just shuddered when you read that, but you can do this!! Think scrapbook layouts, mini pages, gift sets, 3d items, tags, gift tags, bookmarks, wall art, etc. There are so many options so get creative and see what you can come up with.
Add a direct link to your pastel project below. Projects are due on July 31st 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!
For the inspiration project, I decided to make a scrapbook layout and I decided to use my handy dandy Copic Airbrush System. If you need more inspiration, please see the end of this post because I have a list of past projects that fit this challenge.
What I did was cut out my letters out of cheap cardstock using a die cut machine, taped them to my page with repositionable tape (you don’t want them to rip your paper when you peel them off later), and then airbrushed around them with my Copic C7 marker. When I was done, I just peeled the letters off and threw them into my recycle bin.
So link up your project below:
