This week at Copic Creations we are asking you to use your favourite technique - we were intending to have our 2nd anniversary celebrations but due to some unforseen circumstances have had to postpone it until 1st June.
Favourite techniques - now there's a problem, I don't really have one, I just like trying anything and everything, although there are certain things I find more enjoyable than others.
The fabulous Crafty Secrets are sponsoring us this week and so generously provided the DT's with stamps to work with.
I chose 'Alice's Tea Party' and then couldn't make my mind up as to which image to use - so what did I do - use them all (well nearly) and make a set of invitations together with a box. Now as I started this shortly before I was due to leave for a couple of weeks in the UK and have only just arrived home this week I really pushed my self time-wise, consequently there are one or two finishing off jobs I want to add.
This is the whole set
This is definitely one of the techniques I love doing, coloring on paper piecing, everything other than the jam tarts are paperpieced and shadow and depth created using E40, 41, 44 &49.
Another technique I enjoy is colouring the pleats and folds in clothing and Alice's dress is perfect for this - here I used B0000, B00, B21, 23 & 29.
Not really sure what technique is used here, but don't you just love the White Rabbit and I couldn't resist adding the watch and fob charm.
Not quite sure where I was going with this one but ended up trying to see if I could get all the primary and secondary colours into the one image. I think I've made it - Red, Blue(trousers which look a little black) Yellow - primaries
Violet (his tie - not very visible), Green and Orange (hair).
This one has to be the monochrome colouring which I do enjoy but let's face it couldn't do much else with this image!!
This one is a mixture of colouring folds and working with the complimentary colours - red and green.
Now with this one (the Knave of Hearts) I was taking myself out of my comfort zone - I'm not a lover of yellow and find it a rather difficult to work with so of course I had to have a go!!
Sponsoring us this time are the fabulous Crafty Secrets with a prize for the lucky winner of some stamps of their own!!
I really love these cards, and your coloring is flawless!

ReplyDeleteThanks again for the shadow box tutorial you gave the other day, I've finally had a go at it after being reminded of the technique when I was looking at angelwhispers blog yesterday. Really easy to follow your instructions and am pleased with the result. Keep up the great work.

What a glorious set - I think my favourite is your monochrome mouse, I do like your Knave Hearts & the tea set too, & Alice's dress - just starting to get the hang of folds & not be intimidated by them...... so it looks like they're all my favourites - what a lovely idea - here's hoping this posts & have a lovely weekend. Commenting is a bit haphazard as we keep getting disconnected.
