Copic Creations Challenge - One Year Anniversary

Copic Creations Challenge is hosting their one year Blogoversary. They have challenged everyone to use their favorite technique that they have featured over the past year and incorporate that as your challenge piece. I had a really hard time choosing. 

All the ones I participated in were really fun. I use the Greens technique probably more than any other. So I chose that. I also included quite a bit of black coloring in here as well.  The image is from Dustin Pike and is a Freebie on his blog. The sentiment is from House Mouse, and has been cut up.


















The Dragon was colored with YG11, 13 and 17, and V12, 15, 17. The reds were R14, 27, 59. It gave and interesting effect. The blacks are C5, C7, C9. I added a little outline in the bats wings with black Spica. I also added a little bit of clear Spica on the horns and the skull.
















 The image was printed on a laser printer, and once colored, I cut it out and popped it up on the purple circle. 

I inked the edges with versafine, and then clear embossed it. This was mainly to make it a bit shiny.  The sentiment is also inked with Versafine and Clear Embossed.

Thank you for stopping by.

Hang In There Dragon

First  -  I want to thank Flourishes stamps so very much! I won one of the Flourishes challenges from last weeks Timeless Tuesday Anniversary. You can see the challenge card I made under Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge B.

YAYYYYYYYYYY!  I can't wait to get my new stamps. The Flourishes stamps are so very detailed and crisp, and they are releasing new ones this week. Again - - THANK YOU FLOURISHES!

Now onto the new stuff!

I made this card for a friend of mine at work who has been having to deal with some really rough work stuff lately.  It is exhausting, and I thought she might need a pick me up.

I downloaded this dragon from Dustin Pike's Freebies that he gives away occasionally.  I adore dragons and his are so very cute. I printed it out on my laser printer and colored it with Copics.



I colored the dragon with YG13 and YG17 and V12, 15, 17. The cape and feathers and banner are B24, 26, 29, the Armor is C3, 5, 7.  The gold is Y23, 26, 28. The horns are YR16 and YR07.  I outlined the dragon with B0000 so that the teeth would look whiter. :-)

I cut the image out with a Nestie, leaving a part of it outside the cut. I cut two other pieces of orange with Nesties as well, and sprayed with gold Glimmer mist. The Flower is colored with YR16 and YR07.  I added a ribbon and some blue bling!

This was REALLY fun to color.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you drop back by soon.
