Hey there, Artie!! It’s Del! Today, I have a recap of last night’s epic fail (learning experience) and a great little success story!! We played with Colorado Craft Company + Anita Jeram’s All Weather Friends Stamp Set with the Copic Airbrush system!
This month’s collection of stamps from CCC has a bit of EVERYTHING —Savvy Sentiments, Big & Bold, Anita Jeram and the Winter Girl from Lovely Legs.
If you missed the live last night, you can watch the replay here!
Big Fail (Learning Experience)
I have to say, I had a lot of fun trying to figure out the best way to get down on paper what I had imagined. I think my ambition ended up much larger than my abilities. But a great learning resulted in my fail! I have a finished card that I absolutely love!
I decided to scale back my ambition a bit by simply coloring the project with natural gray markers and adding a pop of red — which happens to punch all my buttons!
Here’s my Finished Card Project:
List of Supplies for this Project:
To create the card, I stamped and masked the bunny image out with Gina K Amalgam Ink (Obisidian). Next, I airbrushed some darker areas onto the panel with N10. Then, I die cut some circles out of scrap paper using the smallest three Hero Arts Circle Infinity Dies. I placed them around the panel and airbrushed over them, leaving a circle that is lighter than its surroundings.
After airbrushing everything, I used a colorless Copic Blender to blend all of the panel. Next, I colored in the bunny and umbrella with Natural Gray and Red markers. I used cardstock with the circles die cut out of it to add some Unicorn Pigment Ink around the panel to brighten up some of the bokeh circles.
Card #2 - Airbrushed Overcast Sky
You all watched me create this one in the video, so I won’t go into detail here. If you want to watch the replay of just this card, go to minute 45:00 in the video!
X-Press It Copic Blending Cardstock
I just picked up this cardstock because of a Copic class I’m taking and I am wowed at the blending on this paper. You can pick it up at Amazon in a variety of pack sizes or a 10-pack at Simon Says Stamp!
