[May 10: Updated to include photos of Copic colors used]
One of my favorite techniques is coloring! One of my favorite mediums to color with is Copic markers! The Rubbernecker challenge this week is to create something with "your favorite technique." Also this week, Marianne asked about any experience we've had using Strathmore papers. I did some coloring on one of the papers she recommended to see what it was like. I liked coloring on the Vellum. I found it easy to blend and easy to erase - two important things! :o)
- Stamped image onto ATC
- Colored with markers, starting with lightest color and coming back with darker color to show
contrast. Then going back again with lighter color to blend.
- I used the colorless marker (0) to really lighten some areas.
- I colored her hair black, then went back with the colorless marker in small circles to give a little texture.
- I used a glitter pen on her necklace and belt to add a little bling.
- Assembled card and added Dew Drops.
- Stamped image onto ATC
- Colored with markers, starting with yellows - lightest shade first and coming
back with darker color to show contrast. Then going back again with
lighter color to blend.
- I used the stamp as my guide for shading and put the darker colors where the hatches were on the image.
- I used a glitter pen on one side of the flower pedals.
- Colored the background by putting down the blue marker on my nonstick mat and picking it up with the colorless blender to give a really subtle background.

I really like the coloring in this card. Simple but very soft and feminin. Well done.
