Snowman - Copic Norway inspiration

 Hi, 

As usual- this advent you can find lots of inspiration for your Christmas cards and other tings over at the Copic Marker Norway blog and Facebook page. 

Today is my turn to inspire you, and I have colored up this adorable snowman from Whimsy stamps. 

When coloring snow it’s still important to add some color to get those light and dark (shades) contrast and also to add some structure. Here I have dotted the markers in the darker areas to get some structure and life to my snowman. 

You can find the colors listed here at the original blogpost to Copic Norge. 

Thanks for stopping by, and create yourself a happy day crafting❤️

Hugs, Christine 

Coffee helps!

Fourth wing - art journal page

 Hi,

So I haven't posted anything in here for a while. Life just been crazy hectic. 

I while ago I coloured up these image as my inspiration on Comic marker Norges Facebook page.

I just finished reading the Fourt Wing series, and Violet was my inspiration colouring up this image from Mariola Burdek. I coloured her up with my Copic markers and the background is made using Distress oxide sprays.

I din`t get to finish my art journal page, perhaps I will some day.

Wedding card -Cherished memories

 Hi,

Today I’m sharing a wedding card that that I made using the beautiful pattern paper from the Cherished memories collection from Craft o’clock. I’ve used the 8*8 pad and some floral ephemera from the same collection. 

On the background I used a stencil from Prima and some modeling paste to add some interest. The layers are popped up for dimension. I also added some beautiful lace and a chipboard heart with a couple as my focal point. 

Sorry, I forgot to take a better picture before handing it over….. 🙈

Celebrate life

 Hi everyone, 

New year, new opportunities and lots of new crafty projects to come. Today we are starting the first challenge of the year over at Copic Marker Norge. This month’s theme is a beautiful moodboard but as usual you can join in as everything goes as well. 

To celebrate the beginning of a new year I made a mixed media tag. I sprayed the background with distress oxide spray and lightly went over with some blues distress ink. I splattered with some water to add some interest to the ba before stamping a background script randomly in distressed oxide ink in faded jeans. I stamped the beautiful intricate snowflake and heat embossed it in white. Went around the edges with the same faded jeans distressed oxide ink as to frame the tag before adding some white splatters.  My focal point image is Aurora Reindeer fra Theeastwind that I colored up with my Copic Markers. 

Colors I used:

Skin: E000-00-21-11-04, BG 11-10

Hair: W3-5-7-9, V01

Outfit: BG70-72-75-78 and R83-85-89

Reindeer: E21-23-25-29 and : E41-42-44

Background: BG0000-000, B000-01-41

Copic Marker Calender

 Hi, 

It`s time for CMN Christmas calender, and today it`s my turn.

I have made two rosettes that can be used as gift tags, or you can use them as Christmas decoration. 

These are approx. 12 and 14 cm in diameter

The cute little bird is from Conie Fong Art while the unicorn is from Papirdesign.

What I like about rosettes is that you can use up your leftovers from your pattern paper that may not be large enough to use  for other projects. For the largest rosette, you`ll need a 2 1/4 inch wide strip that is 16" long. I have used two 8" strips and on the blue I used a 12" and a 6". Use an edge punch one one side and fold mountain and valley folds. I have scored at every 1/4 inch. Gather the end and shape into a circle. Glue down the inner ends of the rosette to a circle. Glue down your ribbon under the circle on the back. I also punched out a smaller circle in white for the backside with space to write names or a short personal message on.

 Copic colors I used:

Christmas bird:

Grey: W0,T1,T3,T5,T7,T9 and 100 Black

Red: R00, R01, R20, R22, R24, R46, R59 and C 5 to deepen the shades

Fur on hat: W0, W1, W3 og 0 Blender

Leaves: G21, YG 25, YG67, G28

Snow: BG0000, B000, B02

Feet: YR24, YR27 og E09

Stickles and white paint in dots

Unicorn:

Hat: B21, B24, B28, B29

Mane: B01, B21, B24 Noen steder har jeg brukt V01 

Fur: W0, E41, W1

Pink: RV21, RV23, RV 25

Green: YG67
