Make A Card Monday with Susan

Hi Everyone!! I'm Susan Kennedy and I am so happy to be able share with you on Make A Card Monday! This is my first blog post as a Whiff of Joy DT Member and I couldn't be more excited! I think I may be in shock still about making the team! LOL! So here is the card I'm going to share with you today:

I stared at this card for so long trying to figure out what was missing.. the buttons on the left weren't there.. it was this open space and I was at a loss! So, I reached out to a wonderful friend, Crafting Vicky and she helped me figure out what was missing! Thank you Vicky!! :)

I colored the image with my Prismacolor pencils and used Gamsol as well. I love how it takes the pencil and makes it easy to add shading. It's really fantastic!

If you know me at all then you will know that one of my favorite techniques and the technique that shows up on almost all of my cards is decoupage. I love to fussy cut all the little pieces and give the image dimension. I just think it brings it to life! I love it! I used Pilot Henry for this card and I popped several pieces of him. I think the only not fussy cut at least once was his feet and tail LOL!   I hope you enjoy the card!

For this card I used:

Colouring with Copics and Prisma Colour Pencils...

 

 

Morning all...Vicky here today to share with some colouring tips on how I use my Copics and Prisma Pencils together...plus I also be showing you a gorgeous project the lovely and very talented Maria has made too..

 

and here is the card I have made with the combination of Copics and Prisma Pencils..

 

 

and here is how I coloured this adorable image

 Simply Maya "Tea Party"..

 

 

I first coloured the image using my Copics...you can see I have achieved some shading...but not very intense like the finished card..

 

 

I then used my pencils to add some shading around the image...

 

 

Then I have used paper stumps {you can see they are well used..lol.} in a circular motion to blend in the lines by using a low odour Solvent like Sansodor.

 

You can see from the finished image, the shading is more intense and I feel it gives a better overall appearance...

 

and here are the Copics I used..

 

 

and the pencils..

 

 

and another good tip is to make sure your pencils are kept sharp...!!

 

and here is the finished card again..

 

 

Items Used..

and now I'm going to share with you a beautiful project the lovely Maria has made..

 

 

Hello everyone,

I have a fun card for you today. I made a telescope card, because is really interesting to change the shape of your regular base cards.

To me the main focal point is the stamped image, must be the key to my project. For this I use Inktense pencils for my coloring. If you ever used watercolor pencils then you can work with these pencils. They are awesome quality, but they are much more intense than regular watercolor pencils. If you have a small set of pencils/markers, then don't worry. You can get the same effect by using one or two pencils/ markers. The key is to give some time to your first layer of color to dry and then add more using the same pencil/marker. This will make the color look darker/ intense.

 

 

 

 

 

Whiff of Joy products I used for this card:

Ground shading using Pencils & Stickles....

Morning all.....

Vicky here today and this month I'm going to let you into my little secret how I do ground shading...lots of fellow crafters have asked me how I do it...so here goes...and it's sooooo simples..lol..!

These are the items I will be using..

Sansodor Low Odour Solvent

Black Prismacolour Pencil

Stickles in Stardust

Paper Stub

I colour my chosen image in first...today I have used one of the new Digi Stamps from the Wedding collection "Groom Henry & Ring Bearer" which was released this month..

Then using my black Prismacolour pencil I add some shading beneath my image as shown above..

I then use my paper stub by dipping the end into the Sansodor and gently blending in the colour as you can see above...

I then attach the image to my card/project then add the stickles...be careful not to add loads...just enough to add a tad of sparkle by going over all the black pencil...simples...!

and here is my finished tag..

For more information please pop over to my blog here..

Thank you for stopping by...hope you like my very quick and simple tutorial..

and have a lovely day too...

big hugs Vicky xx

Shading with Prismacolour Pencils...

 

 Hi Lori here with a few tips on adding some shadows using prisma colour pencils. 

I will be using the new Fireman Henry from Whiff of Joy and the great sketch is the current WOJ challenge head over and check it out! The  Pennant Die is also from Whiff of Joy!

First off I start by stamping my image in Memento black ink onto cardstock. I use X-press it Blending card as it works great with copics and is really easy to blend the prismacolour pencils as well.

 

 I start by colouring my image with copics.  I use Stampin' Up Chalks and Q-tips to rub on the cheeks.

Time to start shading the hose. I am using a Dark Cool Grey Pencil.

 

 I pencil in some colour along the bottom edges of the hose where I would like the shadows to be. This doesn't have to be perfect, we will blend in the next step.

 My favourite blending technique is using blending stumps as shown. I have a little plastic container with a sponge and some baby oil. I dip the tip of the stump on the sponge to pick up some of the baby oil.

 Next working in a circular motion I start at the bottom and blend the colour outwards. 

 Next I want to add some shading to the Fire Hydrant. I am using Tuscan Red. I am only laying the colour down on the one side where I would like the shadow. 

 Next continue blending with the same technique as before. I use a different stump when I switch colours. 

Next I added some shading to Henry's Coat and Hat. I used a Warm Brown Pencil.

 

 Blend it in so it has a smoother finish.

 I always use my pencils for making my ground shadows.  Here using a warm grey I sketch around the base of the stamp.

 Next blend it in for a smooth finish.

 If you would like a shadow around your image lightly go completely around the image using a warm grey pencil.  You can really use any colour, even blue if you would like a sky look. Feel free to play around and add more or less depth as you feel necessary. For this stamp I didn't add any shadows to Henry's fur. If I was to I would use a dark brown colour in the same way as the rest of the shading.  I finished off adding a few highlights with a white gel pen. (see top photo)

 Copics and Pencils used. 

These are just some of the ways I like to colour. Always experiment with your supplies, it is so fun!

Polyshrink colored with Polychromos

Good morning to you all!!! 

Here is Giò........ today I want to show you how realize some delicious charms for your jewels.

The technique is the Polyshrink colored with Polychromos.

It is simple and fast and you don't need to be good in coloring so this is a technique that everybody can try.

This is the list of supplies you will need:

Polyshrink

Sand Block

Stamps I used  
Penguin Love
 Birdie Love     
Penguin Trio

Staz On Ink

Polychromos

Johnson's baby oil or if you prefer Mineral  Oil

Scissor

Heat tool

Diamond Glaze or other gloss

First of all you need to sand the Polyshrink surface, in this way the ink will adhere it better.

With Staz On stamp your image on Polyshrink.

 You can color with Polychromos as you prefer, I usually use at least two colors
to take depth to the image.....

 Continue to color and don't exaggerate, remember that when Polyshrink reduce
themselves the colors saturate.

Now with a stump wet with oil blend the colors as they merge in.

 Cut the image carefully.

Punch the top and don't use a too small punch because the hole will grow smaller.

Heat the Polyshrink with the heat tool that will grow smaller. As you heat it the piece will crumple.....
don't be afraid, it will be normal again at the end of the process......

Then to help yourself you can put an acrylic block as you turn the heat tool off.

To protect and polish the surface use a gloss.

Here are my charms ready..... aren't they too cute?

I realized a bracelet, but you can also realize earrings, necklaces and more else!!!

I really hope that this way to use the stamps will like you and my tutorial will be helpful.

Thanks for stopping by

Giò
