Hi there M4M Copic Lovers!!!! An absolute feast of pinkness for you today.... I have used a limited edition digi lil lolita image from Tickled Pink Stamps for this card coloured with my beloved copics and teamed with papers from a digi kit from Scraporchard.

PAPERIFIC

Good evening! I am checking in after Paperific! with couple of things to share! :D
Firstly - as promised at the show - here are the posters I made up for our stall that show ideas for colouring Skin and Hair with Copics...





The images I used for these posters were ones I had purchased from The Greeting Farm! I LOVE TGF stamps as they are GREAT for doing skin and hair - such fun to colour!

Paperific was AMAZING! Although VERY tiring too LOL! I was not sure how it would go but we had LOTS of wonderful people come through the stall.. THANKS to EVERYONE who came and said hello and came and bought stuff from our stall!

I am so thankful

to my sister - Nic for coming with me to help out every day!! She worked incredibly hard and I could not have done it without her!

and also my AMAZING DT girls from Melbourne...

Tracey

was wonderful, firstly ... in letting me sell her stamps - Spesch stamps on the stall - They were a great addition - those stamps are wonderful to colour and in the photos I'm posting below they are the ones used for the enlarged images! She was also invaluable in helping set up, pack up and manage the stall on Manic Friday)! Awesome to meet her and thankful for the lifts she gave us too!!

Annette and her lovely daughter Rosanna

were amazing on Saturday - was such a pleasure to meet them and have them in the stall helping out, selling, colouring and answering people's Copic questions!!

Emma

It was so good to meet her IRL and she brilliant on Sunday with her colouring demos - showing many people how to colour in lovely hair and pretty PINK!!! :D

Marcia from The Stamp Spot was also wonderful sending me some of her stock - Discounted stamps to sell on the store! THANKS Marcia! It was good to be able to have some more stamps people could get to use their newly bought Copics on! Many people also appreciated the discount coupons she sent!!

I could go on... but I will show you some piccies of the stall and then sign off... there will be some more piccies on my personal blog during the week!

This is what the stall looked like when we arrived...

Tracey and I on the Thursday... prior to setting up...
then some pics of the stall set up!

It was also really great to meet Mandi - one of Copic's Australian Certified Regional Instructors - she was running Copic classes at the show which we kept hearing were wonderful! Thanks also to Mandi for dropping off some extra things we needed on the Sat!! :D


and then a shot of the stall all packed up... THANKS to all those who enabled us to send much less home than we brought!! :D

Our colouring Pink challenge continues this week.. looking forward to catching up on all the entries now I'm back home!

You Gotta love Pink!

Hi There, Emma here with some not so Pink inspiration for you! The reason behind my not so pink inspiration is my 15 month old little boy! I did have a very nice Pink colored card to share with you, but I left it on desk last night so that I could photograph it today and of course one of the first things my little man did this morning was climb onto my desk and get my copics out and start coloring! I think I may have another copic lover in the family...hehe! So needless to say he wrecked my card and I have had to go with another card that I had just about finished, which happen to have little bit of pink on it. So I am sorry for the lack of Pink and will make sure next week I will have a lot more Pink! So the moral of the story is, NEVER leave your card on your desk when little people  can get to it. You live and learn...hehe!

So of course I had to try and make Lilith all sweet in a pink dress.. but clearly she isn't happy!.. Rather sulky looking... mmm reminds me of my daughter... anyway, enough rambling. As always I am amazed by the talent of Sammi's DT and are stunned that I am on it! Can't wait to see who's next!

Pink, Pink, Pink!!!

Good morning ... I am loving all this pink! So very sweet!!

The DT have been creating some gorgeous pink coloured work for you and I can't wait to see what you all create as well. Below is my PINK creation that I have put together - inspired by this fortnights inspiration over at The Lollipop Ladies... pop on over and join us - It's lots of FUN!! and an added bonus - you might win a $10 M4M voucher!

Now back to our colouring Pink....

The image is a CREEPY CAKES digi from The Greeting Farm!!

The colours?? Well there are a LOT ... I used nearly ALL my Pinks (Rs and RVs) ...

E000, E00, E11, Rv10, RV02, 04, 06,09, R81, 83, 85, RV10, 13, 14, 17, 19, 25, E33, E35

oh and the doiley is airbrushed with RV06

A couple of tips on colouring PINK.... sometimes the R and RV markers will bleed out (more than other colours .. soaking through the paper more quickly). So you do not need to put as much ink on your paper... try colouring with quick strokes instead of lots of circles if you are having problems. Also... using a good quality blending cardstock such as the Xpress IT blending card will help! If you are having troubles with cardstock leave a message here and I will send you a small sample of Xpress IT card so you can try it out :D

Lil Lolita in Pink

Hi Louise here with my first card for this months M4M colouring pink challenge. I have used a Lil Lolita image for this card as I thought she would look just FABULOUS in pink and I was right, she does.

Her hair is Y04, Y21, Y23, & YR24
Eyes are B04 & B06
Boots and Belt are C3, C7 & C9

I have added Glossy Accents to her boots, belt and eyes and have used clear spica on her dress and headband to give it sparkle, it hasn't shown up very well in the picture but it is there.

Hope you will join in this challenge with us. I loved making this card as those who know me would have expected.... just colour me PINK!

Scrapping Saturday

Finally Im here to share my scrapping saturday with you... with the nice weather outside today who could resist sitting out in the sun... so sorry for the delay...

So here it is... today i thought i would try something different to show you... We have all probably got some sort of die cutting machine at home either a cuttlebug or some other type....well im a huge gadget girl LOL... I love my die cutting machines and my favourite of all would be my Silhouette Machine.... This machine is awesome it cuts anything that you want eg. Fonts, shapes anything....

So today i thought why not try and colour my own die cut shapes to match my papers....so using my copic paper that i have i ran that through my Silhoutte machine to cut out my banner that you see across the bottom of the photos and also the "Beautiful" title was cut as well....

I then grabbed my copics and coloured them in... the title is coloured in with my new addiction the Spica pens...just that added bling makes all the difference....

Here is my page

With the banner i coloured that in with my pens again using the spica pen to add bling to the string part of the banner... I then took my colourless blender and added dots to each triangle on the banner... such a cute effect and so easy to do.....

Here are some close up shots of my page....Copics used: R46,RV04, 0, Spica pens: Pink,Lipstick and MultiLiner .5

Thanks hope your all enjoying your weekend

Pink Color Combinations with Emma

Happy Friday Everyone! Emma here with some Pink color combos to share with you. I have to say that my absolute favourite color is Pink, so I tend to reach for my Pink Copics more than any other color. Then I got thinking about all the different Pink combinations there are, now I know that there are more than I am going to show you and if you have a different combination that you use, then I would love to know what it is! 

So below I have created a few samples to show you:

Thursday's Hair Colored with:

RV09, RV06, RV04, RV02

  Mermaid Anya's Hair Colored with:

R81, R83, R85, 0

Tilda's Jumpsuit colored in:

R11, R000, E04

Pinto Pony's Hair colored in:

RV10, RV02, RV00

Pinto Pony's Ribbon colored in :

RV09, RV06, RV04, RV02, RV00

Tilda's dress colored in:

RV29, RV25, RV23, RV10

So there you have a few different Pink color combinations that you can use with your Copics. Hope they inspire you to use a different Pink combination than you would normally use or if you don't tend to reach for the Pink Copics, maybe this will inspire you to give them a go. You can't go past a good Pink colored image...hehe!

Don't forget that Tomorrow is your last day to enter into our Coloring White competition!

Have a great weekend coloring!

Dec 25

Good morning Copic lovers. Hope you are all well on this fabulous Thursday. Yes I am in a super duper mood. Thursday is not only my M4M post day but also my day off from my three kids. LOL.

I thought I would get a head start on my Christmas cards this year and bought myself some Lili of the Valley xmas stamps and this is one of them. Isn't he just the cutest. I decided to give him a fur look. Hope you get some inspiration from my card.

Tip for colouring 'fur': Make sure your fur strokes barely touch the card otherwise your lines will be too thick.

Copics used:

Hat & ribbon: R20, R22, R24, R27

Fur: E50, 51, 53, 55

White: C1, C0, Blender

Shading around image: B000, B0000.

Tilda hits the boutiques

Good morning Copic lovers. It is Kylie here with a Magnolia card to show you.

I have used Shopping Tilda and Boutique Window from the new Magnolia Stamps Bon Voyage collection.

I have used Copic colours:

Tilda -
Hair: E 30, 31, 34, Y 28, Y26
Skin: E 000, 00, 11, 13, 93 (cheeks)

Now don't forget that you only have until Saturday to enter our colouring White challenge!!!

The Stamp Spot

Good morning everyone, I hope that you had a good weekend!
We have one week left of our colouring white challenge... so get your entries in.

Today I am sharing a card I made for The Stamp Spot using a beautiful Stamping Bella image and some gorgeous papers that Marcia is selling in her store


Want to win a little prize?? Guess the colours used... anyone can do this and the most correct will be sent a little prize ... DT can also enter if they like.

Vintage Magnolia

I decided to do a vintage card using my distress inks around the outside and using my beloved copics to colour the image in soft pinks. Over the voil on her dress I used white Perfect Pearls. When this is used with light coloured copics, it really stands out as white and shimmery.. although it takes a bad photo and you cant see it!!. I love how this card turned out.

Have a great weekend and see you next week!

Quick & Easy, Fast & Simple

A super simple card for you this week and a technique ANYONE with copics can do with no training or lessons....... colouring paper flowers to match your card. Simple dimple, just use the brush tip to either colour completely, as shown on the bottom cream flower (E50) or touch the tip lightly and brush outwards as shown on the top blue flower (E15) to just highlight certain areas of the flower.

This is fantastic when you just don't have the "perfect" coloured flower!
