Morning, Morning!
I am so very happy and excited to announce that I am part of the design team for
Mad Markers! Yay!
Thank you very much Sammi for this opportunity. Perfect timing in my journey of the art world.
Being
part of a design team is an awesome responsibility as you get to design for the artist using their illustrations each month and you get to tell the
world all about it! The best part is meeting LOTS of many wonderfully
talented people. :) LOVE it!
For the last two days I have been working diligently in the
studio on my first two
projects. I am very happy with how they turned out and am very excited
to show you one right now! I absolutely love this Steampunk image Sammi
drew...
Steampunk Brianna! She's perfect! I knew right away what I wanted
to create: a mix media tag. I just wished I had metallic paper in the
studio. LOL thinking...thinking...oh oh! the hamsters in my head are
scurrying now :) I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about how
my tag turned out! My kids were thrilled when they saw it! I don't want
to part with it.
Here is how I made this cute tag. I used a package label for this
project and a slew of distress inks. I will confess now that, yes, I am
an ink addict; I will ink just about anything. I distressed the tag
with various colored distress inks and distress paint to give the tag
texture and a grunge look. The gears, sentiment, and tab are cuts I
bought at
Silhouette to use with my Cameo. (Can't live without it.) To
give these elements more depth I used ink and glitter; sadly the
glitter is not showing on camera, but let me tell you this tag sparkles!
My favorite part of creating any project is using my Copics... I cannot
imagine my world without Copic Sketch. Below is the Copic Color Recipe I
used for
Steampunk Brianna. One more thing, before I forget (and I
nearly forgot :)), I used Copic Spica glitter pens for some added
sparkle. If you haven't seen Spica Glitter pens I highly recommend
checking them out. Like Lays Chips, you can't have just one! One
important tip: unlike the markers Spica must be laid horizontally.
Copics I used;
E30 E50 YR14 YG06 G20 C5
E33 E21 YR16 YG09 G24 C7
E37 R22 YR18 G28 C9
