Coloring With Copics - Two Scoops Rice Designs Kokeshi Doll

I start off by outlining the edges of the her hair with 2 different colors E79 and E99 (1 light the other dark):


I apply those same colors to my palette - see where it shows E99 and E79 - I am using E50 to "lift" the colors to it's tip:


Go back to the image with the tip of E50 holding the color that I'm going to blend - E99 and then E79:

Completed blend will look like so:

I colored face with E50, and did some shading under hair line,a nd side of face. R27 for lips, earrings, and dress, 100 for her eyes. Image is completed.

Coloring With Copics - High Hopes' Froggy Gift

Image: Froggy Gift of High Hopes Stamps

I colored the jump suit first, using a dark color blue (B05) n' a lighter blue (BG10) & blend:

Now the frog....
Now his shirt (notice how I always have 1 darker, and the other lighter), makes a better blend.

His hat:

Colored his skin with E50, and then added shadows with E33....

After blending, the shadow lines are less dominant, and now actually look like shadings instead!!
Image is ready for it's card. =0)

Coloring With Copics - Pretty Head Rachel from The Greeting Farm

The 3 colors I 1st work with....

Using E95, I colored her entire head of hair....
And I accidentally put a dot on her eyelid. But I leave it... because I will be able to cover it up later.
I then start coloring in some highlights into her ha
When done, it looks like this...
Then I take E95 again, and blend the dark in....
I think here, I realize that I didn't like the 1st dark color I chose - so I went with E09 for another look (love that Copics will blend away the old color, and bring in the NEW).....
Love this darker color ... and then again, blend with E95
No for her face... I start with E01 - here's where I feel like I'm applying makeup.
I color her entire face, and then shadow with E33 the parts where her bangs and hair is on her face.
You can see that E33 is a dominant line there.... so gotta blend it in, I use E01 to do the trick.... remember - small circular motions when blending in....
This pic shows that I'm almost done, already added the other colors. Her face just needs a little more blending.... as you can see, the "dot" mistake I did earlier, is already gone.... AND I've added a lil' mole to the right of her lips because she looks more sassy like that. Hah!!
Right here... it's all done n' ready for my project!!!

Mini Post It Note Cover

Stamp image...

Color image.... I used these copic colors:

Measure the notepad (3" x 4")"


Measure it's thickness using the Scor-Pal, I found 2 score lines that were about the width of the notepad.

Cut flap for the top (3" x 2-3/4") n' score 2 lines (the width of the notepad). This is the flap that will go over the top, and cover the "spine" of the notepad.

Cut 2 brown card stock pieces, 1 for back of notepad, and the other for the front. Add double stick tape in all the right places, and adhere.

Notepad is ready for some embellishments:

Embellished with Dew Drops, and Stickles..... n' my lil notepad creation is done!!!
