I Vant to Tell You...

I have been playing with Copic markers. Oh my! I feel another addiction coming on. Or maybe, I just finally found the medium that will mix with my digital art as well. The best of both worlds!

This is what I started with:

Halloween Kids - Black and White Line Drawings

I printed out the witch, owl, and vampire onto Bristol paper. I colored them using a Copic set of 12.

I watched a few videos on YouTube. Asked some questions on the Copic marker Yahoo group (great group of very helpful people!) And then I played. And played some more :)

After I finished coloring them, I cut them out (the ink bled a little with the paper I used, so it helped to trim them up, and I like to cut. Those Cutter Bee scissors are my favorite tool.)

Lastly, I took those little cuties and I made cards with them. The owl is my favorite. I might have to make a whole set of just owls :)

I listed them in my shop.

I have a million more ideas to color...and I need to buy some more markers. Hmmm. Road trip to the big city, maybe :)

Happy Friday,

Aww Poop!

I don't think that will be worn out any time soon. Makes me giggle each time I say it (and see it written with a fuzzy monster!).

Time for something different. A quick how to with two of my newest sets, and some cardstock. A mini tutorial for you.


Supply list:

• Cardstock
• Pattern papers (theme of your choice...Halloween, Bright, Birthday, etc.)
• Glue Stick
• Scissors
• Favorite Black Ink Pen
• 3D adhesive dots
• ink pad (optional)

Start by printing out the Monsters and Halloween Eyes. I resized mine to between 1-2 inches. The eyeballs are about an inch wide. I printed one of each so I could cut out extra pieces to "pop" with the 3D dots. Your choice.

After you print them and cut them out, ink around the edges if you want. Pop dot extra pieces if you decided to cut them out as well. Here are mine:

Next. Cut your cardstock to the card size you want to create. I cut mine 6 in. by 9 in. When folded, they are 6 in. wide by 4.5 in. tall. Decorate with pattern papers, brads, eyeballs, and monsters.

See!! It sticks with you doesn't it. Makes you giggle, and want to repeat it :)

And the others:

So? Are those creative juices flowing now? Ready to go create something? Well get going then!

Be sure and come back here to post images of your fun creations.

Don't feel like making them yourself? Prefer premade...you can get these here.

Have a great weekend!!
