Hi everyone this is my submition for the Copic OZ challenge. I almost ran out of time but I'm really happy with the result, still room for improvement of course, the photo dosen't really do it justice.
What have I used
The image is a Shirley Wilson image that I sourced from one of her books for folk art. Shirley does some wonderful art work. I had to resize the art work so that I could use it on a card but that was all, so I guess it is the same as digi stamps.
Card:SU Whisper White, Crushed Concord, Pumpkin Pie, and Elegant Eggplant
Ink: SU Crushed Concord, Elegant Eggplant
Stamps: As mentioned above a Shirley Wilson image sourced from her book"PS I Love You" book one by Jean Myers and Shirley Wilson circa 1994
Copic Markers: Just a quick note to tell you how I arrive at my colour combinations. First I print or stamp the image on an A4 sheet of either SU Whisper White or Express It paper and heat set the image if I have printed it. I then grab my Copic colour chart and look to see what colours I need to blend well. I do swatches down the side of the A4 paper and when I have a combination I'm happy with I write the numbers of the markers over the top. It took two goes for the pumpkins and three swatches for the leaves.
Pumpkins;Y21, Y38, YR07, YR04 + E57 for twig arms
Leaves; G85, YG11, YG63, YG91, E05. E95
Hat; C01, C05, C07, C09 + E04 to add a little colour to the hat band.
Embelishments: Kaiser rhinestones orange and black, black and white gingham ribbon (from Crazy Clarks)
Accessories: Cuttlebug embossing folder pumpkins, Spellbinders Boardabuilities die.
Hope this has inspired you to grab your Copic Markers and have a go.
