New tutorial at Tiffany Doodles.  This one is an embossed image on Matte gel medium.  It turned out pretty nicely.

There is a brand new tutorial over at the Tiffany Doodle’s blog.  Tiffany started the year off strong with 5 brand new sets and in months to come she is going to keep them coming.  To see how I created my card and colored the flowers check in at the Tiffany Doodle’s blog!

I have another new tutorial out this week.  This time over at Get It Scrapped.  Make sure to pop by and check it out.  It also gives you a great idea what my new class is all about.  Creations By Hand starts next Wednesday the 11th!  You still have time to jump over to Creative Passion and join my class to learn a pile of fun new techniques.

My newest tutorial should be up today or tomorrow at Tiffany Doodles.  I used one of Tiffany’s brand new sets “Sweet Bluebird“.  Make sure to stop by and check it out!

My latest tutorial is up at Tiffany Doodles.  You will have to stop by there to get all the fun details and check out the latest monthly deals on digitals.

Good morning all!  I am so excited to have you stopping by for my fun new images and some Copic “how to” to go along with one of them.  I am assuming a lot of you are stopping by from Amy Kingsford’s wonderful blog.  But if you are just peeking in and discovering this post make sure to head her way next!  Amy is hosting a 12 Days of Christmas Blog Grand Opening.  She has all sorts of great ideas and fun holiday inspiration going on right now!  If you pay close attention she even has lots of prizes up for grabs!

I have three images to share with you, all with a holiday feel, the presents could certainly be used elsewhere.

Here is a PDF to get the images for yourself

Please make sure to refer people back to my blog if you share my images on one of your projects.  I would love to see what you come up with so make sure to hook me up with a link!  I have not had time to play with the stocking yet but I am planning on coloring the sock and adding some sort of fluff to the top edge.  The bow I colored with Copics and added to a Christmas layout that is ready to hold pictures and have finishing touches added.

 With the presents I created a little card that already has been mailed off to a sweet friend.  But if you are interested in the “how to” here you go:

Supplies Used -

• Cardstock – Bazzill Basics-White, Core’dinations and X-Press It Blending card for the image
• Twine – Doodlebug Design’s – Santa’s Workshop
• Patterned Paper – Doodlebug Design’s – Santa’s Workshop
• Tag – Walmart
• Pearls – Elements by Mark Richards
• Copic Markers – RV63, RV66, YG11, YG13, BG11, BG13

I made the card base with the Core’dination cardstock.  I cut it down to 5 1/2 x 11” and then scored and folded it in half.  I sanded the edges of the front and then adhered my white cardstock that is cut to 5 x 5”.  I cut my green patterned paper to 4 3/4 x 3” and my pink to 4 3/4 x 2 and adhered these to my card overlapping them slightly.  I wrapped three strands of twine from the inside of the card to the outside and tied a small bow with the tag tied into the bow as well.  I stamped the small tag with it’s greeting and added one small pearl that I colored with my BG13 Copic.  I added my pearls all around the border of the pink then added a pop dot under the tag to adhere it.  To finish I colored the image and  popped it up on the card as well.  Here are the coloring directions:

Step #1 – Color in the left box and the far right bow with BG11.

Step #2 – Using BG13 add shading to both areas.

Step #3 – I used my BG11 to smooth the blending and then colored the right box and middle bow with RV63.

Step #4 – Add shading in these two areas with RV66.

Step #5 – Blend the RV66 in with your RV63 and then add YG11 to the middle box and left bow.

Step #6 – Add shading to the box and bow with your YG13.

Step #7 – Blend the colors together using YG11.  Your image is ready to fussy cut and pop dot onto your card!
