Conie Fong: Just Like Daddy

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you had an awesome Christmas! Ours has been relaxing and fun. I'm back today featuring a boy card with this adorable image from Conie Fong called Just Like Daddy. This cutie reminds me so much of my son when he was younger!

Make it Crafty: Fairy Bauble Coloring Class!

Happy Saturday everyone! It’s Rosie here today. I’m always talking about the amazing Coloring Tutorials on the Make it Crafty website and how beneficial they are to improving your coloring skills. I’ve taken the skin and hair ones previously and they are valuable resources! These classes are very affordable and provide so much step-by-step instruction that you will be coloring like a pro in no time. Zoe also started a new site called The Coloring Lab. There is a FREE class on the site now that is fantastic for beginners, but also a great refresher for those who are advanced. It’s definitely worth watching!

I finally tackled the FAIRY BAUBLE CLASS that I mentioned a few weeks ago, and it was a lot of fun! You can purchase the class now, and make this amazing card over the weekend to surprise someone special. I turned it into a card, but I think this would also look amazing framed! I didn’t list the colors below because they are part of the class, so be sure to sign up and color up this cutie this weekend!

I changed up her hair color from the class, and also used a teal blue combo for her wings and shirt. But that’s the great thing about coloring with any medium. If you don’t have the colors listed for the class, just use a different combo from the markers you have.

I love the different techniques taught in this class especially the bokeh background effect.

We can’t wait to see what you create! And please, come share in the Make it Crafty Facebook Group. We would love to see your creations!

Hugs,
Rosie

C.C. Designs: Rocker Boys

I LOVE the Rocker Boys from C.C. Designs! The Rocker Boys were released in clear as part of the DECEMBER RELEASE and are available for purchase now. Be sure to head over to the C.C. Designs Store to pick up yours today!

 

 

This handsome guy is one of my faves from this set because he's so versatile. Plus I love coloring his hair!

 

Copics: 

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11, E15

Hair: C2, C7, Black

Shirt: R24, R27, R29, R37, R89

Pants: C5, C6, C7, Black

Shoes: R27, R29, R39, C2, C3, C7

Plaid: R27, R39, C5, Black

 

When I want to make quick cards, I find paper that has a scene already printed on it. Then I add a character that coordinates with the scene. I found this awesome paper in the Simple Stories Very Merry 6x8 Paper Pad with an old-timey truck and knew this Rocker Boy would be a perfect fit. I trimmed the decorative paper to 5 1/4 x 7 1/2. The red cardstock was trimmed to 8 1/2 x 7 3/4, and folded in half.

 

 

If you're in a time crunch, just search your paper pads for some already printed scenes. I think adding a cute character to the scene just takes it up another notch! Be sure to head over to the C.C. Designs Store and grab your favorites!

Have an awesome day!
