Dustin Pike's Newly Released


Hello there,
.
July 28th, I went to a Copics certification class!! Wow, did I learned a lot of new stuff about the Copics. I colored many images with the Copics I had, and I have finally put one of them to a card. Now, I know everyone likes my use of Prismacolor Pencils and OMS, but I wanted to broaden my choice of mediums to use in coloring. I will continue to use my pencils and OMS, but sometimes I will change it up, and use my Copics.
.
This is for today's Featured Stamper 131 Joanne(SleepyinSeattle). I chose this card to CASE.
.
I kept her same basic layout and the idea of placing brads on the tree for decorations, but pretty much changed everything else.
I changed the colors and the stamped images.
I added two metallic gold layers.
I changed the snowflake circles to stars.
And I took away the Build-a-brads.
I also added demensionals to make it pop up.
.
This is also for Pile It On and 2 Red Bananas challenges. They both challenged us to use only cardstock, no DP. Along with the only cardstock, 2 Red Bananas wanted us to use only one type of embellishment. We could use however much of the embellishment, but only one type. I chose brads, of course.
.
My main images is a newly released digital image from Dustin Pike. It was released along with 10 other images on Thursday, August 6th. Again, it is colored with Copics markers. I used a black SU! Marker for the sentiment.
.
What do y'all think?

  10. Great card! We sat together at the Copic Certification class and I wanted to tell you that I did look up your tutorial on the coloring with pencils. It is really fantastic! I learned a lot -- especially about shading! I need to sit down and try it again. Thanks :)
