Teddy Bo & Co. Blowing Bubbles Card

Hello and welcome here!  It's my turn to share some Teddy Bo & Co. inspiration with you.  The image of Bea is from the August Membership pack.

 Card Size:  5" x 7"

I coloured Bea blowing bubbles with Prismacolor Pencils.  I finished the card off with Heartfelt Creations Eyelet Oval die and the corners are from Cuttlebug.

I used Nuvo Crystal Clear drops to fill in the bubbles to make them shine like real bubbles would.

Prismacolor Pencils Used:

Fur - 1034, 943, 945, 1082, 947

Muzzle - 917, 1034, 1033

Overalls - 938, 956, 1008, 932, 132

Shirt - 1059, 1060, 1061

Hat - 938, 1014, 1018, 1017

Bubbles - 916, 912, 1040, 133, 993

Bottle - 912, 909

Ground - 1052

Sky - 1087

I took a few picture of the how I build up my layers.

The first layer I lightly colour in the highlights, the medium color and where the darkest colour will go.

 The second layer I lightly colour again, building on what I laid down the first time.  It's still easy to make adjustments to colour if necessary.

The third layer I again is about laying the colour down and blending the different browns together.  I didn't like how the highlight on the toe was turning out so I adjusted it by adding a bit of darker brown into it.  You can see the difference in the photo below.

The fourth layer is continuing adding colour, blending as you change colours.  I continued to add colour until I reach the darkest colour of each pencil crayon.

Teddy Bo & Co. Throwback to the 50s

Hello and welcome here!   Just popping in to share my latest Teddy Bo & Co. card, it's Bea from the 50s, it's part of the June membership pack.  You can check out the action over on the Teddy Bo Facebook page!

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I coloured Bea and the jukebox using Prismacolor pencils.  I decided to keep the background to the card simple so that it didn't outshine the image.  I even paper pieced the border on the wall.  Instead of making a larger card to put my image on I chose to keep the card base small so that it had a more 3D effect...and I think it really showcases the image.

 Recipe:  Prismacolor Pencils (I had started a list of the colours I used but then when I got to the jukebox I forgot to keep track, oops.)  Bazzill CS-white, black & turquoise, Teddy Bo Digital Image June Membership, Foam Squares, Glitter CS.

Enjoy,

Teddy Bo and Co. Bea

Hello and welcome here!  Just a quick post to share my latest Teddy Bo & Co. card, it's Bea from the June membership pack.  You can check out the action over on the Teddy Bo Facebook page!

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I coloured Bea with copics.  Do you know how hard it is to shade lightly, lol?  I tend to go with the darker colours because it's easier for shading, but no, not this time.  I wanted to work with a soft pink colour and even though I got frustrated with the shading, I think it turned out quite nice.

Copics Used:

Fur - E21, E33, E51, E57, E59

Shirt/Hat - RV0000, RV00, RV32, C1

Flowers - B91, B93, B95, B97, G07, G19

Background - E50

Teddy Bo & Co. May Inspiration with Bea

Hello and welcome here!  It's time to share some Teddy Bo & Co. inspiration.  This time I have a discovery I want to share with you.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

 

There was some conversation going on on the DT about whether or not you could watercolour a digital image.  If you can get your paper to go through your printer it might just work.  Here's what I did...I printed my image on watercolour paper, let it dry overnight and then hit it with my heat tool for added measure.  I didn't have any issue with the ink bleeding.  I have a Hewlett Packard inkjet printer, I had to help the paper get started feeding but once it started it was fine...I used Strathmore 140lb paper.  

 I used Distress Inks to colour my image.

Distress Inks Used:

Dress - Tattered Rose & Wild Honey

Fur - Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo & Wild Honey

Flowers - Faded Jeans

Background - Pumice Stone

Recipe:  Paper-not sure, sorry:(, My Favorite Things Inside/Out Stitched Ovals, Spellbinders Lacey Ovals, Lawn Fawn Stitched Scalloped Borders, Bazzill CS-Mocha Divine, Strathmore Watercolour Paper Cold Press 140lb., Distress Inks, Foam Squares, Flowers.

Enjoy,
