It's Coloring Time!

Hi all!  It's been a fabulous week of coloring over at Some Odd Girl and I'm the last one up with a Copic tutorial :)  If you're interested in seeing a neat little technique that will help you bridge some of the big color gaps you may have in your markers, especially if you're just starting your collection, and also help with blending then please drop on by the blog.  But wait!  That's not all- I also do a little walk through of how I do some shading of some folds too!  

I hope this was enough of a teaser to get you to pop on over to the SOG blog to check out the video- I'd sure like to see what you think cause this is only my second time trying to color and sound intelligent all at the same time- it's much harder than you may think...or that might just be me :)  But I love hearing what you think and if you have any suggestions.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

An Odd Tutorial

Hi all!  Guess what?  This week at Some Odd Girl the DT is showing all the cool things you can do with digital stamps!  I love my digi's because they are sooo versatile and couldn't wait to share a little tutorial on how to merge digi stamps in Microsoft Word.  I hope that you'll check out my post- the pic above is just a little sneaky peek of the scene I put together that you can check out in it's entirety on the blog :)  Thanks for stopping by to visit and I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Just Going For It- A Coloring Video

Hi All!  So, I've been thinking about doing something for quite some time now but have been a little afraid...but I've decided it's time to just go for it.  So I took a leap of faith and got all my ducks in a row and put together a coloring video!  It's nothing too fancy, and I took the easy way out this first time and just did a speed coloring one so I didn't have to try to talk and color at the same time, lol.  Part of my hesitation is that I have a hard time believing that anyone would even want to watch little old me color so this is kind of a trial run.  Since I'd just colored a 'big head' version of Violet Vintage from Saturated Canary I thought she'd be a great place to start and I wasn't sure how long the video would take me so I only showed how I colored her face.  I really just hope that you like it!  Thanks so much for stopping by and paying me a visit :)
