Anything Goes

Hi Everyone,

As you know the new challenge is ........Anything Goes.

I must admit that it is fantastic to see so many entries so far.

Please don't hesitate to join in the fun as there is still plenty of time.

I started to colour the image at the Penrith Paper crafts Festival a couple of weeks ago & decided to use it.

The image needed a matching background so I had a play with my reinkers & this is what I came up with. I hope it inspires you to have a play with the Copic Reinkers.

Copics Used:

T0 to T10

RV00

BGO00, BG01, BG02, BG05

YR02, YR04, YR07

Clear Spica

Background: Reinkers BG01, BG02, BG05, BG07

Others:

Crackle Paint - Rock Candy

Kaisercraft Letter stickers

Don't forget to stop by the Mad for Markers Online Store for all your copic needs.

Mad For Markers is participating in the 'Rewards System' to help celebrate 20 years of Copics in Australia.

Until next time

New Challenge - Anything Goes

Hi Copic Lovers,

Alicia here, to start us off on a fresh, new, fortnightly challenge:

Anything Goes.

I made this card for my cousin Caitlin who was sitting her HSC this term.

I wanted to let her know we were wishing her well and supporting her through her exams.

I used this cute little Some Odd Girl stamp called "Thinking Mae".

I purchased her through Sammi and you can buy her here.

The sentiment comes with the stamp.  Which I think is a great bargain for just $9.

She is fun and easy to colour.  Her hair is quite a simple style .

These are the Copics I used:

Purples: BV08, V17, V15

Skin: E00, E21, E11

Blacks: 100, C7, C5

Greens: G17, G05, Go2

Outline: C1

The papers were all out of my scrap drawer.  I added a lilac bow and some gems and glitter to finish it all off.

Are you going to join in our Anything Goes challenge this week?

No excuses really...link up a card or project you have made with Copics.

I cant wait to see what you create!

Alicia xx

Make A Wish

Hi Everyone

How's your sanity holding up??? I hope you are not all getting too stressed out in the final run to Christmas Day. It's all very exciting though isn't it, I just love Christmas.

You know what is even more exciting though??? It's my Dad's birthday, 74 today!! Love you Dad!!

And guess what............he is coming home from the rehab centre tomorrow (well that's the plan) 10 weeks after he had his stroke. I can't tell you how thrilled we all are!! I just wish I could be there to spend Christmas Day with them but that's life.

Well, enough of my waffling on, it's time for me to share my card with you for the current Mad For Markers challenge - Anything Goes.

Now just to clarify, no this isn't my Dad's birthday card ,lol!

I did managed to get his card off to him in time this year! What a terrible time to have a birthday I reckon, must have been a real bummer when he was a kid.

I have used one of Mo's gorgeous images and the following Copics to colour

Skin - E000, E00, E11 and R20

Clothes - R81, R83, R85 and C1

Hair - E25, E29 and E53

Grass - YG91

I have also used a flourish (Jessie, White) from Flourish with a Bling that you can get from Sammi at the Mad For Markers store.

At first I left the flourish white but it just didn't seem right so I coloured it with my YG91 (except for when I picked up the wrong marker and coloured one leaf with YG93 and then tried to fix it, Oh no! don't look too close lol).

These flourishes are just fantastic. They are self adhesive and come in a range of colours. You can use the whole flourish on your project or cut them to suit as I did with my card. Very versatile!
 

For all your Copic and related supplies head on over to Mad For Markers online store.

Mad For Markers post to Australia and New Zealand and stock a large range of Copic Markers, Blending Card, Masking Paper etc.

You can also check out the store blog and challenge blog for tips, tutorials and inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by

Christmas Gift Box

Hello Copic fan’s!

I hope your all ready for the jolly fat man in the big red suit! I love Christmas but, it is always a relieve when it is over lol.

Anyway today is Wednesday and I’d love to share my latest Copic creation with you all. Remember the Mad for Marker’s challenge is “Anything Goe’s”, which I have to admit is always my favourite lol. I have to say I absolutely love my Copic creation today. It started out as a Kris Kringle gift for someone at work, but when I finished it I decided it was so darn cute that I had to keep it for myself lol. Here it is:

Isn’t Santa Edwin just gorgeous sitting on his big comfy chair?? Too cute!

I have used Copic’s to colour in the images ofcourse, but I also used them on the large Gardenia flower too. I didn’t have a red flower that would match the papers or red Copic’s I used. So I used the same Copic’s from Santa Edwin’s suit on the centre of the flower and now it matches perfectly.

 I hope my Copic creation has provided some creative inspiration for you all. Remember Mad for Marker’s online store has all your Copic need’s covered at fantastic prices! Best wishes for a safe and happy Merry Christmas, and finger’s crossed Santa brings you a gift voucher from Mad for Marker’s :o)

Thanks for visiting and if you want more info on this project visit my blog HERE.
