Video Tutorial: Practice Blending your Copic Markers and Create Projects with your Scraps

Hi everyone! It's Mindy from My Creative Scoop. I'm back with another video tutorial to share with you. I'm really excited about showing you how I made this card. 

I'm using Hello Spring Stamp Set and the Hello Spring Nice and Neat Die Set. I also am using the Friendly Floral Stamp Set. I'm also using the Sherbet Sequins for the finishing touches on my card.

In the video I'm using Copic Xpress it Blending Card, Memento Desert Sand Ink, Clear Embossing Powder and here's the list of Copic Markers I'm using.

BG18, BG15, BG13, BG11, BG10, YR15, YR20, E55, YG63 and G20

Remember you can always substitute for colors that you have. Just make sure you're using coordinating colors and if you can the same amount of colors.

Enjoy the video!

I hope you enjoyed the video and it inspires you to create new projects and practice your coloring. 

See you all next month!

Shhh...Mommy's Hiding and Coloring with Pencils

Hey all!

Happy Friday :)

Back today with a video for you.  I had a few requests about colored pencils so here's a little video showing you a thing or two.  I don't use them a whole lot, but they are fun, and I figured I would share what I do know.

Hope you enjoy! (I colored the lantern but for the life of me couldn't come up with an idea for a card. My creative brain has seemed to gone on vacation for the moment)

Hope you have a great weekend!

Getting Started Guide Week 7: The Write Stuff

I'm sorry this video was so delayed! Again with the beautiful weather and playing outside.  But here they are!  I did two videos for this week. The first covers general writing tools I use, and some coloring options besides markers. The second covers the basics of Copics. I do not do any coloring, but simply explain what Copics are and the identification system.

If you have questions let me know! Everything is linked at the very bottom.

::What it means::

Letter::: What color family it belongs to

R= Red

YR= Yellow Red

Y = Yellow

YG= Yellow Green

G= Green

BG= Blue Green

B= Blue

BV= Blue Violet

V= Violet

RV= Red Violet

E= Earth

N= Neutral, W= Warm, C= Cool, T= Toner

First Number::: How vibrant or bright the color

0 = Very Bright (Good for adding highlights)

9= Very Dull

Second Number::: How saturated the color 

0 = Very Light

5= Mid-tone

9 = Very Dark

Rules for picking colors to blend naturally
1. Same letter
2. Same first number
3. Second numbers are 2-4 digits apart (ie. V01, V05, V09)

Colorless Blender

A good marker to pick up to help with pushing and fading/lightening colors. Despite the name, it's not really used for blending.

This is obviously a lot of information, and it's just the bare minimum. So, if you have any questions let me know.  I'm going to try to put together a post of some good Copic resources/blogs as well.

Getting Started Guide Week 5: Ink

It's Friday so you know what that means...a video!

This week it's all about inks and I have 2 videos for you. The first one covers all the types of ink. The second video is VERY mini tutorial dedicated to Distress Inks.

Here is the card, videos are below them, and all supplies are at the very end as thumbnails. I'm entering this into the current Lawnscaping Challenge which is Distress Mania.

*In the video I mention that Versafine Onyx Black is a dye ink, but I lied. It's an oil-based pigment ink!*
