Text of the page (random words):
for the top layer in all of the images below you will see on the right hand side a completed image so you can track how it is made up in the varying colouring stages to start with the whole of the pink section of the dress was coloured in rv00 now go over the outside edges and in the creases and folds with the same rv00 to build up some depth then i have started to build up the shading with rv02 clearly defining the edges and where dark shading will fall i am cautious that i keep the centre areas untouched now as much as possible because this is where i deem the light will be falling full on the front i finally added rv34 to the areas i wanted the most depth and then again blended this in with the rv00 now i have started to colour the green part of the dress here i have used bg10 and coloured all parts here i have started to show the shaded areas with bg13 colouring the areas that would be shaded from the light or darker because of folding now i have used the darker of my 3 greens bg15 and put deep colouring on the areas where i want to show the most depth and shade then i blended all three colours together with bg10 my lightest green shade pushing the colours towards the lightest section but not going over the paler area where i want to keep the most light falling on the dress here is the finished image completely coloured and ready to go on the card the copic colour wheel copic markers come in a range of 322 different colours just amazing choosing colours is just like being in a sweet shop but be wary and buy wisely as there is a method is choosing the blend and shade of colours to get the right effect in your colouring the copic pens come in 3 different types the original marker which are the largest of the 3 and square in shape the sketch which is the next size down and oval in shape and finally the ciao which is the smallest in the range and circular in shape average prices are around 5 for the original 3 50 for the sketch and 2 for the ciao the 322 colour range is available predominantly in the sketch range if you use the copic airbrushing system it does state that this only works with the original markers but i find that they work just as well with the sketch the colour wheel below is downloadable either by right clicking on the image and pasting to your desktop or by clicking on the link below where the image will appear and you can then save ideally the best way to view the wheel to get the most information and detail of colour is on screen you can print it off but you will need to re size the downloaded image and remember the colours will ony be as good as your printer and printer inks define you will see on the right hand side of the colour wheel the detail of how to chose the right colour how to make sure that colours blend together and are in the same family of colours and how to select a set of ideally 3 close colours in the family to get the best effect when blending and shading click on the image below and this will open up to fill your screen so you can get a good view of the colours and then scroll to the right to see the information of choosing the right range of colours below is the image of the 2 pages that you can download from the link below so that you can colour in the sections as you buy your copic pens to keep a track of the colours you have when i am preparing to colour an image i first pull all of my papers together and then sit them alongside my colour chart i then write down the numbers that offer the best colour combination and then go and select from my stash here are the links if you wish to download the images of the blank colour charts and remember you will need to re size them on your printer to fit on two a4 sheets the link is also below for the copic colour wheel again resize this to suit but you will get the best image and colour detail when viewing on your computer copic colour wheel copic blank colour chart 1 copic blank colour chart 2 well i hope this has given you food for thought on using copic and pro markers i by no means am an expert in the art of colouring but i am learning and the best way to learn is to keep practicing enjoy ann xxx posted by the next level at 08 16 6 comments hints and tips did you know 1 when using rub ons on your project breathe on them first before using them as this helps them to release from the carrier sheet more easily 2 when your ink pads are running out turn them upside down for a few minutes before use to get the last drops of ink to the surface 3 when using embossing powder always use an anti static bag to wipe over your work first or a tumble dryer sheet as this will help stop excess embossing powder sticking to your work 4 when heat embossing on vellum always heat from underneath to stop the vellum

your say have fun everyone see you on monday ann and dawn xxx 3d rose tutorial from abby 1 stamp the image multiple times onto water color paper using black staz on ink i prefer lighter weight water color paper for my 3d floral images because it is easier to manipulate into your desired shape 2 water color the images as you desire for this rose i focused on coloring the large rose only since it will be cut out it was not necessary to color the images in their entirety this helps to cut back on work and time 3 once you ve water colored the images cut them out as close as possible select one to keep as your base then proceed to cut along the lines of the petals on the remaining images don t worry about cutting perfectly since it should be a natural untailored look just be sure they resemble the shape of rose petals one key point is to color the back and along the edges of each one with a matching marker so that there s no white showing underneath or throughout the edges of petals 4 select one of the larger petals to start building the outer edge curl the bottom edge of the petal slightly and add a touch of glue to the curled edge then place it on the rose image i use beacon 3 in 1 glue because it holds beautifully but also allows you to move the petals if you happen to make a mistake or decide to move the petal to a different location just be sure the glue is not completely dry or you may tear it 5 once you ve glued the first petal allow the glue to dry and gently shape it with your tweezers 6 continue the same pattern with the rest of the petals starting with the larger ones for the outer edge and the smaller petals for the center 7 as each petal dries you can go back with your tweezers to gently shape the petals so that they resemble the look of a real rose 8 once you re getting close to the center select one of the smallest petals and curl it inward and use a mini glue dot to place it in the center this will offer a guide for the placement of the remaining petals you may find that you ll have to trim the petals to fit your desired space 9 once you re finished adding all of the petals grab your tweezers for some final shaping then finish with a touch of glitter on the edge of each petal 10 here s the finished rose which will be added to a future creation hope you ll give it a try abby posted by the next level at 08 01 5 comments wednesday 8

use this a truly clear embossing pad use like you would the top boss just stamp and emboss with colored powder or clear powder for a see through shine a watermark this is great for backgrounds it will deepen the shade of colored paper wherever you stamp just think about this for every color of paper you own you now have a complementary color of ink poppin pastels there are a couple of ways to accomplish this effect on light colored card stocks 1 apply chalks to the area to be stamped stamp with versamark and allow to dry or use heat gun then rub gently with a clean cotton ball you can get a dramatic effect by adding more chalk to a cotton ball or dauber after you stamped with the versamark or you can emboss while stamped image is still wet with clear embossing powder and the image will jump out at you 2 stamp first then chalk gently over the stamped area and watch the image magically appear reverse pastels this time you use brightly colored chalk to cover dark colored card stock basic black night of navy close to cocoa old olive etc and then stamp over the chalked area the ink will pull out the color of the paper from beneath the chalk be sure to clean the stamp before re inking it as the chalk you removed is now on your stamp and you will dirty your versamark pad shadowing this is a technique to use with kaleidacolor pads and word stamps but you can use it for anything really just stamp directly over your first image because you will seldom be exact you will make a shadow that gives the initial image a 3 d effect you can even take it a step further and emboss with a transparent powder like pearl or iridescent ice brayer resist this technique can be done with gold encore or versamark stamp image s onto glossy white card stock using one of the above inks gently wipe away the ink using a lotion free tissue and small circular motion ink up your brayer and roll it over the paper wherever the versamark ink was stamped the paper will resist the colored ink from your brayer this works on matte card stock but looks better on glossy versamark 2 step stampin stamp the same image first w versamark then with metallic encore just shift the image a little bit when stamping the metallic ink it gives it a shadowed look looks great on baroque burgundy and forest foliage embossing on glass using the embossing buddy first then using the versamark to stamp the image on a glass container then emboss with detail gold or silver fill it with candy and tie a ribbon on it embossing with your 48 stampin up pads ink your stamp with versamark then stamp on one of our 48 color pads or you can use a dauber to apply the color ink if you are worried about the color pad stamp and use clear embossing powder heat now you can emboss and be perfectly coordinated with the su markers cardstock and inkpads be certain to clean stamp before re inking on versamark pad or you will leave color on it discreet journaling lines although the versamark ink is sticky when applied it dries like regular ink and loses the stickiness it is acid free and safe for scrapbook pages it works perfectly on all of our colored cardstock batik technique simply stamp your image using versamark on ultra smooth white or confetti or some other light cs and then emboss with clear embossing powder let cool then gently wad paper into a ball or you could fold it into a small square for a different look unfold it and smooth it out place it on a towel and wet with water so the paper is very damp next ink your brayer with a kaleidacolor pad and brayer across the paper the image will stay white while the ink will seep into cracks and the rest of the paper will have a batik look like back in the 70 s when you applied wax to a pattern on a shirt and then dipped it in dye cooled and chipped the wax away thank you maryz for this great piece of work on the uses of versamark and for your approval for us to use this on the next level we have been on the scout around again this week
