Quick Fix With Copics!!

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

Today I'm playing along with the girls in the Split Coast Stampers F4A565 "Opposites Attract" challenge and just about goofed!

We were supposed to use opposite colors on the color wheel for our projects. Now....being an artist, I know the color wheel like the back of my hand, so you would think I would have no problem knowing what complimentary colors are. Truly, I do! :)

I sat down, found a pretty orange yellow and was looking for a blue violet paper, but got sidetracked...had a brain fart...or whatever, and picked out a blue paper. I got it totally done, photographed, and almost finalized on SCS when it hit me what I had done.

I just about decided not to post it in the challenge but instead went for my magic Copic markers. Viola!

Here is before...

...and after I colored the blue paper, brads, and grill with Violet. :)

        

  

The image is from the "Father's Day" clear stamp set that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps.

Thanks so much for dropping by!

I would love to know if anyone else has done something similar! :)

Have a great weekend!

Hugs,

True :D

Clear Dollar Stamps Product Parade ~ "Father's Day"

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

It's Product Parade time over @ Clear Dollar Stamps and I am showing you a card done with my "Father's Day" set illustration.

I paper pieced the shirt and tie and popped up the collar. The papers are from Prima's "Fairy Flora" stack.

This is what the stamp set looks like. Lots of fun images and sentiments to mix and match!

I hope you will head on over to Clearly iStamp blog and check out all of today's products on "parade". There you will also find links to the other awesome designer's blogs so you can check out what they have made for your inspiration.

Thanks for dropping by!

Hugs,

True :D

DS STAMPS USED: "Father's Day"
CS/PAPERS: Paper Trey's Soft Stone and Prima's Fairy Flora stack
INK: Jet Black Staz-On, Color Box ~ Olive and Walnut
ACCENTS/TOOLS: Detail scissors, sewing machine and black thread, black metal brads, black ribbon, foam dimensional tape, Score-Tape, Helmar's Liquid Scrap Dots
TECHNIQUES: Paper Piecing, sewing
SPECIAL NOTES: To make the knot rounded, stamp and cut the knot out of the same paper you cut the tie from. Turn it upside down on a soft surface (like a mouse pad) and work an embossing tool around in circles concentrating more in the middle. Adhere with Liquid Scrap dots so it will hold it's shape if squished. ;)
