Today we have a {TAC} hop! We LOVE Nina B.
I have a card created with a Nina B image called "Dotted Peony". It is available again thru Layers of Color! The dots are from the hostess set "Circles of Love".
The line of dots were stamped using Belle Rose Palette ink on Bazzill Raspberry Splash cardstock.
I used Nestabilities Oval and Label 18, stamped the image using Memento tuxedo black ink. The green cardstock is Bazzill Kiwi Crush. The image was colored using Copic Markers: R32, R35, R37, YG63, YG67.
This card was for the last class I taught as an Angel Company demo. {Sigh} When I taught Copic coloring techniques, I learned that step by step coloring keys work really will. This was a "shoe box gathering" set up, my open house, so I did the instruction all on one sheet to go with the shoebox of supplies to create the card. If it were a sit down party atmosphere where we were creating the card together, I would create a key for each color. That way everyone could start coloring with one color family then trade colors with their neighbor. This also worked very well.
This is the step by step coloring instruction for this card...
This teaching technique was something I shared during my seminar presentation. I have several examples from classes I had done over the last couple years. Other {former} angels taught in a similar way, maybe you do too.
I show every step in my color key, where I add the colors and also the blending steps. This way anyone can follow it even someone who had never picked up a Copic marker before.
One of the questions I was asked at seminar is if I let people use my markers - yes I do. (I let children use my markers too) Life is short - share the joy. The tips are replaceable if there is a mishap.

Hope you enjoy the rest of the Nina B. hop.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!!
ReplyDeleteStunning indeed! Thanks for tutorial again. I feel the same...life is way too short to hoard things to ourselves. I just have to watch my 10 year as she will mix back forth with colored pencils. After learning at classes, use the copics first, go to other coloring mediums..but never go back to copics as it could ruin your marker. ;o)
