Creative Coloring Final Class

My second project assignment was to color and shade a floral image.  I don't have the exact image that Mindy used so I went through my Altenew sets and selected the Sketchy Rose Stamp Set.

I needed to stamp several flowers so a little masking needed to happen.  After stamping the two roses I needed a few leaves, so I took those from the Build -A- Flower Anemone Stamp Set.

Artist Markers Used:

G702,G715,G554

R302,R304,R318

C002,R702,R823,R705

Sentiment is Altenew Script Word Die

When I turned my image over to apply adhesive, this is what it looked like on the back.

I wanted to share how cool the image looked.  Probably could have used either side and may try something like this again.

Thanks for stopping today.

Creative Coloring

I finally had a chance to finish my last two assignments for my 

Altenew Creative Coloring With Artist Markers class.

This is my first card.

I did try to duplicate my cards with the samples that Mindy Baxter offered during class.

The first lesson was to practice no-line coloring.  I inked my image with black Memento Ink and then stamped it off twice on scrap paper before coloring.  This creates a very light gray image.

After coloring the flower I took my marker and free-handed a stem and then practiced small flicking motions to add the grass.  The fun dots were added around the flower for a great detail.

I used Altenew Get Well Soon Stamp Set.

Artist Markers:

G702,G715,G554

Sorry I've been Absent......

So after returning from St. Louis I had to jump right into teaching classes.  I just started two new beginning Copic classes at Scrapmania, here in Cedar Rapids.

This is a 7 month process and is always rewarding for me as I see all the students evolve.

I have also been working towards my final steps in the Altenew Educator Certification Program. I can't share all the details now, but want to share a couple of cards I worked up during my process.  Here's the first one today.

I promise to share all the details soon.

I used the new Hope Stamp Set from Altenew.

Ink colors used are:

Red Cosmos Collection

Green Fields Collection

Summer Afternoon Collection

Coloring....Sisters, Coloring.... New Friends, Coloring.... Road Trip

Last weekend I traveled to St. Louis for The Daily Marker Road Trip with the multi-talented

Kathy Racoosin.

The local host for the event was non other than, 

Marcella Hawley of Power Poppy.

All I can say is 'WOW,' this lady talented.

I traveled from Iowa and my sister came over from Indianapolis, where we had a fabulous day just coloring and networking with so many talented ladies from the Midwest.

Starting several coloring projects, I finally had the opportunity to finish the card  that I'm sharing today.

This oversized Dahlia is from the Power Poppy collection and has been colored with Copic Markers plus colored pencils for definition.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.

Blessings,

Clean, Simple and Colorful Techniques- AECP

As I post my 28th project for my Altenew Educator Certification Program, I can say that I am so stoked to present a card that was inspired by Laura Bassen.  She is so very talented and offers fabulous ideas. 

Please visit her blog and enjoy the entertainment! 

 Laura focused on using the flicking motion with your markers to achieve stunning results on your floral images.

I wanted to make this a colorful card by using yellow, blue and black to make the colors Pop!

Using stencils, embossing, inking, and coloring, this card finished off as being one of my favorites.

If you haven't looked into the Altenew Academy classes, please hop over and check them out.  Great information and it's money well spent.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Blessings,

Nancy
