Mad For Markers April Challenge

Good afternoon lovely blog readers... this morning it was my turn to announce the new challenge for April over on the Mad For Markers Challenge Blog... and this months theme is April Showers.


It's all about colouring something to look wet... think water, beach scenes, bubble baths, fishing, mermaids, snow or the obvious, rain....

To inspire you to get into some wet colouring, here are a couple of links to some great tutorials from Marianne Walker....

Rain

Making Dew Drops

  And here is a little coloured inspiration from me....
 

Till next time...

I have coloured this image up in my Mad For Markers Copic Journal which is just great for practising out new colour combinations. A new colour combination which I created for this image, was the for the skin using E30, E31 and E13.... and I quite like the way it turned out.

Copic Catch Up

For the past couple of weeks I've not been in the greatest of health... I have not been able to sit, stand or sometimes even lay comfortably. Making anything hard to accomplish. Thankfully I have an adoring man who has been amazing and taking care of me, our little man and everything else that there is to do around the house.
So no work, scrapping or colouring for me over the past couple of weeks. I am so ready to get back into it, but still need to take it easy.
Today though I thought I would share the last couple of images that I coloured up for my posts over on the Mad For Markers blog,  Last month there was a fantastic challenge to colour with R's & RV's. I challenged myself to colour as much of the images with these colours as possible and I absolutely love the results.

Mad for Markers R and RV Challenge

Hi Everyone,
Today I have shared some Copic colouring using R's & RV's over on the Mad For Markers store blog. This post is to try and inspire you to have a go at colouring with R's & RV's, and to hopefully encourage you to also join in with the Mad For Markers Challenge for February, which is to use R's & RV's in your Copic Creations.
I totally challenged myself on this one, to colour the spunky Greeting Farm Madden (which is available in the Mad For Marker Store), using only R's & RV's. To check out my full post head on over to the Mad For Markers Store Blog.
Here is a little sneak peek

Till next time,

Mad For Markers...

Yep... I am..lol. I forgot how much I love colouring with my copics. I am so happy to be back into the swing of things and designing again for Mad For Markers and I am absolutely loving the current Challenge that is begin run on the Mad For Markers Challenge Blog. The challenge is to try out some new colour combinations, and it's a great way to challenge yourself to step away from your favourites and give something new ago. I tried out a new skin combination, and a new blonde hair combination. I really like these two new combinations, they seem to give my images a lot more depth. Here is what I shared on the Mad For Markers store blog yesterday.

Hope you enjoyed my share today, and I will be back again in a few days with a Scrappy page to share soon.
