Another dinosaur card

Posted by DeAnna

I attended a class at Photo Express about a month ago that was an all-occasion Copic card class. We made three different cards, and I absolutely loved the dinosaur stamp they used and I am so happy with the way my coloring turned out. Check this out:

I colored most of the dinosaur in my lightest green, leaving the nails and teeth white. I then colored highlights with my darkest green (I only have two greens and they aren’t even in the same color family but they look good together so I go with it ;D). Then I went back with my lightest green and blended the highlights in. Then I went back and added dark green to the spots. Then I decided I didn’t like his belly just being the light green so I used my colorless blender and removed some of the color and then colored over it with my buttercup yellow (Y21). I love the way this turned out. I did pretty much the same thing with the teeth/nails. I colored them in with my yellow and then used my colorless blender to remove some of the yellow near the tips. The card was for a boy who was turning 1 so I used blue for the present and since I don’t have an orange Copic I used dark purple to contrast with the blue in the party hat. After I cut him out I used one of my black markers to color around the image to hide the white paper which is a major pet peeve of mine.

I have no idea who makes the stamp since we didn’t get to use the actual stamps. PE stamped the image multiple times and then copied them on their copier for the class members. It worked out well since I have enough materials to make several cards, but they didn’t provide us with a materials list.

I have a couple other cards to make from the class, and I’ll share them soon. I haven’t scanned in any of the layouts I have been doing recently yet, and we’re in Kamloops visiting for the weekend now so I’ll have to share those next week. I’m very excited about some of the layouts I have done in the last week too ;D I’m totally in a crafty zone right now and I hope it doesn’t go away anytime soon ;D

Have a great weekend!
