Little Outbursts of Creativity: Saturated Canary

Copic Sweden blog hop

I'm taking part in a blog hop with Copic Sweden, so this post is in Swedish. Feel fre to google translate it if you dare ;)

Gör som jag - var med på CMS Blog Hop! Blog Hopen pågår 22-29 mars, så färglägg ett alster du med och var med! Utgångspunkten för Hoppen är COPIC MARKER SVERIGE där du länkar in dig via Mr Linky. Snack, frågor och information i övrigt sköts på Facebook som ett EVENT. Passa även på att gå med i vår GRUPP på Facebook där vi snackar och delar med oss av våra färglagda alster. Hoppa runt, kommentera och hälsa på varandra, helt enkelt HA DET SKOJ!

Jag valde att färglägga den här glada tjejen från Saturated Canary, hon är perfekt till födelsedagskort, bra att ha liggande när barnen ska på kalas. Det var så roligt med att bli inbjuden till den här blog hopen, pennorna har legat försummade rätt länge innan jag började med detta kortet. Nu är jag igång igen och det är så kul att färglägga!

Jag lyckades klanta mig när jag skulle sätta ihop kortet och tappade en klistrig grej som rev upp pappret så jag räddade det med ett klistermärke på sidan. Det var bara det att jag tyckte det skulle vara snyggt med häftklamrar på klistermärket så jag häftade fast det. Med kortbasen stängd. Typiskt! Fick bända upp klamrarna för att rädda kortet. Jag satte en remsa av det svartvita mönsterpappret på baksidan för att dölja hålen på insidan. Som en bonus blev insidan lite snyggare, men visst är det retsamt att lyckas med sånt?

Tack för att du tittade förbi här hos mig, jag ser fram emot att hoppa runt och kolla på alla fina alster och kanske upptäcka lite nya bloggar att följa :)

Colouring Circus Trixie

A while back I made a colouring video using the Spectrum Noir Blendable Pencils and I got a lot of wiews on that one. I guess this is something people are interested in seeing as the pencils are sort of new and there aren't as many videos using them out there. I decided to make another video because I do love those pencils and I haven't taken the time to color any images in a while. I colored Circus Trixie from Saturated Canary this time. She is adorable, and she reminds me of my daughter.

the card is nothing fancy, I just used some papers I liked and tried to pick up the circle shape of the ring she is standing in. I hope you like the video. Thanks for stopping by!

Copic coloring a mermaid

Time for a new coloring video. I colored a mermaid from Saturated Canary this time. I'm just loving Saturated Canary at the moment, they are really fun to color. After coloring her up I just cut a couple of wavey forms from post it tape and sponged different colors over it to make this fun ocean background. I hadn't planned to make a card when i printed her out (its a digi stamp) she is kind of big, not a lot of room for decos and the card is a bit larger than standard size.

Enjoy the video!

Copic coloring video

Today I wanted to share a coloring video I made this weekend. If you have followed my blog you might know I have taken the ECCP Copic coloring classes and got really inspired. I decided to practice my coloring every day, and I have. Well, most days anyway. I'm really enjoying it too. So to make it more fun I thought I would make some videos, just sped up Copic coloring for those of you who are interested in that sort of thing. I usually just color up an image and put it in the pile of colored images (that might come in handy when I'm in a pinch for a quick card), but since I got the setup to record I thought it would be fun to see the progress. And to be honest, I've got this new MacBook Pro and I wanted to play with iMovie. After figuring it out I'm totally happy with it. It was way quicker to edit the video AND to upload it. But I miss the free soundtracks that came with my old program so it's a bit repetetive. I'll try to find some new music online that is free to use but I wanted to share my video ASAP so I hope it's not to annoying.

This is the card I made from the image I colored. The stamp is Saturated Canary. I love their digis. I usually print out 4 on a A4 sheet of paper and cut them apart to color one at a time. I carry all my markers in a camera bag so I'll ust pop a bunch of images in one of the side pockets along with the materail from the ECCP-classes and a color sheet where I can see all my colors at once. I'll take the whole bag up to the living room and color while watching tv with hubbie or between dinner and bed time when the kids are happy occupying themselves. Oh, I should mention that the video is sped up 4 times so it took me about 1 h 10 minutes to color this image.

I hope you like it. I'm curious if you would like more coloring videos or more general cardmaking/scrapbooking videos? I'm not a very organized cardmaker so editing the cardmaking videos takes a bit more time than just editing out the parts where I can't find the right markers in a coloring video. ;)

Well, that's it from me today. If you are wondering where my regular wednesday-post was missing this week it's because I'm stupid. My memory card reader died on me when I was going to import my pictures and I was a bit slow and did not realize I could connect the computer to the camera and just get them that way. I'm blaming school, I'm just finishing up my last engineering assignment and my brain hurts from all the thinking. I might have broken it in a few places.

See you another day I hope, thanks for stopping by!

Coloring video and a romantic card

It’s my time to post on the WOW blog today, hop on over to take a look at this pretty romantic card for this months theme, monocrome. It’s very glittery and pretty! I love the vintage romance embossing powder, very pretty!

So, If you want to see the whole card klick on the picture.

And finally I’m happy to share my first coloring video using the Spectrum Noir blendable pencils. I must say I’m just starting to use the pencils but I very much enjoy coloring with them. It’s pretty fast and gives great results. The video is my way of using them, I have no idea if it’s the “right” way. But it works for me. This is the card I made with the image.
