Copic Sketch Challenge

Well here it is, my first DT card for the Copic Challenge blog! I've never been on a design team outside Charmed Cards & Crafts, nor have I ever sent anything in for submission, whether a competition or magazine, so this is really quite alien to me but also quite exciting, and may I say, perhaps a little scary.

The challenge this time was a sketch and of course we had to use Copic Markers.

I used K&Co Cut 'n Paste papers and elements, plus other K&Co products from the Margo and Wild Saffron collection for this card. I absolutely adore the colours from the Cut 'n Paste range, such mellow, soft hues.

I wasn't sure if I preferred the one with the bow, or without, so I am showing them both here. The image is "Juliet" from the Girls About Town download bundle (download button in the right-hand panel).

...with bow:

without bow:
I really love this card, I would even go as far as to say it's my all time favourite.I can't tell you how many pictures I have taken for the blog though, I just couldn't get the colour right!! You can see what a difference a little lighting can make in the next two pictures, one is perhaps a little too light, the other a little too dark.

These circles represent the three square elements on the sketch (in case you were wondering where the heck they were!).

... and here are the Copics' I used to colour my image.

Pop over to the Copic Challenge blog and see what delights the other design team members have created, then have a go yourself. We look forward to seeing your makes.

Thanks for visiting my little corner on the Web xxx
