This week at Inspiration Avenue, Cindy of Cottage Remnant is hosting the challenge. (She's also been very busy revamping/re-constructing my blog :). For the challenge - Cindy chose Perfectly P!NK, and if you visit her blog you will see why.
This is my finished project. A little different from what I'm used to, but I like how it turned out :). Here is what I did.
Supplies included Studio G ink pads (Wal-Mart for 97 cents,) dabber duos (had these for years - I was surprised they still worked,) a stippling sponge, and a template for the cup. I placed the cup template onto my 5" x 7" white cardstock and lightly dabbed first the green ink, then the pink ink inside the cup opening. Then I used the dabber duos to pop some dots on the cup. (All that mess rinses right off the template - no worry.)
Next, I removed the template and made sure my inks were dried by blasting it for a couple seconds with my heat gun. I found the quote online - google searched for coffee quotes :). A simple black 01 micron pen was used to tangle some patterns - florz, some swirls, and maybe some weave.
Then I started adding in some color with copics:
- YG11 mignonette
- RV10 pale pink
- YG13 chartreuse
- RV14 begonia pink
- C3 cool gray
- W5 warm gray
- G00 jade green.
A shot of all the supplies I used - except for the black micron :).
Lastly, I outlined the coffee cup with the micron. And, popped a little logo in there under the handle. Easy to do and a lot of fun! You should check out Inspiration Avenue where everyone is posting about P!NK, you could even post some artwork of your own!
he he ;)) you make a mini tutorial ;) love it!
ReplyDeletehaha! yes! several people sent me messages that they appreciated me showing the steps, so i will on occasion :) thanks, fifi!
DeleteLove this & how you used the stencil for the cup. I've got a stencilled flower with a pink head that I'm thinking of using for this challenge - it's in my little Rhodia so once I've done some things that need doing I might just have a play with that.

paula, i saw suzanne mcneill use a stencil in a video and i figured why not. if i had drawn this cup by hand - no one would want to look at it - it would be a square with a handle - hahaha! sad, but true. i'll watch for your flower in the pink challenge :)
DeleteCute cup and saying!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is changing--and in a good way. :)
Happy Thursday. :)
thanks, rita, though i loved my leaf topper i started with - i thought it made my blog look more like a photography blog, so i wanted a change. cindy is doing a marvelous job - thanks for noticing :)
DeleteFabulous card! I love the details - they really add to it - like the little dark diamonds between the bigger diamonds under the cup and the rope edging. Your focal image is well supported by your composition too!
