I had a chance to create a project to help provide you with a little extra inspiration. Here are the card details. I hope I haven't forgotten anything...
General Information:
- Unfortunately, since I had to scan it, the scanner didn't pick up the lighter shade of the neutral grey I used which basically comes 1/3 of the way up the marker, right now it just looks like I made a thin outline. Maybe I'll hold on to this card until we actually get the new camera so I can have a better picture for my collection 'cause this one %$#@*.
- Markers: It is actually kind of neat having an image of the markers I work with almost every single day. Clicking on the watermark
below will take you to its location in the store.
- I created the stitching effect digitally.
- It was also great having a close up model for colouring purposes. Until I coloured in this image, I never realized that the end with the thinner brush is actually a darker colour than the opposite end. Neat eh? Okay, it was neat for me but it doesn't take much to awe me. I coloured the Copic markers using Copic markers. How profound is that?! The base of the markers are coloured with the colourless blender, N0 and C1. The darker end is done with C1, C3 and C5. The colours I used for the cap ends and exposed nibs are Y13, Y15 Y17, R22, R24, R29 and B21, B24 & B29.
- Okay, yes I know that the principles of design dictate that groupings should for the most part, appear in collections of odd numbers. It certainly would have been better for the layout of pennants on the bottom. However, since I was going with the concept of the colours of the rainbow and there are only six at last count, I had to just use six of them. Hopefully it doesn't look too weird.
INSIDE
- I created the sentiment myself using a font in the middle line that was open so that I could fill it in. See how well my brain worked for this one? I ensured that the words in the middle were six letters in length each so that I could completely use all the colours of the rainbow, allowing there to be an esthetic balance. Go me!
- As is the case on the front, I created the stitching effect digitally.
- Middle line coloured with Copic Markers: R24, YR04, Y17, G09, B24, V17 (at least I am pretty sure those are the colours I used).
