I've been sneaking away from time to time to sit and color just for the fun of coloring and thought maybe you'd like a peek inside my Copic coloring book again today.
My first layout above is from a Copic coloring class I've been taking at Simply Scrapping Crafts with Lisa Futch. I've written quick notes on the pages for myself in case I need to refer back to them.
Here's a close up of the little girl in the snow. When I first saw this image I thought, ahhh no thanks. Then I got out my Stampin' Up! color wheel and chose some colors that went together and started to color - I was wrong! I love how this turned out, I've had a hard time with the Violets and Blue Violets so I'll keep working on them till I feel more comfortable.
My next layout is practicing coloring hair with Lisa's recommended hair colors and the images are Sara's at The Sherlock's Home. I picked them up as freebies when linking off of the free digital stamp blog.
And here's a picture of my coloring book in case you haven't seen it yet and one more page I already posted last Saturday. I'll be sharing more from my coloring book another day.
Thanks for asking Melissa :)
Jan the inside of your coloring book is AWESOME! I love seeing all the different colors of copics you've used and your coloring is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Tammy :)
This is such a great idea. I need to do something similar as I keep creating colour combos I like for hair etc and thinking I'll remember which I used - well I never do!!!

Fabulous coloring book Jan! I'd never thought to do this in terms of my paper crafting, but it's really a wonderful idea. I actually still have some notebooks from my college (art school) days that I refer to from time to time. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteI just love your book!! I think I'll be setting up one of my own. One question - did you just cut,mount onf paper and the paste the images on the different pages?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing!! Blessings and hugs!
Jan, this is fabulous - and so is your coloring! WOW!

I enjoyed seeing this post as much as the first one! Again I have to say it - this is such an awesome idea, and SO helpful in learning how compatible colors are together! Your pages are fabulous and so are your coloring skills!! TFS!
ReplyDeleteThis explains how you have mastered Copics so well ... your book looks like it is invaluable.
ReplyDeleteThis ia absolutely fabulous. Your colouring is fantastic too as is the concept. . Elaine
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! I keep meaning to make one but just wasn't fond of actually coloring directly in my book but your use of coloring the image then pasting it inside would work great! Thanks for joining in at LCI this week!
