Today is ABC Monday at Bug A Boo Stamps Catch The Bug and it's my turn to show you my "Anything But A Card" project!
I wanted to share my Copic coloring book that I put together using Bind It All covers, pages and my Bind It All. I've been adding to it for about a year now so you may have seen the front cover before today. I used a couple of Bug A Boo Stamps Toppers to decorate the cover of my coloring book and the fonts are computer generated and everything is colored with Copic markers.
This is one of my first entries in my coloring book, way back before I really knew what I was doing coloring so disregard my coloring directions pictured here! (April 2010?) This is also one of the first Bug A Boo Stamps images I bought. It was before I was on their design team, I was new to digital images and loved this little bug in the jar. I still do!
This is the page next to the ladybug in a jar also before I knew any coloring techniques.
In this layout I've learned how to color and was practicing hair colors. (January 2011?) One of the reasons for making a book like this was to be able to record what Copic markers I've used for specific hair, skin, clothing, etc. colors and also techniques I've learned.
The last page I'm going to share with you today is Itchy by Bug A Boo Stamps. I really like the brown color combination and wanted to be able to remember what it was when it's time to use it again. You can find all the images I've used today at the Bug A Boo Stamps online store here.
I hope you enjoyed my Anything But A Card project for Bug A Boo Stamps today! I'll be showing more peeks into my coloring book in the future - this one is almost full & it's almost time to make myself a new one.
