Copic Color Guide 2 - Nature HOP

Good morning and welcome to a very special blog hop!  I am excited to announce my participation and publication in the new Copic Coloring Guide, Level 2: Nature!
Authors Colleen Schaan and Marianne Walker have partnered up again with the team at Annie’s Attic and some of the most talented artists and designers in the industry to bring you a quality publication packed full of techniques, theory, tutorials, and inspiration.  The 64-page book is the next step in the Coloring Guide series, offering information and educational material for crafters of all skill levels.

From the introductory suggestions for creating a Copic journal and tips for working with digital images, to explanations of advanced blending techniques and detailed tutorials for coloring specific objects, the book presents useful information in an easy-to-follow format.
A bonus CD comes with the book that contains all of the hand-drawn images used in the tutorial section of the book, along with the assembly instructions for all of the projects.

Each participating designer is hopping today to give you a peak at their favorite project from the book - and a chance to WIN your own autographed copy! 

Here is the card that I created called "Thanks a Bunch".  All the details for creating this are in the book, so grab your copy or go through the hop and keep your fingers crossed you win one for yourself.  I combined both monochromatic coloring as well as basic coloring and added texture to these yummy apples. I enjoyed making this card and know you will too.

To help kick off the celebration of the new book... each designer on the hop is giving away an autographed copy of the book...signed not only by Colleen and Marianne, but by the individual designer too!  Please comment on this post for your chance to win your copy of mine!  Commenting on my blog will be closed March 14th.  I am running it a little longer as I will be in Alaska visiting family.  

Winners will be announced on the individual designer's blog.

"bling" it on, baby!!

DoodleDragon (Dustin Pike) is having another fun challenge this week....all about the bling.  Using one of his images make something with bling...glitter, gems, stickles, rhinestones, glitter ritz....well you get the idea.  I created this card using Glitter Ritz.  I colored it with copics and it shimmers so pretty.  I added Glimmer Ribbon from Creative Impressions to top it off.  Go get your "Bling" on!!
