My First Tent card

Hi all,

Thought I would have a go at a tent card, I have just made my first tutorial on colouring snow for Mad for Markers and this cutie is the result and I just pictured him in my head peering through a snowflake, had help here Rosanna she got her origami out for me and I traced around one of her snowflakes and then cut it out. I have heated embossed the snow/snowflakes using my SU Stamp Set (one of my favs) onto SU elegant eggpant card. I did try putting some embossed snowflakes on and ribbon but it looked too much so stuck with a metal plate that says ho ho ho and snowflake charm. I have used a heart shape eyelet to hang him from.

There is special effects for the bells, eyes and nose. For ear muffs and fur trim I have used Crushed Velvet Lilac Flock. I have distressed around the edge of the snowflake to try to make it look fluffy.

Snow Tutorial for Mad for Markers

Hi all, this is my first tutorial ever an it is for Mad for Markers, firstly I am not Copic Certified, this is just how I love to colour snow images! Copic colours needed are C1, C3 & BG10 (available from Sammi at Mad for Markers Store.

Is this just the cutest snowman from Magnolia, stamped using Momento Ink

First I use C3 to colour shaded, creased areas or where I feel the light would highlight the snow. This is only a very thin line or lightly touching to dot the area.

Secondly I use C1 and lightly feather blend or dot where I have used C3, then I use the C1 to lightly colour odd places, this image is perfect as there are dots which give you a guideline where colour is needed.

Finally I use BG10 and lightly blend into the C1 & c3 to get this effect. I have TGF snowmen which are much smaller and found it better to only use the C1 and BG10.

Finally I coloured the rest of him, and this is how he looks. Added Special effects and some Crushed Velvet Lilac Flock to his ear muffs and fur trim

and made my first ever tent card, I heat embossed the snowflakes, cardstock is elegant eggplant

I don't feel I have said to much lol! So please if I haven't explained something properly please le me know.
