Hiya, Stampers! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. :) I have a card for Gina's latest Video Sketch Challenge at StampTV. I used images from Happy Camper and Life is Good.
Also, be sure to check out Gina's blog today for exciting design team news!
To make my card, I stamped the train, from Life is Good, and colored with Copics, starting with N5.
Then I added N3.
Next, I added N1 leaving just a few areas un-colored for highlights.
Added N7 to deepen the shading in a few places.
For the tracks, I used E57 on the posts, C5 on the rails and W1 on the ground.
Used C1 and C3 on the smoke and Y21 on the light. Then I cut out the image.
I stamped the mountain scene, from Happy Camper, and started with W3 in the shadows.
Added W1.
Then I added BV11 to give them a bit of a purple haze.
For the trees, I started with G28.
Then used YG95 and YG97 to fill them in.
Used W3 and W1 on the rocks, then used YG91 on to add color to the foreground.
I sponged around the edges with Weathered Wood Distress Ink.
I layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx and Soft Sand. I added texture to the Soft Sand layer using my Forest Branches Cuttlebug embossing folder. The card base is Pure Luxury Moonlit Fog.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!
This is very pretty. I have yet to use the train in this set but I think I will try it after seeing your card today.

ReplyDeleteI love your style. I keep reading the tutorials on each card so I have a good base of knowlege when I get into the "Copic" scene (maybe for Christmas).
