Hand Drawn Frames. Bella and Pretty Kitty.

Hello, and welcome! 

I have been doing Zentangle drawings lately, and decided that a curvy hand-drawn frame would look perfect with a black and white card. 

I knew which stamp set to choose and went straight to these two coordinating sets. 

I started with the inside of the cards first, because I wanted to use my Copic markers to shade parts of the image before committing to the front panels. 

I used cool greys, C1 and C3, and a 0.3 black Copic Multiliner to give some definition in the shadows, and to "ground" the image of the kitty.

For the outside of the cards I added C5 for a little more depth of shadow. 

For the kitty frame, I simply drew some wavy lines with breaks in the lines and made sure the image was in front of the framed area.

                 For the Puppy Card I started with 2 wavy parallel lines, then sectioned them off with curved stripes, then coloured leaving the centres blank to look like the frame was 3D. It gives an interesting effect, and is very simple to do, once you have practised a few times on scratch paper.

I hope you enjoyed today's project. I like both frames, but I'm not sure which you prefer. Leave me a comment below, and thanks for visiting today.

Copic Puppy and Kitten : Pretty Kitty meets Bella And Friends!

Hello, and thanks for visiting my blog today!

 Aren't these little guys too cute! Our dog Koby is a Maltese Poodle Cross and I just had to have the Bella and Friends stamp set, as well as the Pretty Kitty set.

I decided these two needed to be best friends, so I tied a balloon to each of their tails and coloured them with my Copic Markers, after stamping in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

I also gave them both rosy cheeks, and made the puppy a boy and the kitty a girl, with their blue and pink collars!

I added some shine to the balloons with a white Gellyroll marker. 

I have an ever-expanding selection of markers and pencils, as well as my Copics (I am an Intermediate Copic Designer), and love watercoloring as well. Over the last two years I have been studying watercolour painting at the Regional Gallery at Hazelhurst and I will be showcasing some of my work here on the blog from time to time.

To finish the card I matted the sentiment onto a crumb cake base using the Stitched Framelits, then adhered everything to a Basic Black Card base.

Of course I love to finish my cards on the inside as well, so I chose the seated version of the kitty and the puppy and simply stamped them on either side of the inside layer in black, and left them uncoloured. I wanted the outside to steal the show.

What do you think? Pretty cute, right?

Here are the supplies you will need, plus whatever you choose to colour your card with.
