Good morning and welcome to a very special blog hop!
I am excited to
announce my participation and publication in the latest book in the series
Copic Coloring Guide, Level 4: Fine Details!
Authors Colleen Schaan and Marianne Walker have partnered up again with the
team at Annie’s 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 latest in the Coloring
Guide series, offering information and educational material for crafters of all
skill levels.
From light source to shading and shadows, to mixing mediums and tackling
detailed images, this book shows how to take your colouring up one notch further…
by focusing on the fine details. All of the information is presented in an
easy-to-follow format.
An included CD 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
favourite project from the book - and a chance to WIN your own autographed
copy!
Here is my card that appears in the book
showcasing no-lines stamping and incorporating both Copic and coloured pencils
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!

ReplyDeleteI love my Copics but still need much practice. I think your image is beautiful! I am excited about the new book.
ReplyDeleteVery cute card. I would love to have this book, as I do have other Annie's Copic Coloring Books. I am rusty at doing copic shading, as all my card making supplies have been stashed away for a little over two years with our busy lifes of building our own home. We are now in, but have lots of outside projects to finish, so card making is on the back burner, as our summer is so short and the snow will be flying soon.
ReplyDeleteWow Jane, your work in print! Congratulations and very well deserved. Your colouring is fantastic, beautiful no lines colouring.
ReplyDeleteI've not plucked up the courage to try this technique yet, but have bought memento desert sand in readiness :)
Hugs, Janine xx

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your card. I'm amazed at the no lines technique, but have yet to try it in my own coloring. My favorite part is how you've incorporated the non-traditional fall colors (teal and purple) from the paper in her clothes to make it all coordinate.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I really like the line free stamping!
ReplyDeleteSo proud of you sweetie! Wow, are you doing autographs? But then I always knew you were brilliant!! Hugs Squirrel xx
