Another Gruffie!

Here is attempt #2 with my Copics this week. This little Gruffie didn't have as much detail as the first I colored (maybe I should have done this one first? LOL!) But he is adorable anyway!!! I got this one in only 2 tries. I was having issues getting his book a color that would match the Basic Grey papers I was using. So even though it was irritating when I ruined the coloring of the book on the first one, it gave me some great practice.



Supplies:
Gruffies Bedtime Story Stamp by House Mouse Designs
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad
Copic Markers E50, E53, E31, E25, E27, YG17, B24, B14
Basic Grey June Bug 6x6 Paper pad
DCWV Cardstock
Pop Dots (the image and scalloped border piece are both popped up)
Velvet Ric Rak from Taylored Expressions
"Just Because I care" by Stampin' Up

I hope you have had a WONDERFUL week so far! I am enjoying today with my hubby since he is off from work, and we are off to do something fun!!!

Copic Coloring with Gruffies

I have had my Copics for almost 2 years now. I just wasn't getting the results I wanted and so I decided to watch some videos on YouTube. I added two new markers, very pale colors to my collection after watching those videos. I stamped this "Gruffie" by House Mouse 4 times on some white cardstock and started to color. The one I finally added to this card was my 3rd attempt. Yes it was time consuming, but it helped me SO MUCH! I love, love, love how he came out!!! Not too bad for maybe my 5th attempt at coloring a stamp and I think he has some awesome depth.
