Anya Ink :: sketch challenge



The challenge at Anya Ink this week is a lovely little sketch and this is the card that I am submitting for it! I just love this stamp of Anya in the bath (from the Greeting Farm) - that would be lovely - a nice bubble bath - don't you think!?

I have stamped me time Anya on to Xpress It's new Copic blending card * and I am so impressed with this card... it stamps up beautifully and is such a pleasure to colour on... so smooth and lovely! I've been experimenting with a few different blending techniques recently so you will no doubt see them popping up! I did a little bit of feathering for her headband!

I usually colour skin in with the R00, 11, 20 combination... but now that I have the E000 I went for a new combo... E000, 00 and 02 .. bit paler and less pink'ish.

Thanks for stopping by.


The Copics I used were:
face/skin - E000, E00, E02 (R20 - mouth)
hairband - RV95, RV42
hair - E37,35, 33, 31
bathtub - B97, 95, 93
bubbles - BV31

and shock horror - no white gel pen on the image... just around the circle :D


* I will be selling this in my webstore! :D

  3. Hi Sammi this is adorable! I have had to use the R00 as my E000 has run out, and I can't refill it as it a Ciao, so first on my list will be a Copic Sketch E000 lol.

  8. This is such a gorgeous image and you have coloured her perfectly. I must admit I usually use the R00 & R11 but my R00 has run out and am trying E00 & E11 at the mo which I am getting used too but think I need to order the E000 which I cant get in my local shop. xx

  10. I love this Anya stamp and I definitely agree that a bubble bath would be nice.... with maybe some candles and a glass of wine! Gorgeous card Sammi, I love her hair. I must admit that I don't do brown hair, might have to give it a go!

  11. Mmmmm bubbles .... bring it on! Great card Sammi.... I use the E combos for skin and chuck in a bit of R20 for some shadowing. Not so pink.
