TUTORIAL THURSDAY ~AIRBRUSHED BACKGROUND~


Hi there, it's Tracey here to share a tutorial I have made for you on how to
  AIRBRUSH A BACKGROUND using copic markers. Usually I like to airbrush clouds, but today I will show you how I airbrush a snowy background for Christmas.

STEP 1
Stamp your chosen stamp onto card stock twice. One image will be used for colouring, the other to make a mask.


STEP 2
Color in one image. Then cut out the other image making sure to cut right on the outline so the background reaches all the way to the edge of the image, without an unsightly white border.
I like to use cutter bee scissors for this.


STEP 3
Use a rectangular die to cut out your coloured image. Unfortunately I forgot to photograph this step, so I have restamped him just for the purposes of this tutorial.
Once cut out, leave the image within the die as I use the die as a stencil to give the white edge to the rectangle during airbrushing.


STEP 4
Put your coloured image aside and prepare your masks for airbrushing.
I cut snowflakes using the Heart snowflake dies. I cut them from "mask-it", which is lightly adhesive.


STEP 5
You now have your reusable snowflake masks and Luka mask ready to start.


STEP 6 
Set up your airbrush with desired colour of copic sketch marker. I used BG000, BG72, and B60.
Adhere the card stock Luka mask on top of the coloured Luka image using repositionable tape runner adhesive.
Adhere the snowflake masks randomly over the background.



STEP 7
Use the airbrush to layer the 3 different colours over the entire area, putting more of each colour in some places. This is the first layer.


STEP 8
Carefully remove just the snowflake masks and reposition them somewhere different on the background.
Then repeat the airbrushing process with all three colours, but this time try to avoid parts of the snowflakes that you have already airbrushed, so that they stay crisp white.
This adds an extra layer of depth to the background.



STEP 9
Very carefully remove the masks, revealing your background.


STEP 10
Add some snow in by hand with copic markers to ground the image.
I used W0, W2, and W4.
Add embellishments and your Christmas card is finished.

COPICS
Skin- E000, E00, E21, E11, R30
Hair- E15, E18, YR21
Hat- E30, E31, E33, E35
Jacket- E11, E13, E15, E19
Collar- W2, W4, E31
Trousers- YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97, YG99

Book- E30, E31, E33

Wreath- G20, G24, G28, G29, R27.

Congratulations for making it all the way to the end of my long tutorial. I hope you were inspired to try my background technique.
Don't despair if you don't have an airbrush. The same effect can also be achieved with masks used with distress inks and a foam brush.

Thanks again for allowing me to share my tutorial with you.

Hugs,

Tracey XO

Tutorial Thursday - Faux Wood


Hi all - Debbie here with you today to show you how to create a "faux wood" look. I was asked to do this after I put my La-La Land Sketch Copic Marker Stand together using this method. It took me a little longer to do than I had hoped due to having to work out the colours using currently available ink pads - some of the ones I used  on my copic stand have been discontinued.


Apologizes for all of the photos - I have cut them back to as few as possible but I thought it would be good to show you how it all progresses.


The first thing you need to do is to collect your bits and pieces. Today I'm using one of the La-La Land Trinket Boxes. The inks I'm using are Distress Inks in Wild Honey, Gathered Twigs and Vintage Photo. You'll also need a white ink pad. I usually use my Stampin' Up one but it seems to have gone missing in my craftroom so I grabbed my Brilliance Moonlight White dew drop instead.


Grab the Wild Honey and drag it across the surface of the trinket box.


Follow up with Gathered Twigs......


....and then Vintage Photo.


The white goes on next - but drag it in selected areas rather than all over the surface. White ink usually stays wet longer so step away for about 10 minutes and let everything dry.


Once everything is dry re-layer on the Wild Honey and Gathered Twig until you are happy with the result. Add Vintage Photo sparingly at this stage if desired. 


And here's the trinket box decorated up using a digi paper from La-La Land's Retro Christmas set (the whole inside of the trinket box has been lined with this paper too), Christmas Present Luka and Heart Snowflakes.

I hope this inspires you to give this technique a go yourself - it looks great done on paper and used as a background too.

Debbie
