FFF and 3 Color Copic Vintage Tutorial


Welcome to Farm Fresh Friday at The Greeting Farm! This weeks FFF challenge is a color challenge! Kraft, Chocolate Chip, and Groovy Guava/Melon Berry.
For complete rules, check out the TGF blog!!


I was really color challenged this week!! I don't have a lot of guava/melon colors!! So, I used my "Coral Berry" Tattered Angels glimmer mist...this is an OLD version. The new version is called "Sunkissed Peach". It's a gorgeous peach/melon with salmon/coral glimmer! I colored my image with my Copic Markers, then spritzed a little on the corners for color.



VINTAGE 3 COLOR TUTORIAL:

This is a super fast and very easy vintage look. I only used these 3 Copic colors: E40, E42, E70


First I used E40, basically outlining the whole image:



I then went back and added some E42 to areas I wanted more shaded:


Last, I added just a touch of E70 to areas I wanted deeper shading:

I might go back and add some E40 to areas that are too white..like her eyes, etc. And that's it!

Here I used Solar White because it shows up better in photos. But you can also use Natural White, like the Sweet Pea image within the butterfly in my post here.

Also, be sure to checkout this weeks Club Anya & Friends challenges:
