Welcome to day four of the My Favorite Things Stamps March Release Countdown! I chose the new Bubble over with Joy stamp set to feature today because these sweet bunnies made me smile.
I colored the Bubble Over with Joy bunny images with my Copic markers on Natural cardstock (lighter than most Kraft). Since I was planning to use colored pencils to both lighten and darken, I kept the marker layer pretty simple, using the markers pictured above.. (For the bubbles, I used only colored pencils, coating them with glitter glue when I finished coloring them.)
I used white Prismacolor pencil to add highlights on the Natural cardstock. I used a black and a cool blue pencil as well to deepen my shadows a bit. (I could have gone darker with my markers just as easily, except that after I'd already added some colored pencil, I didn't want to switch back to my markers and get wax on a marker tip.) For the bubbles, I used white Prismacolor and a mid-tone purple Prismacolor. The background is airbrushed with Copic B23 and G14--both a little cooler in color temperature than I normally use for my airbrushed backgrounds, but I was trying to compensate for the warm tones that the Natural cardstock would add.
While I have linked all products that I used below, the links to the NEW product links will not be live links until release night, 9pm Eastern Time, Tuesday, March 6. All of the other links should work now. Be sure to check the MFT Stamps blog for more March Release inspiration AND for a chance to win some great prizes! Thank you for visiting,
