Hello, my dears,
Today it's my turn - Alma - and I want to raise a toast to you!
I fell in love when I saw the funny pigeon from the A toast to you - 3x4 Clear Stamp Set.
And yes... the pigeon should get a lot more toast! So I decided to draw a bread in the background with my Copics.
It's not so hard! Today I'll show you how to do it.
1.) Draw a very, very rough sketch with a pencil, you can then paint over it with the Copics. It is only used for "rough" arrangement. Of course you can also draw more precisely.
2.) Find a lighter and darker Copics color combination. The most important thing is that you work with shading. I opted for a darker Copic combo for the outer edge of the bread. I chose the following color combinations: E18 - E17 - E15 - E13 - E11
The following tones have been selected for the inside of the bread: E57 - E55 - E53 - E51 - E50
The shades harmonize very well together, as you can see.
3.) When you have finished coloring the bread, you can sketch a plate around it with a pencil. I colored it in the colors W5 - W3 - W2 - W1 - W0 - W00
4.) At the end you can set small highlights with dots of the same color tones and a white gel pen. This gives the bread more liveliness and structure.
5.) Now all you have to do is stamp and color the motif. I colored the plumage of the pigeon with B99 - B95 - B93 - B32 - B000 - B0000.
6.) At the end I stamped the text with the stamping tool. Complete!
Can't wait to see your "toasts"!

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Gerda Steiner Design’s stamp set named, What's up?. It's such a cute set with four different animals and I love their expressions!

Hello everyone, it's Karen here again today. I’ve got a fun new card fold idea for you today, using the adorable “Pigeons”stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs. This is a 5” x 7” card that folds flat, but pops out to create a 3D card when it comes out of the envelope. There’s room on the back of the card to write a message and to decorate if you want. I have to give a shoutout to Sam Calcott of...
