Covered Bridge

Hello, Rhea here to share a little inspiration with

 DoveArt Studios Covered Bridge 

Here is the color palette I used.....

Robin On A Branch

Hello Rhea here to share the new release Robin on a Branch which you can find Here

This is one of my favorite images of all times and was actually quite easy to color.

The colors I used are:

Background: BG10, B0000, B41, 45, RV10, BV20 and a water brush filled with 91% alcohol.

After it was completely dried,  I used burlap and 91% alcohol and texturized it from the backside to push the color back to the front.  Kind of like a reverse.  When you use a lot of alcohol it pushes the color to the back of the paper.  To bring some of the shadows back to the front and add dimension,  I simply used my brush filled with alcohol and on the backside of the paper outlined some shadow areas.  This was fast and easy.  I feel it gave more of a water color effect to the background.

The Bird colors were:  Belly, E12, 15, 19 with W5 all done by using the side of the nib and kind of "smushing" the color in place.  When I was done I went back over with E13 to blend it together. Now for his feathers they were simply light strokes of W5, 7, 9

The flowers were colored with : RV 32, 34, E04 and RV10 for highlight areas.

Leaves Were G21, 24, 29 with YG 21 for the highlight areas. 

Hope you enjoyed!

Star Background - N10 & Black Wink of Stella, I only coloured the stars.

Hey Good Lookin'

We see so many girl based cards i like to try giving the cards a more "guy" look.  This is what I came up with.  Although it would make a nice girl card too.  I really love wood grain paper.  I used both the new sentiment set and the new Horse head rubber stamp on this card.  You can find places to purchase under the "purchase" tab on the right.

Copic Colors:

E31 E34 E35 E57 E79

E42 E43 E44 E47 BV23

My Hero!

I used the New Barrel Cactus Cluster and combined it with the Boot Stamp.  I couldn't stop there so I added the NEW Star background.  I really love the feel of this card.  Somehow it had a very calming effect on me. 

Copic colors I used are:
Cactus - G40 G43 G46, E81 E84, E31 E35
Boots and Stars - E81 E84 E87 E89

Large Mouth Bass

I know I showed this for the release hop but i thought i would share some of the colors used.  I grabbed this netting at a large chain store and its just burlap used for decoration as a garland.  Adds that perfect touch to a card.

Copics:

YG61 YG91 YG93 YG95 YG99

E41 R12 R01 R02 R46
