Tracey using from her collection EC Big Egg

Tip #1: Use an Opaque white pen or marker to add highlights or even a pattern to really make the image pop or stand out!

Tip #2: Always make sure to pick out your selected DP first before coloring your image. This will allow your card and color combo blend together nicely. 

Erum using Critter Balloons - elephant

Annette using EC FLower

Tip: Create some shadow below your image to 'ground' it, so that it does not appear to float. I usually use green (to mimic grass) or grey, but in this case used a dusky lilac which seems to have picked out the pinks in the backing papers.

Bettina using Critters Ballons - cat


Tip: When making a belt buckle card make sure your image is not too big so you can see what is behind it. Also make sure that you make the opening big enough for the belt to go through

Deneen Using EC Flower


Tip:To get a nice soft edge around your image when colouring with Copics, use the side of the brush tip and the 'flicking' method...like you are adding grass blades...starting along the image and 'flicking' out.

Elaine using Puppy Love - heart string

Tip: Use a small stamp for detail around an image.

Janette using Hey There

Tip: Add dimension to your die cuts or chipboard by going over the edges with your alcohol markers. I use my Copics and sometimes even do some blending with multiple markers. I have done this on my banner.

Leanne

Tip:

Lisa using Stella Calendar Months; Easter

Tip: Stella is such an outrageous character as it is and I love that about her, which makes it so easy to place her in an unusual scenery. It gives her character even more charm.

Katrina 
Tip:  You can always create different flowers by using tissue paper, I cute mine to about 5x7, folded from the long side across, ties in the middle and each layer carefully brought in.   remember to 'shape' the ends, different shapes will give different flowers, mine were based on peonies and carnations…. 

Samantha using Chicken soup

Tip 1 : Darken your edges of your design so your faux stitching shows up more.

Tip 2 : Use your Digi image (just in black) to print your own backing papers, I have printed direct onto the Kraft card.
