Mad 4 Markers One for the Girls

Hello and welcome here!  Actually, I am not here, I'm enjoying some time away at a Crop so hopefully this has posted when it should and you are reading it now. It's a new month and that means it's a new Mad 4 Markers Challenge, this month the challenge is One for the Girls, anything for a female will fit the bill.

Challenge - One for the Girls

You have until the end of May to enter a project coloured with Copics.

There's a prize to be won!!

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I used the digital image called Flora found at Funky Kits.  She's so pretty, even before colouring her up, and the great thing is that the shading is already on the image to help you along in your colouring.  I try to keep my cards a little more simple so that it doesn't overpower the image that I took the time to colour.

Mad 4 Markers Autumn Challenge

Hello and welcome here!  In my part of the world, we're trying...and I mean trying...to have Spring.  We still have a lot of snow to get rid of, and it's almost May!!  What happened to April showers bring May flowers?  This month at Mad 4 Markers (located in Australia), the Challenge is Autumn, you have until the end of the month to join us.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I used the Simply Adorable Digital image called Hope, from Funky Kits...I think she is super sweet, and absolutely loved colouring her in the warm Autumn colours. The great thing about Copics is that you can go back and continue colouring, even after days.  I see that her bow in her hair looks a little too pink for me, so I'll go back and add a bit more red to make it look more like the bow on the front of her dress.

Mad 4 Markers Easter Challenge

Hello and welcome here.  This month the Challenge at Mad 4 Markers has been Easter, and can you believe that it is just over a week away now!  Do you have plans to hide any Easter eggs?

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I found this cute digital image of TeddyBo called Easter Bo Bunny,  resting on top of an Easter egg.  I coloured it with Copics and then attached it to my card.  Note to self, remember to add sentiment BEFORE attaching, lol, it makes it so much easier than trying to stamp on foam squares.  You can see in the photo below how it smudged a little, just on the point of me feeling like I needed to redo the whole image, ugh, Deneen, don't do that again!!

Copics Used:

Hat - V12, V15, R81, R83

Sweater - YG21, YG23, YG67

Bear - E13, E15, E21

Mad 4 Markers is at the Movies!

Surprise!! I was accepted to another Design Team called Mad 4 Markers, and they're located in Australia.  If you love Copics, you'll want to head on over and check out their challenge blog, it's full of Copic inspiration, and a monthly challenge you'll want to join in on.  So on to my first post for M4M!


Hello and welcome here!!  I'm so pleased to be sharing my first M4M creation with you.  This month we have been showcasing creations inspired by the movies, and what better childhood movie than The Wizard of Oz.

Card Size: 4.25" x 5.5"

I used Saturated Canary's digital stamp called Pigtails. It's the perfect stamp to use as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.  I was stumped at how to decorate the card once I had my image coloured, and decided to go with black and white...just like how the beginning of the movie starts out in black and white.

Here's Dorothy's red glitter shoes.  I used white Craft glue, and added red glitter, pressing it carefully into the glue.

I added the yellow brick road using 3 different Copic yellows and randomly coloured bricks...I also decided to add Oz in the background, and I used the chisel tip for the first time, lol.

Copics Used:

Skin - E0000, E00, YR000, R20, R00

Hair - E11, E15, E17, E18, E19

Dress - B02, B04, B06, C1

Toto - E71, E74, E77, N7

Bricks - Y08, Y13, Y15

Grass - YG25, YG67

Sky - BG0000
