I made these little signs to add to our outdoor family dinner tables for 50 people to celebrate my son’s wedding! We had a delicious dinner of BBQ, salads, cornbread and lots of desserts! We put up lights outside and had lots of candles on the tables and it turned out so dreamy. These were the perfect addition to my tables.

How I Copic Color Ghosts…and the October Box Reveal!

By on October 4, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! When you think of coloring ghosts, do they rank right up there with panda bears, penguins and polar bears?! Right…they are white (or clear) so they should be so easy to color!

Today I am going to share with you my very favorite…and easy….color combinations for coloring ghosts!

All the products I use today are from the October 2018 Hedgehog Hollow box, and those ghost images are an exclusive set created by the Ink Road Stamps! The ribbon, Nuvo drops, and little spider brad also come in the box!

Can you see a difference in the way they are colored? I used a different combination for each so they would each have their own look. Subtle, yes…but in real life so effective!

For that first little ghost I used these Copic colors in this order: B0000, BV00, B000. These add a slight purple/blue undertone. Then I went over all of those colors with E40.

For the ghost in the middle, I used Cool Grays in C00, C1, C3. I first went over the ghost with the C00 where I thought the shadows would be. Then I used the darkest C3 over that, blended out with the C1 and back to the C00 to smooth it all out.

The last ghost is colored up with Warm Grays: W00, W1, W3. I used the same method as above for this cutie with a mustache!

sunshine-ghosts-with-envelope

For the envelope, I simply stamped one of the ghosts and the “boo” (using Staz On ink…this envelope is a little slick so I didn’t want that ink to smear!)

I colored it using prismacolored pencils and burnished it a little with a blending stump to smooth it out.
