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

By KariV 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!

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.

I hope you love these little ghosts as much as I do!! For more information or to get your very own box with exclusive stamps, visit The Hedgehog Hollow here.

Watercolor Pens with the Bountiful Blooms set

By KariV on September 20, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m sharing a project on the Hedgehog Hollow blog that is rather unusual for me. I’m creating a messy watercolor look using the Watercolor Pens and the Bountiful Blooms set from the September Hedgehog Hollow Box. Here’s a sneak peek:

I used all four colors included in the set and a watercolor brush to move that color around, but you could just as easily use a small paintbrush and a little bit of water.

All the details and the VIDEO tutorial are up on the Hedgehog Hollow blog here. So click now to check out just how easy this card style can be!

Bloom Where you are Planted

By KariV on August 30, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing a card that is a bit of a SNEAK PEEK! This card uses products from the September Hedgehog Hollow box…and let me tell you: they are beautiful!

I’m using just two of the stamp sets from the box today (there are three stamp sets included in this box, along with some other fun goodies…see my unboxing video below for all the details!)

Here I colored up one of the blooms with Copic markers in my favorite color obsession right now: Coral. I was actually inspired by the Catherine Pooler ink that comes in the box for this one.

Look at those beautiful blooms! And I absolutely adore the large Bloom sentiment. Here I have embossed it with my favorite Mirror Gold embossing powder. Here’s a better look at that gold:

I used some paper from my stash for the background. Then I popped up the white sentiment panels AND the flowers on 3M foam tape for some dimension. I added some clear droplets to finish it all off, and some dots with white and black gel pens on the flowers.

Here’s a close up of the details on the floral spray:

It is a fun set and I’m excited to create more with the awesome background stamps that are just the right fit for these flowers.

Balloon Over London with Hedgehog Hollow

By KariV on August 16, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a card to share that I like to call “Balloon Over London” featuring the August Hedgehog Hollow subscription box.

I just couldn’t resist the idea of this little hedgehog floating over the London skyline at dusk. He’s on an ACTION WOBBLE (that came in the subscription box), so he moves and wobbles and it’s so cute!

I used Distress Oxides to ink up the background in the colors Fossilized Amber, Broken China, Faded Jeans, and Seedless Preserves.

I colored the images using the Marvy Watercolor pencils that came in the box, and then added detail and dots with markers and a white gel pen. Here’s a close up:

Isn’t he cute?! I love this month’s box.

If you haven’t heard…there’s a sneak peek to next month’s Hedgehog Hollow box and it’s going to be featuring Catherine Pooler!! (So exciting!) If you haven’t tried Catherine Pooler inks, you are in for a treat…because one of her NEW ink colors is going to be included in the box! We will also be seeing some beautiful floral stamps and I just can’t wait to ink those up.
