May's Colour Mojo

Its Time for the May Colour inspiration - this month its Turquoise

For those who have been following the colour journal journey - This has been inspired by Some Odd Girl and Kristy - who uses Copics so its great to be able to convert the colours to Promarkers as there isn't as much guidance or colour combos out there for Pros as there are the Copics.

So here is my latest page in my colour Journal. (If you want to see the other pages- just click on the label and all the pages will appear.) So far I have done Lime Green, Yellow and now this lovely colour.

 

I ran out of time a little so I only did the Turquoise on the blue specrum but plan to do some with a more Green base too. 

 

This image is from Some Odd Girl and is called Tweeting. I shouldn't have completed him but it seemed wrong not too... So I did finish him and then I did exactly why I shouldn't finish my journal images - I used him on a card!!

Here's the finished Card.... Now I will have to colour him again to put back in my journal! Oh well - Good job I love colouring!! I am pleased with the card and..... drum roll... I won the SOG Critter Challenge with him! Which means I can buy even more of the fab images to colour!! Its WIN WIN! 

I used My Minds Eye papers and some new Doodlebug Washi tape and Heart stickers. The Red washi tape I actually bought in Tesco! The stamped greeting is from Paper Smooches and I just coloured the heart in with Poppy Promarker.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges... 

Craft for the Craic - Wings.

Polkadoodles - Things with Wings.  

Craft your passion -AATG

Crafty Calender - Things with Wings. 

Love to Scrap - ATG.  

Paper take weekly - Have a heart. 

Hope you like this Months Colour - Can't wait to see what colour Kristy will pick for next month... 

See you Soon,

Aprils Colour Mojo!

Mojo Yellow!
How do you feel about Yellow? I have to be honest its not a colour I turn to that much but this was fun to do. I did struggle a little bit as I like Bright (Ha! Who knew??!) and there aren't that many variations of bright but I have had a right good fiddle around and attached all the combos below.

 

For those who have been following the colour journal journey - This has been inspired by Some Odd Girl and Kristy - who uses Copics so its great to be able to convert the colours to Promarkers as there isn't as much guidance or colour combos out there for Pros as there are the Copics.

 

 

This image is a digi from Some Odd Girl and is called Duck In Boots. You can find him here. 

This image is a rubber stamp from Stamping Bell and is called Uptown Marcella. You can find her here.

And here are my colour combos of Yellow Promarkers -  Feel free to use them, link to them, share them etc but please leave a comment to say Hi or even better follow the blog as each month will be a different colour... Who knows what Kristy will choose next!

Thanks for reading and hope you Pros out there find them useful.

Some Odd Girl - Colour swatch Journal

I posted a little bit ago about starting my colour journal along with Some Odd Girl posting Colour swatches. The challenge was then set to take another person's colour combo and use it. I picked one from Kim Rippere, that I was drawn to as it was so bright and vibrant but not one I would have thought of myself....

I used Promarkers Sea Green, Turquoise, Emerald, Bright Green and Pale Citrus to colour the dress of Tropical Mae from Some Odd Girl. I love how it turned out - So bright. I hyped up the tropical feel with the Hibiscus flower coloured in with Sunflower, Mandarin and Hot Pink.

I did think about colouring the whole thing in but then I would have wanted to use the image on a card rather than in my Colour Journal so I left the image unfinished.
I can't wait to find out what colour is next on the little journey!

Promarkers Colour Journal & Colouring class.

 I've recently signed up for an colouring class with Kit and Clowder. I've only managed the first two classes so far but they have made me look at skin tone combos for Promarkers. I've found it really hard to find tutorials and combos for Promarkers on line as most are geared towards Copics or Spectrum Noir. I love my Promarkers (Soon to have the full set of both Promarkers and Flexmarkers - Whoop Whoop!) but the class teaches techniques which you can use with any medium.

At the same time -  Some Odd Girl started a Colour Journal project - Just the motivation I needed to record all my colour combos and practice colouring. It was Fate!! And I've loved decorating my Journal with this ace Stamping Bella image and Doodlebug letters.  I punched the edge tabs and then cut them in half and coloured them with Co-ordinated Promarkers. I used them to separate every two pages for each colour.

 
 The lovely Kristy posted a Copic colour swatch YG03 which I matched a close as I could to my Promarkers as Lime Zest. Here's the page I made so far... The image is "Cockatoo" a digi stamp from Some Odd Girl. 

 

So I'm going to share my combos with all you other Promarker users out there. As Some Odd Girl add the next colour so will I. And as I practice I will add more images to each page. My next class is Hair tones so that will be another page.

 Hope you find them useful - I'll keep adding my promarker colour combos... Ive also created a new folder on my Pinterest board. Please feel free to share but please link back to my Blog as I'd love more followers.

Thanks All, (:(|)X
