Skin, Hair & Eyes Class

The 2nd class that is scheduled is on "Skin, Hair & Eyes". It's pretty obvious what you will learn in this class. You will leave knowing the basic color grouping for skin. But you will also have a chart of all skin colors to use. Same with Hair. We will color one of the combinations, but you will have a chart for home that has all the most common combinations on it.We'll also do a very brief tutorial on eyes. It's pretty cool! You will need the following list of Copic Markers for this class- E000, E00, E11, R20, E53, E55, E57, Y11, Y21, YR21, N2 & .35 Black Multiliner.

Here are the sample cards that you will see posted at Daisy Lane.

Copic Basics Class #1

Last week I told you all that I am going to start teaching some classes at a local Scrapbook Store. My blog will be directed towards those that come there for a while.

There will be a series of 14 different classes that you can choose from Wow! I have been designing example cards for each of those classes for the past 2 weeks. It's very time consuming. I'm almost finished. I thought I would share these cards on my blog so that if any of the Daisy Lane Customers want to look at them at home they can.

The first class will be "Copic Basics". I will cover all the fundamentals about Copic Markers. The different types, storage, refilling, replacing nibs, explanation of letters & numbers. We will go over the Copic Color Chart and a little bit about how beneficial using a color wheel can be. I will show my personal SWATCH book. I will have plenty of handouts that cover all the information given in class plus a lot more that there just won't be time for. We'll talk about color groups and how you can pick your colors out.


In this class, we will also do handson. You will learn various ways to lay down color and blend it together. You will need the following Copic Markers for this class- B93, B97, E25, YR24, RV93 & C. Blender. The following two cards are the two methods we will practice in class.

You will learn a ton of information in this class. And I'm sure everything will be anxious to color, color, color. But knowing the basics first is crucial to your happiness and well being with Copics. Trust me!

Okay, I'll post information on the 2nd class soon. Feel free to email me with any questions about this class that you may have.


I'll be doing demos on Jan 22 from11-4 at the store in Mattoon.

The first class for the public is:
February 12th. 10am-noon Basic Copics Class

Sign up now at the store for your classes. I expect them to fill up fast.

New Copic Teaching Job

Hey Everyone,
I'm so excited! I am going to start teach Copic Classes at a major Scrapbook store about 75 miles from my home. That seems like a long way, but it's only 2 Saturday's a month. Since it's a little bit of a drive, we are going to utilize Saturday to the full. I'll have at least 2 classes during the day. Maybe some time to demo for new customers too. We'll be offering 14 different classes. I've found that most scrapbook stores only offer basic beginner type stuff. You can choose to just do beginner stuff, but for those that really get interested, they can learn all kinds of skills and get more and more detailed.

It is exciting, but sooooo time consuming getting all the stuff ready, so.......see ya later!

Too many irons in the Fire!

Last December one of my nieces got married. I got involved in making a bunch of shower decorations with my cricut. They were really cute. And I made her shower cake and then her wedding cake.

This Jan 2, her younger sister is getting married. Here I go again. So far, I'm only doing the wedding cake. Only! Yikes! The one I made last year was the last one I made. I've been so involved in Copic Classes and learning new techniques myself, I've not kept practicing.

Oh well. She sent me a pic of the cake she likes but reversing the colors. I started to sketch it out, then got carried away and started adding Cricut flowers and ribbon & beads. My little drawing is probably cuter than the actual cake will be. But this is what I'm going to try and do.

More Loralie Designs Stamps

Well, I received my new stamp sets from Loralie Designs yesterday. I had to sit down and make a couple. I absolutely love doing this type of coloring.

This one is called "For You". I did her in Copics. I'm playing with a new method for skin. First I laid down E00 all over. Then I used E02 around the edges of her face and lightly feathered it inward. I then took E11 and put a very thin shadow line all around her hair and "shadowed areas" and then added her R20 blush and then took E00 and blended it all together.

I did the same on her arms but only put the shadows next to her body. I then used E04 and added the darkest shadows you see on her eyes, under her chin and arms.

This next one is called "Charlotte".

I again used the same method on her skin, but used E000 all over, E00 for shading, R20 for blush and E02 for thin shadow.

Blended all together with the E000. I then used the E04 for dark shadows again.

You'll be seeing a lot of these ladies for a while as I play around with them.

Summer Copic Class Series is Done!

Hello Everyone,

Wow! The summer went fast. I didn't realize getting together a class each week would be so time consuming. But it sure was! The first series is over and I'm looking to fill up a class to start in November.

In the meantime, I let my stash of cards get dangerously low. I threw these two together. The stamp is by Loralie Designs. I love her stuff. I just ordered several more of her stamps.

This one is done in Y11, Y15, Y17 & Y19. The Violets are V12,V15 & V17.



The colors on this one are BG11,BG15 & BG18. The reds are R24, R27 & R29.
It's a tiny bit out of focus as the brad I added messed up the scanning.



I hope to do some challenges really soon.
Til Later!

3rd Place Winner at Tiffany Doodles Challenge

Hi everyone,
I won again at the Tiffany Doodles challenge. The card you see in the previous blog is the 3rd place winner! I do love winning! I don't know how the rest of you girls find time to blog during the summer. I can barely keep up with getting materials ready for my Copic Classes. We are off the the Lake of the Ozarks later this week. So, maybe I'll have a chance to make some cards to post then.

We are also remodeling (an ongoing thing) and my office/scrapbook room is on the schedule for tomorrow. That means no computer and no area to do anything for a few days.

So, I hope to talk to you all next week.
