#156 Sketch Saturday & Touch Twin Alcohol Markers

Wednesday, August 13, 2014

I've been busy with my Twin Touch Markers ... and thought this design
would be perfect for this weeks Sketch Saturday Challenge!

What I really love about challenges is that you can interpret the sketch how you like ... LOVE that artistic freedom for sure ... that's one of the things that make challenges inspiring and fun!

So ... this is my take on this weeks challenge.

When I colored these balloons my goal was to show you some various
options using your Twin Touch Markers.

For this image I used only 5 colors and my Colorless Blender:

YR26 Pastel Peach
YR29 Barely Beige
BR116 Clay
R140 Light Orange
RP198 Tender Pink
Colorless Blender

I used Glacier to sponge in my clouds and the cardstock was a CTMH special pack that I've been hoarding. {smiles}

TIP: Glacier is THE color to add to your palette this year! It is perfect for everything!

This card features Originals pattern Flap Overlap on page 121 of Originals.
If you are looking at this pattern ... you can see that I obviously modified it ...
as I don't have a flap that opens up. Again, I LOVE that you can take a sketch and
again interpret it how you like. We all need that artistic freedom.

For this card I used Twin Touch Markers:

B68 Turquoise Blue
BG61 Peacock Green
Y49 Pastel Green
GY234 Leaf Green
P282 Peony Purple
Colorless Blender
C1 Cool Gray Copic Marker

This image is stamped and colored on Watercolor Paper.

I used VersaMark and clear emboss powder to emboss the butterflies onto the turquoise cardstock.

Balloon Bookmark

This pattern is called Presented to You and is on page 62 of Originals.
Can I tell you how much I.LOVE.THIS.PALETTE! LOOOOOOVE!
Pink, Green and Yellow are my HAPPY place!

When I saw this layout I knew it would be PERFECT for my bookmark!
For this card I used Twin Touch Markers:

RP198 Tender Pink
R5 Cherry Pink
Y222 Golden Yellow
Y49 Pastel Green
GY234 Leaf Green
YR29 Barely Beige
BR96 Mahogany
Colorless Blender
C1 Cool Gray Copic Marker

This happy, whimsical palette pairs perfectly with my Lollydoodle papers and pink cardstock. YUM!

And, of course, Liquid Glass is the finishing touch for every project!

Fancy Fold Balloon

I LOVE this color palette as much as I LOVE the pink and green palette above!
LOVE IT I say! It just makes me happy.

This card features a card fold we did at Convention with a Halloween card ...
I thought it was perfect with this card as well.

For this card I used Twin Touch Markers:

B68 Turquoise Blue
BG61 Peacock Green
P282 Peony Purple
Colorless Blender
C3 Cool Gray Copic Marker

That's it ... basically only THREE COLORS!

Here is a top view of this card.
The BACK of the card is on the BOTTOM.

This card is super easy to make.
You need a 4 x 8 piece of cardstock.
Fold it in half so it measures 4 x 4.
Take the card front and fold it in half so that each of the card front panels now measures 2 x 4. TADA!

I LOVE this happy card! And I LOVE my Turquoise Glitter Paper with it ... be still my heart!

Vintage Balloon

My goal with this card was to show you yet ANOTHER palette you can achieve
with your Twin Touch Markers. Here I have used the following markers:

YR26 Pastel Peach
YR29 Barely Beige
R140 Light Orange
RP198 Tender Pink
Y29 Pastel Green
GY235 Sap Green
BR96 Mahogany
B68 Turquoise Blue
BG61 Peacock Blue Colorless Blender

For this card I pulled out some vintage papers from my stash and used
Originals Pattern Puzzle Backdrop on page 91 of Originals.

I wish I would have popped up the 4 corner background on pop dots ...
but I realized that too late ... I was already adhered to the floral base. BIG sigh.
