MFT June Ingenious Inking Challenge

Hi everyone! Today I’m back with a card for the My Favorite Things June Ingenious Inking Challenge!

This time the Design Team is going to show you how to mix the MFT Hybrid Inks with Copic coloring. I couldn’t resist and I colored one of my favorite Birdie Brown set called You have my heart. I stamped the image with Black Licorice Hybrid Ink. Here are some step-by-step pictures where you can see how I colored the hair: 

I colored the stamped image with Copic markers and FOR THIS TIME ONLY (lol) I wrote down which colors I used for the hair:  Y21, YR23, E33, E29 and E49. (Please, don’t mind, but you know, usually, I go with my feeling when I color and I pick the markers randomly in the jar. I enjoy coloring in this way. It is what works best for me. You'll find TONS of color combinations on the Internet or Pinterest). I always color the skin at first and then I work from the top and the bottom of the hair to the center to blend the colors out. It makes blending much easier if you apply the colors in a flicking motion. For this image, I went from lighter to darker shades. Here is my finished card:

I made the sky using the Die-namics Wonky Scallop Border as a mask and I sponged some blue dye ink over it. Then I added a grass border cut from the Die-namics Grassy Fields. The sentiment is from another Birdie Brown set called You make my tail wag.
