Challenge No. 28 ~ Monochrome
Welcome! It’s time for a new Copic Creations challenge. This week we are featuring MONOCHROME Copic Coloring! For those who are unfamiliar with this term, here’s the definition from Dictionary.com: A monochrome or monochromatic painting is one created using only one color or hue.
We did have a little help from our SUPER talented sponsor for this challenge . . . Katie Cotton! Katie is the creator and owner of the stamp company Paper Makeup Stamps. I hope you have the time to visit her store, she has some awesome images that are perfect for Copic coloring. Everyone on the CC Design Team has created some true masterpieces using this technique and images graciously supplied to us by Katie from Paper Makeup Stamps.
In addition to her paper crafting expertise, Katie is a phenomenal professional makeup artist and hair stylist! You really should take a peek at her makeup and hair blog – My Makeup Artist Blog. Talk about one talented lady!
We are fortunate to have Katie joining us today as a Guest Designer, with THREE monochrome colored cards! She definitely knows her stuff when it comes to monochromatic coloring. She has also recorded two extremely helpful video tutorials on this technique, which we’ve included in the tutorial section below.
Here are links to ALL of Katie’s blogs for your perusal:
