Faux Folk Art with Cricut and Copic Markers

 


I have been obsessing over folk art painting on Pinterest this week and have been wanting to try this look with my Cricut.  So, last night I gave it a try and hope you like my results as much as I do.  



Here is the inspiration folk art piece and the link.

I started with Cricut and cut a dark blue folk art image from the Paper Lace 2 Cartridge.  I cut the light blue doily from Anna's Spendid Soirees and hit most of the cuts except the outside row.  The sentiment is also Anna Griffin.  I cut a plain white circle to back up the folk art cut.  The dark blue leaves are cut from card stock.  I used Copic markers, and a white colored pencil to color and then finished off with some Stickles, and The Robin's Nest Dew Drops.  


To color the flowers and get them they way I wanted I used my Cricut Bright pad.  I placed the dark blue on the bottom, placed the white paper on top and taped it using some low tack tape.  Then I colored with the Copics and went a little outside the lines.  I flipped this over when done coloring, so that the blue was on top and the white on the bottom.  


The borders are created with SU border punches.  And the light blue strip at the bottom with the blue pattern was made with an SU stamp set.  I borrowed this stamp years ago at a crop and had this piece in my scrap stash.

Copics used BV00, V09m V04, B21, B32, B34, and B66.

Happy National Coloring Book Day!

Happy National Coloring Book day!  Have you jumped on the coloring book bandwagon?  While I love creating and all things paper, I just have not tried this, so today's the day.  I struggle with the amount of time I would spend coloring and would want to save every piece and some how show case them.  But there are a few things I want to try this technique on:   scrapbook pages and cards!
So, today I am sharing a page I scrapped for my Anna Griffin Planner/Quotes to Live By Album.  I am scrapping my planner monthly cover pages to use them later in a Quotes to Live By Album.  Here is the quote on this page, "  The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.  Sir John Lubbock."  I hope as a parent, I can foster this desire to learn their entire lives!
Wondering how I chose my colors?  Well, I let Anna Griffin's planner inspire me!  I worked to have two shades of pink in one petal, I worked to have the contrast of the green and pink or red, and I added some yellow to pull in the yellow and white paper.  And don't forget to use white as a color!  To go with the learning quote I added a caterpillar and a butterfly sticker.
And for those of you following my August with Anna posts, Anna Griffin has a coloring book too!  You can find it here.
