Color a Unique Easter Card with Copic Markers

February 21, 2020 by Sandy Allnock 9 Comments Filed Under: Copic Advanced

This is a rather unique Easter card….in that it doesn’t look much like one aside from having chicks in it!

Supplies for this project are linked at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links may be used at no cost to you.

I started by using my MISTI and some Eclipse tape to create a circle of chickies…are they playing….chick around the Easter egg? chick chick rooster?

Watch the video on YT.

COLORING TIPS

The colors used are intensely barn-y ones – nice rich, warm colors in the foreground. Then soft, lighter colors for the distant farm and trees.

Creating the distance in the picture really does come from the color intensity difference – the contrast pulls the barn way out in front of the scene!

FINISHING TIPS

I tried all different colors for card bases, not wanting to make yet one more yellow card, but ya know….sometimes it just works! If it weren’t for Easter I might have gone with a dark brown, but I’m not sure I’ve ever made an Easter card with a brown base. Have you?

    Veery cute! Love the idea of chicks playing “Chick, chick, rooster”. I’ll be chuckling to myself all day over that one! But you also gave some great tips about the ease of changing stamps to fit our own needs of the moment – even backward facing feet!!!
