**VIDEO** Coloring w/ Touch Twin Markers – A New Day Stamp Set

December 18, 2015

Hello! It is so great to be back in my crafting studio and create. Thanks for all your kind words and emails while I was away, you guys rock!

Since I first introduced the Touch Twin Markers, I’ve gotten a lot of requests to do more detailed videos on these so you guys can see more. So for the next few weeks, I will be purely focusing on coloring with these markers so you can see how they blend and work well with each other. In these videos, you will be able to see colors more closed up and how you can use different techniques to get more out of them.

In today’s video, I coloredΒ a bird image fromΒ the A New Day stamp set byΒ Wplus9. I am so in love with this bird, this had to be one of the first coloring projects I wanted to work on. Enjoy the video tutorial below to see how you can color the image with Touch Twin Markers.

Touch Twin Markers have 2 different types – ones that areΒ in white body (the ones I am using) have a brush tip, and a chisel tip. This one will be the most comparable one to the Copic marker, for those who are looking for cheaper alternative. The other ones are in black body that has a fine tip and a chisel tip. So you can choose the ones that would work best for your colors needs.

In the video above, I also shared a peek at my marker swatches. Here is the link to the free downloadable grid paper I used as a swatch.

Even if you do not have the markers I am using, you can still get this look by using any alcohol based markers you own. I used a lot of flicking motion to colors in the bird so it has some nice textures. As long as you color the image with the same flicking technique, you can get the same look as I did on this project.

I also didn’t fill in the whole outlined image when coloring it with the markers. I wanted to create a watercolored look a bit so I left some white spaces in between the images. I think some white spots can make your image to pop out even more.

Colors Used: Y35, YR31, R11, 0, CG2, CG4, CG8, 120, BR101, BR102, GY47, G242

Hope you enjoyed today’s video tutorial! I will do more videos on coloring with the Touch Twin Makers so stay tuned!

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season πŸ’• sending hugs and loves to your way ❀️❀️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view πŸ₯°πŸ₯° New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. β€οΈπŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ’œ #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ‘‹πŸ» I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now πŸ’•

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. πŸ˜… Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! πŸ‘πŸ» While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy πŸ₯°πŸ₯° Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- πŸ’•πŸ’• I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not πŸ˜‚) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope πŸ™πŸ» I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead πŸ’™

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
