Tobi Crawford - New Stampendous Hay Ride Kiddos!

Hi there! It’s Tobi Crawford here again with some fresh inspiration using one of our newly released stamps: Cling Hay Ride Kiddos. (they’re also available as a wood mounted stamp!)

I am totally smitten by the “Kiddos,” and I am so excited about all of the new ones released this summer!! They are a joy to colour up with Copics, and that’s just what I did on today’s project.

Isn’t this the perfect Thanksgiving card? As mentioned I coloured the image with Copics, but I also added a little *extra* with a charcoal pencil in areas where shadow would occur.. Here’s a close-up:

You can see where I’ve added some charcoal to the corners of his hat, as well as a little under his head. Once applied I use a blending stump to soften the line (kind of like you’re supposed to do with eyeliner – it behaves in a very similar way) and that’s that! My husband is very impressed with this technique, so much so that he wants a lesson… Ain’t that cute?? lol..

Thanks for stopping by!
