My entry for MFT’s 2022 Card Design Superstar.

Hi all! Today I have my entry for the Coloring Virtuoso category. I used the ever popular Viking. I just love him to pieces. I had so much fun trying to make him over the top with coloring. I added pencil over my Copics in several areas. Two different nuvo drops and can you believe the Axe head has 7 shades of Toner Grey?! I even researched Viking Shields to get the colors authentic to the pattern. SO MUCH FUN!!! Now, on with the Show and Tell…

Since I wanted the main focus to be the Viking and the way he was colored I decided against setting him in any type of scene. I just made him standing on a tiny hill.

His shield is traditional in color and the Axe head has 7 shades of Toner Grey! About 22 different E’s throughout!

His furry vest got the texture by using the Copic rag technique.

My Clean and Simple Genius entry for MFT’s 2022 Card Design Superstar contest.

Hi All! This year I am all in on MFT’s Superstar Contest. I have this entry for Clean and Simple and I will enter the Coloring Virtuoso too! For my Clean and Simple card I used a set I have had for a while and used often! Gill Friends, is a great set with all different fish and great punny sentiments. Now, on with the Show and Tell…

I kept the layers at a minimum, which if you follow me you know can be a bit of a struggle. I do love the way the tiny plaid looks just barely peeking around the edge.

My fishy is done all in BG’s with a bit of Chartreuse PC989 Prismacolor added for the tiniest hint of yellow.

Nuvo Drops in Aqua Plains make my bubbles bubbly with a hint of color.

Copic List:

  • Fish: BG49, BG13. BG11, BG34, BG32
  • Plant: YG17, YG13, YG11

Prismacolor Pencil List:

  • Fish: Light Aqua PC992, Chartreuse PC989

Card Details:

  • Card base of Accent Opaque White 120lb
  • Cheerful Plaid layer cut with rectangle die, adhered with fun foam and 1/4 inch double sdie adhesive
  • Image stamped on Hammermill with Obsidian, colored with various Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils, adhered with tape runner
  • Sentiment stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with clear powder
  • White gel pen added for highlights
  • Nuvo Drops in Aqua Plains added to bubbles
