No-Border Tutorial

Happy Friday TPE Fans!!

 

This week Joni created a super FUN card for the Summer Challenge using a No-Border technique.  She posted a tutorial on her blog and gave us permission to share it with you here...Thanks Joni!!

 

 

Ink up your image in a light color
(I use Pretty in Pink by Stampin' Up or Memento Angel Pink)
at first it may look like a project gone wrong:

 

Start coloring in your main base of skin tone (R00):

 

Now fill in your other layer of skin tones (YR00 and E95 for shading):

 

 I know she's looking kind of funny, right?
Especially since that picture came out the WORSE and there was no way I could go back. ;)

But grab a good fine point pen and draw in the details (Copic multiliner .5):

 

Now start coloring in the hair (100, N7, N4):

(See? She looks better already. heehee! And I moved to a different part of my table...)

 

I like to 'flick' my copics and follow the direction of the original lines,

which I think keeps the 'movement' of the hair (100, N7):

 

Fill in the white part with your lightest color (N4):

 

Work in small sections to keep your copics wet which blends best.

Here is another part of her hair:
{part 1}

 

{part 2 blended}

 

And then the rest of it:

 

Now the fun part!
Start working on her other details (eye shadow, cheeks -R93, and swimsuit):

 

As well as the other important stuff:

 

And now you're done! :)

So there you have it, Cheeky in all her no-border splendor.

I hope you all give it a try - it's a very rewarding technique!

I also like to keep the original image with outline close at hand, for reference.

This really helps when drawing in the details with the multiliner and defining the different areas.
