Card Samples

what the heck is a COLOUR MAP you ask???

Sistahs,  Elaineabella and I have put our heads together and we have come up with a FANTABULOUS ideaR… wanna hear?  k.

why it’s Colourmaps of course!

We will slowly be introducing colourmaps which will be included with every current image we have.. this IS a work in progress and right now we have  UPTOWN GIRL REILLY and UPTOWN GIRLS the THREE AMIGAS available.  These colourmaps will be available to those purchasing the images as of today.  I will update in the descriptions of the stamps if there is a colourmap included or not.  We will also be offering different downloadable colourmaps for a nominal fee in the near future.

Ok.  I took a breath… and now I will tell you what a COLOURMAP is.

Throughout my almost 10 years of Stamping Bella I have always gotten the questions.. how do I colour these images?  What do you recommend?  Copics?  how do they work?  what colours do I use?  what colours blend together?  HELPPPP MEEEEE…

Well Elaineabella and I have solved this problem 🙂

and this is what a colourmap is

COLOURMAPS

So what you will receive with the stamp is a copic “guide” with blendable colours and inspiration for blends in conjunction with our images!  Seriously.  This is brilliant.  no?

Oh and you will notice we have a new logo :)… There is a new website coming soon with a great new look.. easy navigation along with a release and some amazing news and product…

so bear with us sistahs during this CUH-razy time… we are still here making some magic happen

here’s a closeup of our new logo coming soon to a theatre near you 🙂

    Cool new logo and love the color guides. Too bad i dont color with copics.

  2. Kathy Andrews says:

    Can’t wait to see the pencils because I’m not a Copic fan either.

    I totally dig this idea! And I love the new logo, too 🙂 Looking forward to a new blog redo, too! You’re doing a good job, Em 🙂

    I love this idea! Copics (and any other alcohol marker) for the beginner (read me) can be challenging, the colour map is a great jump start and leads to more adventure with colour. Thanks a bunch!

  5. I think it is an awesome idea!!!People ask me question all the time about colour combos and how I chose this and that..once again awesome idea

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!! I struggle with combining colors (Copics) and your cards are ones that I want to create from, and by adding a Colour Map to the cards you present is beyond words. I know this takes a lot of work on your part and it will be much appreciated .. especially by me 🙂

  7. Camille Camarato says:

    Love this idea since I just took a Copic marker class and love coloring with them.

  8. Jennifirst says:

    Finally! So glad. When Copics originally came out, people were SOOOO careful NOT to make specific color combos/recommendations on their blogs. So glad to see the shift – lift the frustration for newbies. Recommendations give the rest of us a springboard form which to make our own color decisions. Bravo to you for being trailblazers!

    LOVE the colour map idea, Em!! Great idea – should be a huge help to everyone looking for guidance with their coloring. ???? the new logo looks pretty awesome too!

    I think this is an awesome idea!!! I don’t use copics but I use colored pencils and gel pens. I have trouble picking colors so this would really be nice.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am always trying to figure out what color people use when coloring with Copics. Colour maps are such an AWESOME idea! I’m going to have to place an order just to get one, lol

  16. Eva says:

    I love your color guide. Could you also have one for Spectrum Noir markers? I don’t own any Copic markers. Thanks.
