August 10th Challenge at SCC - Collette

Welcome to the Simply Steampunk Challenge for August 10, 2014.

"Rip n Tear make it look beat up"

Please make sure that you read the rules under the Rules tab. 
Come one, grab a Steampunk image and let's have some fun!
On my picture below, it is hard to tell in the pic that I did do some "rip/tearing",
so I did take 2 closer up pics so you could see I did do it.  lol
You can rip/tear way more than I did.  Soo, have fun with it.
 
Today I am showing you Collette.

  Can you see the tearing??

Here above I tried to show the tearing at the top of the card.
 
Be sure you go see what others from our DT has done for you.
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again soon.

Copic Marker / Spectrum Noir Color conversion chart

Corinne Jones and myself have been working on getting the colors matched up with Copic / Spectrum Noir colors. This is the chart we made and have added Copic colors next to them. 
As you can see there is not a color for every one, not all Spectrum Noir colors have a Copic color that will come close enough for us to put a match with. 
This chart is done up on X Press It paper so you know this is what the colors will look like on this paper. 
My suggestion to you if you own the Spectrum Noir markers like I do and are needing colors that are in between on the color chart I would go purchase them as Copic's and use them together as there ARE big gaps in the Spectrum Noir color system.

Please feel free to download / save this chart
We hope this helps you out with figuring out the colors of spectrum Noir Markers. 
If you have the OLD Spectrum Noir markers you can download a Spectrum Noir color chart from here that has the numbers of the old markers on it so you can see what color is what. for example LG1 is 173 in the old markers.

ArtByMiRan - Smart Samantha

Wow oh wow, Are you getting your kids ready to head back to school soon?
Or maybe you are a Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle, brother or sister of someone about
 to head back to school.
What a great digi Smart Samantha is for that special one going back to school.
I put her in front of this tree and pathway to give a "full scene" but you
sure don't have to.  She is great all by herself.  I flipped her around facing the
other direction in my Word program so she could "walk" right up the pathway.
Jump on over to ArtbyMiran and purchase this great digi here.

This is Smart Samantha.  
This is colored with Spectrum Noir Markers.
I used:  sooooooooooo many colors, I will try to list them all.
BP7, BP5, BP4, BP2, BP1, TN4, TN3, GB2, GB1,
EB8, EB3, GB7, DG4, DG3, DG2, DG1,
GB3, CT4, CT2, BGR4, BGR3, BGR2, BGR1, FL3, FL2, FL1
Then the blue sky is just a blue ink pad and I used my
stencil brush and dotted it on the ink pad and then onto the image area I needed.

I would love for you to become a follower of my Blog, along with visiting 
the shop to see all of the wonderful images artbymiran has to offer!

There is an artbymiran Facebook Page, where we offer Monthly Challenges. 
We would love for you to come join us and get to know Mi Ran and the DT.
We also have bi-weekly challenges at the Artbymiran Challenge Blog!
Come and join in and have some fun with us.
Well, we will see you again real soon and thanks for stopping by to see what I created for you today.
