Hello Friends, How are you today? Welcome to a Hex Chart Video Hop hosted by Sandy Allnock . Sandy created a “Hex Color Chart” to help you select your colors when using Copic Markers & it’s for sale or you can win one. To start at the beginning of the hop go to Sandy’s blog and read the details about her Giveaway and more info on the chart she created. Today I have a card and a video for the hop 🙂
After finishing my card & video I spied one of Tim Holtz’s “Crazy Bird” stamps (that I previously colored) so……I cut the tail off and glued the crazy bird on my finished card. What do you think?
This is the card before the Crazy Bird. I am in love with the sentiment and the pretty flowers that go in this stamp set but, I really really wanted to use Paper Smooches ball jar stamp set and the matching die cut. I thought the flowers from Clearly Besotted fit the jar better. I masked off the flowers by painting some of the flowers with “Misket” and stamping more flowers. See how I made the card above in my video.

Here is a different video tutorial of the crazy birds being colored. I cut the tail so that the tail would show tucked behind the jar. Otherwise the tail would be hidden.
Some twine and sequins gave my card that finishing touch. Thanks for watching and if you would like to subscribe to my You Tube channel click here. Now it’s time to hop to my super talented friend Kristina Werner’s blog at KWerner Design. Have a great day! Hugs, Kathy

Great card and I will definitely get that chart today 🙂
Very pretty. Great coloring on the flowers.
Your card is adorable, and your bird is very matchy-matchy! Love how that works out sometimes. Can’t wait to get my hands on that hex chart :o)
Sweet card. Love that bird!
I love the sentiment! Sandy made a great copic chart, and good charts are few and far between!
Gotta love that bird! And I can’t believe how much difference the added grey shading makes on the flowers. Just gorgeous!
Great addition with the bird! Your coloring is absurdly wonderful! Love Sandy’s chart!
That’s hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.
Adding the bird made this pretty card so whimsical and fun! I really love the mason jar look for the bouquet of flowers with or without the bird.
that is the cutest card, love that sentiment…
Great cards. You really make it look easy to color with Copics. Thanks for sharing.
I love these birds but love more the way you color and enhance them. Isn’t this Copic chart the bomb?
Adorable card. Love your Copic shading. That’s for sharing the hex chart.
LOVE that birdie! Beautiful color choices, too! Sandy’ s hex chart is definitely going to help me build my Copic supply in a smart way rather than just relying on blind luck!
I love watching you color the flowers. Some great hints. Cute card!
Oh my goodness…. your card is so beautiful!!!!!
That bird was a great addition!
I just got my Crazy birds today so I cannot wait to use them in a bunch of wacky ways! Thanks for sharing!
I have those birds and can’t wait to follow your instructions!
I always love how you make coloring fun and easy, but still special and beautiful! I never thought to use my graph pad that way, thanks for all the tips, you never cease to amaze me! Hope your finger feels better soon.
Hugs,
Maureen
Wonderful coloring—altogether a super card. That bird has such an attitude.
Ha! The sentiment cracked me up and the crazy bird made me wet my plants (not really). Great card, great tips, great video. I always learn something. Thanks.

Love the sentiment! Thanks for sshowing your techniques!
What an awesome card! and love that you said in the video…Don’t worry about it, just go with it 🙂 Thank you for sharing
hi there… gr8 job of coloring and i enjoyed hearing the tips and techniques yes, but also the encouragement that it doesnt have to be perfect… i dont have copics yet but i do own a few old-fashioned spectrum noir markers and they never seemed to work from the start.. do you have some ideas for me in this marker area? sure appreciate time and efforts to help us all… sincerely glow:)
such an adorable card! love the bird!
Beautiful colors that you used. The Hex chart appears to be a good tool. Lovely coloring skills. Thank you for the video.
Oh Kathy…. Love, love, love this! And the bird?…is it’s crowning glory!
Love your card, and I do like the addition of the bird.
Great video. Great idea for the chart, can’t wait to use it.
This may be one of my most favorite cards of yours!
Hello Kathy you know I love your card that sentiment cracks me up lol gotta love humor your color as always beautiful thank you for the video
I too love the stamp and the addition of the bird! Great card! I hope you got the e-mail I sent. I have a question about the Copic Markers. They are very expensive to buy a set of them. I know what colors I love and what colors I wouldn’t use. What is so different between these markers and other markers? What makes them so special? I remember buying some markers from Joanne’s once. I bought one that was a very pretty girly pink because I loved that color. The cap was that color. When I used the pen, it wasn’t that color. The same with a lot of the pens I bought. They were for fabric but could be used on paper too. They dried out quickly. I was so mad! Can you buy the Copic’s individually so you can try them out?
I LOVE your zany Card, so funny!
Love the card, but the addition of the bird is just priceless. Makes me smile all over! TFS
What a cute card. I love the bird, but I also liked learning how you colored the jar. Thanks for all the tips!
I love this card, Kathy! I just received that floral set in the mail recently so you’ve inspired me to give coloring it a go!
What a cute card! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this adorable card and techniques with us all.
Just love the cards. Love the flowers, coloring and that bird just makes it the sweetest. Just love watching you color!

Love the way you added the bird behind the jar. Beautiful card! Looking forward to you next 30 day color challenge
I like your creations today. They put a smile on my face. And I especially like that you used the graph paper to give us a sample chart of the colors you used. Makes for a super easy reference.
What a great card! I love the sentiment 🙂 PS I am so looking forward to the 2nd 30 day coloring challenge!!
This bird stamp always cracks me up…too cute!
Can’t wait to use the hex chart. Amazed someone hasn’t created one sooner : )
Love this card and can’t wait to try out the Hex Chart
Thanks for the tip of using the cool and warm grays for a background around the stamped image. I did not notice it the first time I looked at the card, but it makes a difference. LOVE the addition of the bird! LOL
Kathy, the card was beautiful and then you added that crazy bird! Now it’s beautiful AND perfect! It’s funny, when you started coloring with the first color I was like, …oh, I don’t really like that color, but when you added the next color and blended them I loved the results. Lesson learned: try new colors and color combinations!!!
Sandy’s chart is going to help me explore new colors. It’s genius!
One question, where do you get your graph pad? I’ve been using a large newsprint pad, but the graph pad looks awesome.
Thanks so much Mardi!! The pad is a prototype and will be available at Simon Says Stamp soon. 🙂
I love how you colored the flowers and the vase! They pop off of the card! <3
Love how you’ve added the bird!! Too cute!! Adorable card and wonderful coloring!

That sentiment made me giggle. What a fun card! I’m fairly new to the world of Copic markers, so the videos from you and Sandy have been invaluable to me, much as I’m sure the hex chart will be as well. I’ve already purchased it and got mine filled in with the markers I own.
