The Greeting Farm - Lift off go time - Jessie Banks.jpg

I did tons of masking for this card, combining Mega-Mini Go Time, and Mega Mini Lift Off. I created the background with my Distress Oxides on Kraft Cardstock, then coloured up all the rest using my coloured pencils, I mix Prisma Colour and Polychromos Pencils.

I have been making tons of Happy Birthday cards lately, I was running low! I hope you found some inspiration in this and you play along

Kraftin Kimmie Stamps - My Best Friends are Witches - Jessie Banks.jpg

I had posted a question in the Kraftin Kimmie Facebook group wondering what I should colour. Keersten answered me with “Something witchy, but non traditional colours” So here she is from the My Best Friends are Witches stamp set. I created the background with my distress inks then coloured her up with my copic makers. The sentiment came from another witch stamp set!

Thanks for stopping by,
I can not wait to see what you create this week!

Let’s Fiesta!

Hey everyone! Today I have a fun card to share with you all featuring SugarPea Designs Let’s Fiesta stamp!

Sugar Pea Designs - Lets Fiesta - Jessie Banks.jpg

I have been loving building scenes with lots of masking, so first I cut out the masks for the 3 images I put on the card. I then stamped and masked them all out so I could create the sunset with my distress inks. I coloured up the images with my copic makers, then enhanced with a little black coloured pencil. I then splashed a little water on the backgroud to add a bit more interest.

Up in the Air

Posted in CLean and simple, Copic, distress ink, My Favorite Things, Prisma Color Pencils, Uncategorized, Watercolor by

Hey all! Today I have a card just for fun! I created this one layer card featuring My Favorite Things Up in the Air, and My Favorite Things Ewe are the Best.

My Favotire things - Up in the Air - 1- Jessie Banks.jpg

I created masks for all these little stamps using masking paper. Which allowed me to create the background with distress inks, I created a cloud stencil by stamping the clouds touching and fussy cutting them out. After, I coloured all of the images up with my copic markers. I then enhanced the background with a little bit of watercolours and the images with a black coloured pencil and a white gel pen.
