Hey everyone! I am super excited to be kicking off the C.C. Designs Previews this month!

C.C. Designs - Trim the Tree - Jessie Banks

I coloured up a couple of the images from the Trim the Tree stamp set with my copic markers. Then on the background I used my Pan Pastels through a brick stencil. A small piece of navy cardstock with a heat embossed sentiment (which came from the same stamp set) finished off the front of this card!

Make sure you stop by the C.C. Designs blog to see what everyone else has made!

Kraftin Kimmie Stamps - Spooky suckers 2- Jessie Banks

I love how he is peeking in from the side, and the stark white background allows them to appear as though they are floating. I always wanted to float as a child, not necessarily fly, but float. Yes, I was an odd kid.

Check out the Orange and Purple creations from our fabby design team and guests!

I am so honoured to be guesting for them, fingers crossed I will get to do it again one day lol!

I am super thrilled to be sharing some more inspiration using their October release, as per usual this release was the bomb!

MFT Stamps - Holiday Cheer - Jessie Banks

This Pure Innocence image is ever so sweet with all her little packages, she needed to be the focus on a card for sure! I loved the embossing, inking and copic colourin all together.

I do have a complete process video for you all!

Thank you all so much for watching and checking out my blog!

Colour Focus – Nickel Azo Yellow

Hey everyone! Today’s colour focus is going to focus on one of my favorite yellows, Nickel Azo Yellow, PY150. I love this colour for it’s bright glowing washes, and it’s rich mass tones. This pigment is a staple in making the new versions of my beloved Quinacridon Gold as well!

I love the variations of colours you can achieve with mixing this, I had a hard time getting all the colours to appear correctly for this one, those purple tones of to the right, are actually more brown with purple undertones, as you will see in the video, but the rest of the colours are true.

I hope you enjoyed the video, of course I have a small product list for you all.

Today’s set is called Cool Critters, and features some super adorable little winder dressed cuties!

KRaftin Kimmie Stamps - Cool Critters - Jessie Banks

I decided to pull out my watercolours and paint up this adorable little mouse. Once the card front was painted it felt like something was missing, so I pulled out some of my metallic paints and added a little shimmer to the glow of the lantern.
