My Favorite Things – Camp Create Day 1

Posted in CLean and simple, Copic, My Favorite Things, Uncategorized by jesscbanks

Hey everyone! I am a little late getting started, but I am hoping to finish all the badges I will have two of them for you all today, the first one is Wonderful Watercolor! It is one of my favourite mediums (who I am kidding they all are!)

So for today’s card I pulled out the My Favorite Things – Farm Friends stamp set (I am going to try something new on my blog and link all the products used at the bottom of this post so they are easy to find) and coloured it all up, There is a video of me colouring all the images attached at the bottom of the post.

I kept everything super fun and washy in the background, which is something I have really been enjoying doing for the last little while. An awesome sentiment from the same set and a few dots using my Nuvo Drops and this card was complete! That is why I love doing this backgrounds cards and super fun and easy!

This video also includes colouring for a card that will go up following this one!

Hey everyone! Happy Saturday! Today it is time for a new challenge over at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps. Make sure you play along, you could win a gift card to the store!!!

This weeks challenge theme is Mermaids! One of my favourite things to colour (okay everything is one of my favourite things to colour. I coloured up Florence Finbottom for today’s card!

I pulled out my Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and spent hours working on this no lines mermaid. I love how she came out and that the background is like bubbles filled in to allow there to be lots of white space. I did not keep track of the coloured pencils used for this one as I just kept layering and colouring and did most of it outside enjoying a fire.

Playing Marbles

Posted in CLean and simple, Copic, Uncategorized by jesscbanks

Hey everyone! Today I have a card to share featuring Playing Marbles from The Paper Shelter. This was a special request card and it took me forever to find and image I liked with kids playing marbles.

I coloured these little guys up with my copic markers, unfortunately I did’t write down all the markers I used, this was a last minute card. But it turned out ever so sweet.

I created the sentiment myself, so that it fit the event and humour of the family that asked for the card.

Little Mermaids

Posted in CLean and simple, Copic, distress ink, The Greeting Farm, Uncategorized by jesscbanks

Hey everyone! It is the first of the month!!! And that means another challenge is live from The Greeting Farm!!!

The theme this time is summer, and I went with some mermaids, because everyone swims in summer!!

I coloured up one of the mermaids and a couple of the fish from the Little Mermaids set then cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I created the background using distress inks and then some water to create the splats.
