CC Designs - Magical Princess - Jessie Banks

I used one of the adorable princesses and her mouse to create this card, I am sorry not to have a complete list of markers used, I coloured these while my son was doing one of his extra curricular activities.

Die cut them out with their co ordinating dies and popped them on top of a background created with a stencil and my Distress inks. Stamping the sentiment below them finished off this card!
This release will be available for purchase on Thursday evening at 7pm CST/8pm EST.

Hey everyone! It is time for a new release from Power Poppy!! This new digital image is called Blossoming Cherries! This is a gorgeous branch of floral with three sentiments to go along with it! I have always loved colouring and painting up floral images!

Power Poppy - Blossoming Cherries - Jessie Banks

I painted this one up with my Daniel Smith watercolours, using transparent laters on Fabriano Artistico 140lbs hotpress watercolour paper!

Isn’t Marcella just a genious with the images she gives us to play with!

A Lil’ Magic

Posted in CLean and simple, The Greeting Farm, Uncategorized, Watercolor by

Hey everyone! Jessie here today, sharing a fun little watercoloured card using A Lil’ Magic stamp set!

I stamped all my images and sentiment out with Versafine Onyx black ink then painted it up with my Daniel Smith watercolours. I love this splashy little scene, a super quick and soft card! It is always fun with watercolours how you can build up your shadows and intensity just by layering the same colour over itself.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jessie

It is time for another rubber rerelease for Kraftin Kimmie Stamps! This time we have Smells Like Teen Spirit! I love when we get one for the boys!

26230310_10155746429316014_6216438707406095454_n

This is a pre trimmed red rubber stamp set! Look at those awesome images, my son is 8 and those are probably the three most common poses for him too.  I love the handful of sentiments that come along with it!

I coloured my image up with my Faber-Castell Polychromos Pencils, created a little bit of ground for him to stand on and the hint of a brick wall in behind him!

Our fabulous Krafty Team has some totally cool creations to share with you!
