Hey everyone! It is Wednesday, and that means it’s time for another Wonder Wednesday, anything goes, challenge over at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps!

I chose to colour up Bootyliscious (unfortunately she is currently out of stock but will be back soon). I really tried to replace this card and use it one it was back. But I got bogged down with a Migraine which didn’t allow that to happen.

First I cut a mask of this stamp on masking paper, it took forever but its always so awesome once its done! Then I used distress inks to create the background, splashing a little water on it.  I coloured up the image with my copic makers, then taking my watercolours I added some more deeper shadows to the image. Once all of that one done and good and dry I took a black pen and added in the hardwood floor lines.

We want EVERYONE to be able to play along so your submission can use ANY stamp and can be any theme, any style, any design and it can be a card, a scrapbook page, an altered item….you name it!! It must be a NEW creation and you can enter on this post until November 28th at midnight! At the end of the month one random winner will be chosen from all the submissions for the whole month and will receive a $20 Gift Card to the shop!!! What do you think…..wanna WIN?? Let’s see your krafty stuff!!

Happy Hedgehogs

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

Hey everyone! Today I have a nice one layer card to share with you all! I used My Favorite Things- Happy Hedgehogs!

MFT Stamp - Hedgehog Hugs - Jessie Banks.jpg

I started by creating masks of all the stamps I wanted on my little scene here. Then stamping and masking them out. I then took a whole bunch of different Distress Inks and created the background. One the inking was done I splashed a bunch of water all over, larger dots of water on the top and smaller on the bottom.

After pulling up masks and colouring up all of the images with my copic markers. I pulled out Green Apatite Genuine, French Ultramarine, and Lunar Black watercolours to add some more interest in the background. Finishing off the card with my White gel pen.

Hey everyone, it is Saturday, and that means time for a new challenge over on the Kraftin Kimmie Stamps Blog.

This weeks challenge theme is Stencils, so pull out those stencils in your stash, and your image of choice and play along with us!

Kraftin Kimmie Stamps - Angie - Jessie Banks

I chose to colour up Angie, I swear she is me! I fussy cut her out of masking paper to create a mask, so that I could make a one layer card with her. If you have the ambition to cut a mask of an Annie stamp, just know I feel your pain. Once I had her masked I used a stencil to create the “wallpaper” behind her, as well as the carpet she is standing on.

Once that was done I coloured Angie up with my copic markers, I added some white gel pen and black coloured pencil to enhance her a little bit more!

We always enjoy your creations so be sure to submit them so you can have a chance to WIN a $20 gift card to the Shop!! Show us your stuff!! In keeping in line with the rest of our challenges (Wonderful Wednesday and our NEW Krafty Scrappy Challenge), we will be drawing one winner per month from all Saturday Challenge entries to win a $20 gift card!!

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!

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.

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.
