CC Designs - Viking Henry - Jessie Banks.jpg

I love this image!! He was so fun to colour up, I even filmed him for you all! Shocker, I know it has been a long time since I have done a video, but fall is here and my son is back in school which means normal is back and I should have time to film!

I also have a fun little gift for you all. Here is the digital sentiment I created to go along with this image. Feel free to use it!

Jungle Gym

Hey everyone! I know I have been missing lately, it is summer (the couple months of it we get in my neck of the woods), so we have been camping and spending lots of time at the beach. But, today I have a new card for you all!! I used MFT Card Challenge Sketch #334, and created my card using the Jungle Gym stamp from the July release!

Tiger Lily XL

Hey everyone,today I have a card and video for Power Poppy Stamps, hopefully to kick your mojo into high gear and remind you that no flowers have to follow traditional colours!

I have coloured the Sunflower Power Digital stamp, every colour under the sun! And this Tiger Lily XL is quickly becoming the same thing. I love that about florals, just because something “should be orange or pink… doesn’t mean I can not colour it teal!!

Seriously I love this flower, the size is amazing! And if you have seen any of my work with the digital stamps here at Power Poppy, I tend to blow them up and crop this, and this stamp gives me that same effect just in clear form! P.S. keep your eyes peeled for a new release, I have it on pretty good authority that another XL stamp is going to have to come live with me!

Oh yeah, of course I have a process video of colouring this lovely image up!

I really love this fun summerycolour pallet they gave us to work with. I broke out my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens and set to work with the Prehistoric stamp set.

I am so over the moon with this set! I need to use it again with my copics. My son thinks its awesome that I can make him Dinosaur cards! I kept everything really simple following the colour pallet provided. I even recorded a video of making this card for you all!

Inspire Me Monday – Washy Watercolour

PP_Blog_InspireMeMonday_Badge_JessieBanks.png

Hey everyone! I am here today, hopefully to help inspire your creative week, using an awesome floral image from Power Poppy!

I am all about floral cards, in ever medium ever!! Today I have a video with some super soft watercolour on the Bubbles and Fizz digital stamp!

PP Bubble and FIzz

I really love this image, I chose to print the lightened version of the stamp and use some light washy watercolours. I really love the way this card came out. In my usual style I blew up the image to fit the front of a card and added the sentiment that comes along with it!
I hope you enjoy my video!

I have always loved how washy watercolours work so well with florals, you don’t have to worry about picking every little detail to come out with a super lovely card front!
