Hey everyone! Today I have another fun card using Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps A Bit Smart Assy (this is a rubber set so once it is sold out it will no longer be available so you should get it now!) . I coloured her up using my copic markers and enhanced it with my Faber-Castell Polychromos Pencils. There is a video below of me colouring this image.

If you are a fan of Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps you have seen Becky Pearce, her colouring is simply amazes me, I have always wanted to be able to colour like her and lift bits and pieces of the way she colours. I figured well why not give it a shot… so here it is its not right, but it is not bad for a first attempt! If you have not seen her work you should really go check out her blog.

It’s Party Time

Hey everyone! Don’t you just love this image!! I do! It is called Summer Swingin’ from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps (links in the bottom of the blog post as usual). She was coloured with my Prisma Colour Pencils.

The papers I used are from the Dear Lizzy Serendipity 6×6 paper pad. I really am thrilled with the way this card came together. I find the white boarders behind all the patterns just let the papers pop and make all the different patters not to busy on top of eachother.

Hi Kraftin’ Kimmie Krop

Posted in Cards by

KKS HI 1

Hey everyone. I am back with another card from the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps online Krop. This was challenge #2, the card sketch was laid out for a square card but I do more of the A2 size so I make it work for me.

The Pretty Little Pixies stamp set has been a favorite of mine again lately (I have owned it for a long time.) I coloured the image with my Prisma Color Pencils.

So second part of the challenge was pink, so I added that into my colouring, as well as chose the Basic Grey Highline collection for my patterned paper. I added just a little detail using a notebook punch from one of the knock out sets from American Crafts.

The Hi sentiment is from the Gold Foil Project life kit, and enamel dots finish off the outside of the card. Inside of the card I stamped “Wishing you a day that sparkles!” from the same stamp set.

Happy Hip Kit challenge 1

Hey everyone, first things first, I am sorry that my whites are reading slightly blue (teal kitchen couldn’t find my grey card, and its snowing outside). Anyway, this weekend challenge on the Hip Kit Member Forum on facebook is a challenge based on Wilna Furstenberg, lots of white space with just a little colour. These types of layouts are a big challenge but I had a ton of fun doing it!

Happy Hip Kit Challenge 2

 

I dug into my stash for a bunch of shapes and pieces that I wanted to use and then painted them all white. The glitter word thickers were a little bit to bright for the layout I felt so I did brush over them all with a dry brush to dull it a bit with white paint.

Happy Hip Kit Challenge 3

 

The pink colour and the brown were added using my peerless watercolours, and then I added some white acrylic lightly over top as I thought the colour was just a bit to bright. I also layered just a little bit of the patterned paper from the Seridipity 6×6 pad under the photo and tissue paper and between the acetate sheet just for a hint of colour.

Hello everyone, over Christmas I was on a colouring kick. Probably because there was a ton of family at my house, so in the evening when everyone was relaxing watching tv and movies I was colouring. (That also means I do not have a list of the copics used.)

This lovely image has been in my stash or a long time without being used. I now regret not playing with her sooner! I kept this card very simple a little paper, some cardstock scraps and that’t all there is to it.
