I love this set and the solid images are so fun to play with!

First I blended the background using Mermaid Melody and Purple Pansy, I then stamped all the images and sentiment using Wicked Black! Look at how crisp these images stamped, I love these inks!

I coloured up the images with my copic markers, then created a splashy background with my Distress Oxide inks. Having them stand on the new Friend strip die completed this card!

Hey everyone! Today I have the pleasure of working with Stamp Anniething, along with my Cards and Colour Facebook group for her latest theme special release!!

The theme for this release is under the sea, and lots and lots of mermaids!! I am so in love with this special release, the stamps are awesome, the dies are the bomb and the little die cuts are so fab!

Stamp Anniething - What's Kraken - Jessie Banks.jpg

I decided to use the only non mermaid stamp in this release called The Kraken! She is adorable! I also used two of the new die sets to create the land and the waves behind her. I also used the Land Of Oz Dies, cutting the clouds out of some cardstock and using it as a stencil to create the sky background.

Make sure you check out the hop and see what all these amazing crafters created to share!

Rain or Shine

Posted in CLean and simple, Copic, Distress Oxide, My Favorite Things, Uncategorized, You Tube, Youtube by

Hey everyone! Today I have a fun card to share with you all featuring some copic colouring and Distress Oxide watercolouring!

I love how this card came out! The distress oxides in the background leave it a nice soft really washy feel to the colours laid out on the paper, as opposed to the real vibrant look I get with my traditional watercolours. I really like it, so expect to be seeing more of that in the future!

I love this image so much! I need to do the little boy out of the other set MFT released at the same time and the other little girl out of this set.

Getting your mojo back!

Hey all, you know how sometimes life gets crazy busy, and just have no time and the mojo takes a holiday… Well that is what I have been dealing with, it is not very often I don’t make something for a couple of weeks, but that is what I have been dealing with lately.

One of my favorite things to do is paint up some florals for a card, and being on the Power Poppy team allows me to do that, which is great when I need to force myself back into creating.

So I printed off the Everything’s Rosy digital image and turned on the camera and took an hour or so to myself and just painted it.

By the end I found myself again, it was fun and I loved getting back into the swing of things, sometimes you just need to push yourself to make something.. anything!

Hey everyone! It is time for a new challenge over at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps! I am the hostess this week and the theme is Anything Goes!

Kraftin Kimmie Stamps - Ewe are Amazing - Jessie Banks.jpg

I pulled out a stamp set I bought way back when it was released, long before I was on the design team, and finally used it! I love the Ewe are Amazing stamp set. I coloured up the sheep with my copic markers. The background was created with my watercolours then I stamped the sentiment so it looks like the sheep is jumping over it.
