Oceans of Love

Hey everyone! I have been on a bit of a Kraftin’ Kimmie kick here this week, and today I have been participating in the challenges from their online crop on their Facebook page yesterday. So I coloured up a few of the images from the Oceans of Love set with my copic markers.

Pink- RV29, RV25, RV23, RV21, RV10

I then make a shaker pocket and used my distress ink and masks to create the look of water in the background and filled it with seed beads. An embossed sentiment an a chevron piece of paper finished off the front of this card.

I used the Fancy Squares & Little Things Die set from Creative Basics, I took the smallest die of the fancy squares and traced the inside of it, like a stencil, around my image then cut it out with my scissors. I then cut a black mat using the same die. Some layers of pretty patterned paper, a black doily, some Sari Silk Ribbon and come flowers finish off this pretty halloween card.

KKS sketch Jan 2016

I used the Sketch to create my card, just changed it to square. looking back at it now I guess I should have had another patterned paper layer on top instead of just the image. I may have to tackle this sketch again this month.

Let’s Celebrate

KKS Lets Celebrate 1.jpg

Hey everyone! It’s getting ever so close to a brand new year! And this card could be used to celebrate just that occasion. I used Let’s Celebrate from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps. I stamped it out with Ranger Archival Ink on Fabriano Artistico 140lbs hot press watercolour paper. I painted this image with my watercolours (Daniel Smith, Golden Qor, and W&N Cotman).

Here is the speed painting video of me painting this image, there was roughly 3 1/2 hours of footage I used and sped up for this 15 minute video! I hope you like it!

This card was super fun to make and aside from the painting I kept it rather simple a few layers of patterned paper, flowers, ribbon and a few sequins.

A Bit Smart Assy Muffin

KKS SMART ASSY 1.jpg

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.

KKS SMART ASSY 2.jpg

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.
