Krafty Komeback!

Hello everyone! It's time for a Krafty Komeback! As you know lots of the ruber stamp sets at Kraftin' Kimmie have long retired and are not available for purchase anymore. Well we've decided to switch some things up and rerelease a few of our faves in clear! And today we're announcing a new one! 

At this time of year, things are often grey and gloomy. Lots of people need a little note of encouragement or a little note of friendship. So what sweet stamp set is perfect for those thinking of you notes?? It's SQUISHY HUGS!!

You might remember these sweet images of friends... both human and furry! And don't you love the wonderful sentiments that come as part of the set?

Here is my little card for today:

Stamp: Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Squishy Hugs
Colouring: Zig Clean Color Real Brush on Canson Montval
Chipboard: Make it Crafty Mini Hearts Tinklings

The Krafty Krew DT members listed below have created some makes to inspire you so be sure to hop around and check it out in action!

Love you!

Hello everyone! It's Delphine here today to share a card I made for Copic Marker Europe, using a new Make it Crafty image, perfect for Valentine's Day :)

The image I used is one of the new Sweet Valentine Girls images released this week at Make it Crafty. This one is called Meg's Heart Balloons :) I coloured my image first, using purple and pink tones to make a girly card. I coloured the skin first, then the hair to avoid dragging dark colour onto the skin. For her outfit I did the same, the pale "apron" first, then the purple dress. I finished by the balloons.

Skin: E000, 01, 11, 13, R20

Hair: 100, BV04, W7, 9 

Eyes: B00

Dress: C00, 1, 2, V000, 01, 09, 15, 17

Balloons: RV000, 00, 02, V12, 15, 17

Ground: C2

(sorry, I forgot the skin tones on the photo! - see list above)

I then added several Make it Crafty chipboard to my card - the word LOVE (in 1.75 inches size), 3 letters from the 5mm Alphabet Cap Set and a little heart from the Mini Hearts Chipboard Tinklings. I coloured them with my black Copic marker and the pink is acrylic paint. 

And to finish off my card, I used some pink heart DP by Toga to match the theme of my card.

Thank you very much for your visit, have a great day! Hugs,
