Wonderful Wednesday

Hello everyone! I'm hosting today's Wonderful Wednesday at Kraftin' Kimmie so it's ANYTHING GOES! Break out your Kraftin' Kimmie stamps and get krafty!

We want everyone to be able to play along so your submission can use ANY stamp and can be any theme, any style but it must be a NEW creation! At the end of the month, one random winner will be chosen from all the submissions for the whole month and will receive a $20 Gift Card to the shop!

In addition to the great Krafty Challenges and Wonderful Wednesdays, each month we will post a sketch. The sketch will last all month long and if you use it in ANY of our Challenges or WWs during that month, you will get an additional chance to win a store gift card! You do NOT have to use the sketch, it's just a little extra boost for your mojo if you need it!

Here is my card for today :)

Stamps: Kraftin' Kimmie Let Them Eat Cupcakes
Colouring: Copics on Make it Colour Blending Card

Die: MFT
DPs: Doodlebug

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

Copic and MiC Chipboard!

Hello everyone! I'm sharing the card I made for Copic Marker Europe, with a Gorjuss stamp and chipboard in Copics - because you can colour chipboard with them and add a very "matching" touch to your card. The stamp I used is called Heartfelt.

Since I knew I wanted to use an oval frame chipboard, I started by colouring the background making it oval, using YG05, 03, 01, 00. I then coloured my Gorjuss skin in E04, 11, 00, 000.

For the dress, I wanted colour to pop as for my background and went for red, using a little bit of T5, then R39, 37, 35. I also coloured the heart in RV66, 55, 02 and made the underskirt black.

Next I did the hair with my favourite black combo - 100, then C9, C7 and BV04 for highlights. 

The frame I picked is a Make it Crafty Chipboard frame called Delicate Love Oval Frame. What I really like about those frames is the colour of the chipboard - a cream colour on which you can use and blend Copics.

I coloured the hearts first with the same reds I used for my image, then coloured the black with my 100 Copic and added tiny touches of gold with a paint pen. 

I die cut my image with an MFT oval die, added glue on the back of my frame to frame my image. I put my framed image on foam for a bit of dimension and that was it. 

Skin: E000, 00, 04, 11

Hair: 100, BV04, C7, 9

Red: R35, 37, 39 (+T5)

Pink: RV02, 55, 66

Background: YG00, 01, 03, 05

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

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #50

Hello everyone! Today is the start of a new challenge at Paperbabe Stamps and it's an easy one - Anything Goes!! We hope you will join us and try to win a gift voucher to the store! 

For this challenge, I took out my acrylic paints... which I probably have not touched for about 10 months... I had to do a bit of cleaning to remove the dust ;)!! Here is what I did: 

Stamps: Paperbabe Stamps Mini Female Face Stamp Set

Substrate: Paperbabe Stamps MDF Mixed Media Blanks Hanging Circles Set

Templates: Paperbabe Stamps Mini Head and Torso and Blunt Bangs Long 

Stencil: Paperbabe Polka Dots Stencil

Colouring: Acrylic paint, Polychromos, Posca on MDF

I used the big MDF circle from the Mixed Media Blanks Hanging Circles Set to create my portrait. I started to draw the shapes in pencil, using the Mini Head and Torso Templates, and the Blunt Bangs Long Template for the hair. I coloured the skin in acrylic paint then stamped the face features using the Mini Female Face Stamp Set. I painted everything in acrylics then added pencil (Polychromos). For the background, white ink on my Polka Dots Stencil :)

That was fun to create and really did me good :)! I hope you can have some fun too and will share your makes with us! Thank you very much for your visit, have a fab day! Hugs,
