Krafty Komeback!

Hello everyone! It's time for a Krafty Komeback! How about a Halloween comeback, with one of my all times favourite stamps by Annie Rodrigue :)? As you know lots of the rubber stamp sets at Kraftin' Kimmie have long retired and are not available for purchase anymore and a few of our faves are being rereleased in CLEAR! And today we're announcing a new one!

So, as I was saying, Annie Rodrigue has revamped this fabulously spooky image and some of the sentiments have been changed too, so even if you have the original from years ago, you'll want the new WITCHYPOO!!!

Here is my make for today, another mixed media board:

Stamp: Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Witchypoo
Colouring: Copics on Make it Color Blending Card and Fresco Paint and Distress Paint on white board

I coloured Witchypoo in Copics and fussy cut it. I did a background on a white board using Fresco and Distress Paints, then stamped a few elements in black using stamps from my stash. Then I put my witch on foam squares for a bit of dimension - and because she is flying ;)!

The Krafty Krew DT members listed below have created some spooky creations to inspire you so be sure to hop around! Then hop over to the shop because WITCHYPOO is NOW AVAILABLE!

It's also Frugal Friday and we've got FOUR sets on sale 40% OFF! But only for the weekend and only while supplies last! So be sure to check them out!

Happy hoppin'! Hugs,

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge!

Hello everyone! Today is the start of a new challenge at Paperbabe Stamps and we have a sketch for you this week! We hope you can join us for a chance to win our Paperbabe Stamps gift!! 

And here is what I did with the sketch... my mind sometimes works in complicated ways ;)

Stamps: Paperbabe Stamps Female Face, Peony & Bud and Butterfly Pieridae

Templates: Paperbabe Stamps Head & Torso and Blunt Bangs Long Portrait (mini)

Colouring: Zig Clean Color Real Brush on Canson Montval

I took inspiration from the sketch for my watercoloured piece. The sunlight is the circle from the sketch and the vertical elements are the leaves pointing upwards and the butterfly. To create my lady, I used my Mixed Media Templates - Blunt Bangs Long Portrait (mini) and Head & Torso - and the Female Face stamp set. The leaves are from the Peony & Bud stamp set, and the butterfly from the Butterfly Pieridae stamp set. And for the watercolouring, I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush. 

We can't wait to see what you create with our sketch! Thank you very much for your visit, see you later! Hugs,

Here is my make for today using a mermaid from the Sea Jewels set, a RUBBER stamp set that has been rereleased:)

Stamps: Kraftin' Kimmie Sea Jewels
Colouring: Copics on Make it Colour Blending Card and Fresco Paint and Acrylic markers on Paper Artsy Board

Chipboard: Make it Crafty 5mm Alphabet Caps Chipboard
Other: Wink of Stella, Stickles

I stamped one of the mermaids from the Sea Jewels set and coloured her in Copics. I then did some fussy cutting. For the background, I used a Paper Artsy Board and used Fresco Paints on it.. I added details using Liquitex Acrylic Markers. The sentiment was done using MiC Alphabet Caps Chipboard, coloured with a Black Copics and covered in Stickles.

Copics used:
Skin: E000, 00, 04, 11, R20
Hair: E31, 34, 37, Y21
Pink: RV13, 14, 55, 66, T5

Mermaid Sparkles

Hello everyone! My Copic card today is about mermaid love! The image I chose is called Mermaid Sparkles by Make it Crafty. 

As always, I coloured the skin first, using E000, 00, 04, 11. I considered the light source was coming from the top left corner of my image.

For the fin, I used an aqua/purple combination - I just love these colours! The aqua colour was done using BG09, 11, 13, 45, 49 and a bit of C7 to add more depth. The purple is my all time favourite combo of V09, 15, 17.

Then I moved to the last part of the image, colouring the leaves in BG72, 75, 78 and a bit of C7 again, the star in Y11 and Y26, and the hair in 100 black, C7, 9 and BV04 for the highlights. I then fussy cut my mermaid. 

Because the mermaid is sitting, I wanted to add something for her to sit on, so I picked a Make it Crafty Scribble Circle Chipboard Frame. I wanted silver and gold for the frame to go well with the blue and used my BV20 Copic to colour it - a grey colour with a bit of violet as in the image. I then used Faber Castell Texture pens to colour the golden stars and the pearl circles. I also covered the whole frame in Star Dust Stickles to have a lot of sparkle - sorry, the photo doesn't show well.

I glued the frame to a piece of Bo Bunny DP, put my mermaid on foam squares to sit on the frame, added a Make it Crafty Heart Chipboard coloured in R37 and did a few "pearl" dots with my texture pen. Here is a close up on the image and summary of all the colours used:

Skin: E000, 00, 04, 11, R20

Hair: 100, BV04, C7, 9

Fin: BG09, 11, 13, 45, 49, C7, V09, 15, 17

Leaves and star: BG72, 75, 78, C7, Y11, 26
