I've decided to make a little painting using the adorable Cuddles the Puppy set. I used an MDF Paperbabe Stamps substrate for the base :)

Stamps: Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp Cuddles The Puppy
Substrate: Paperbabe Stamps MDF
Colouring: Acrylic markers, Acrylic Paint, Posca Pens, Polychromos

I stamped my character in Wicked Black Hybrid Ink directly on the MDF oval shape. I painted everything using acrylic markers and paint then added littles details such as the leaves, blades of grass, flowers in paint and Posca pens. I also added some shading in Polychromos.
I then painted the flourished frame in acrylics and added dots in Poscas, then used glue to put my 2 MDFs together.

We hope you can play along! Thank you very much for your visit, have a great day! Hugs,

Copic scene with Various Inks

Hello everyone! I'm back to share a card I made for the Copic Marker Europe blog. The Copic range is huge and has the most beautiful vivid colours, so I decided to make a happy colourful scene card using my Copic markers, of course, and my Various Inks! 

I started by creating a background for the base of my card...

I used RV02, Y11, YR04 and 0 to create it. Once I was satisfied with the result, I let everything dry and then die cut a piece I liked with a Lawn Fawn die.

Next I created a little grassy hill using Inks too. For this part, I used YG01, 13 and 67 - and nothing else at all, just my inks and no other alcohol solution. I then die cut a piece of green with the same Lawn Fawn die and with an MFT edge die.

I then stamped and fussy cut a cute character from the Cuddles the Puppy set by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and coloured it in Copics. 

Skin: E000, 00, 11 (plus a little Polychromo pencil)

Hair: E33, 49, 59

Dress: RV14, 17, 19

Dog: E41, 42, 43

I then stamped a sentiment in Versafine (had to go back on it a little with a Pitt pen - then I put all my elements together and added a few dots in Posca pens - nothing else to avoid hiding the background too much.

I really enjoyed experimenting with this kind of scene card and will definitely be making more ;)! Thank you very much for your visit, have a great day! Hugs,

As a final touch, a few dots in gel pen!

KKS Tutorial - Mixed Media Snowman

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing a little tutorial on how to make a Mixed Media winter scene. I chose to use a super cute snowman from the Kraftin' Kimmie SUPER COOL PALS set. I stamped it in Wicked Black Ink, did some fussy cutting and colored it in Copics.

Red: C7, R35, 37, 39

Green Scarf: YG95, 97, 99

Gold: Y11, 26

Carrot: Y35, YR04, 18

Black: C5, 7, 9

White: BG000, C0, 1, 3

Fox: E95, 97, 99, C0, 1, R20

Now to the background:) 

I used a square grey board and covered it in white and blue acrylic paint with a sponge.

Next, I decided to add some contrast to the sky, so I added a bit of Mermaid Melody Hybrid Ink with a sponge dauber on the edges of my sky. Using green Posca Pens, I created trees. 

I then put my snowman on my board with tape. I stamped a sentiment from the Super Cool Pals

set and added snow in the trees and falling from the sky with a Molotow acrylic paint marker.

And lastly, for a frosty look, I put some BoBunny Glitter Paste on the edges of my board and a little more white paint at the bottom of my characters. And voilà :)!

Thanks for stopping by, have a fab day everyone! Hugs,
