Dreaming of the Sea - Glimps DT

Hello everyone! With the extreme temperatures we are having at the moment, who is not dreaming of WATER ?!? Hence my post today, featuring the ocean and one of the super cute mermaids available from the Glimps store, called Sitting Mermaid. 

I printed my sirene, did some fussy cutting and coloured her in Copics.

Bonjour à tous! Un peu d'eau et de fraîcheur aujourd'hui avec une adorable sirène de la boutique Glimps - Sitting Mermaid. Je l'ai imrpimée et découpée, puis mise en couleur au Copic.

Skin/ Peau: E21, 50, 51, 71

Hair/ Cheveux: BV08, V04, 06, 17

Body/ Ecailles: B04, 06, 26, 29, 69

Rock/ Rocher: W5, 7, 9

I decided to create a background for my sirene on a grey board. I used Fresco acrylic paints, applied with a sponge, for my sky and sea.

J'ai créé un fond sur un carton avec des peintures acryliques Fresco, appliquées à l'éponge, pour faire le ciel et la mer.

To add more interest to the background, I drew some land, palm trees and birds using Pitt pens. I also added touches of white to the sea with a Gelly Roll pen.

Pour agrémenter un peu le fond, j'ai dessiné des palmiers et des oiseaux au feutre Pitt. J'ai aussi ajouté quleques touches de blanc à la mer avec un stylo gel Gelly Roll.

I then glued my sirene to my sirene to the background - and here is the little scene:

J'ai ensuite collé ma sirène sur mon fond - voici la petite scène finale:

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

Merci de votre visite et bonne journée! Bises,

Glimps DT: Mixed Media Canvas Board

Hello everyone! I'm going Mixed Media today with my Glimps DT make, since I really wanted to use the Painter digi and it called for a bit of painting ;)

Using pink and white Pebeo Acrylic paint, I covered my 10x10cm canvas board.

I then painted a red heart in the middle of my canvas. Using a sponge, I added red paint on the edges of my canvas, and once the red was dry, I did the same with black acrylic paint. 

I added gold hearts with my Kraftin' Kimmie Happy Hearts Stencil and a gold gel pen. I then put some black outlines in Posca pen. I also put a bit of gold on the edges of the canvas. 

I coloured the Painter image in Copics:

Skin: E000, 00, 11, R12, Y71

Eyes: B00, 02, 63

Hair: E25, 59, YR24

Red: R35, 37, 39

Black: T5, 7, 9

Brush: E31, 35, 37, 74, 77, 79, Y11, 26, 28

I then glued my image to the board with tape, and voilà :)!

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

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,

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!
