Come on back tomorrow for some more krafty fun and goodness!

I had a great time coloring up this sweet Krafty Komeback image and I am anxious to get back to coloring more! Here is a peek at the Copics I used.

I happened to have just purchased this fun set of papers and decided they were a perfect fit for this girl and her bear.

And here is a close up of the coloring! Notice the cheat, I colored the area between her legs and in the openings of the hair bow to match the paper behind. That way I do not have to cut those tiny, interior areas out.

Thanks as always for stopping by. I will be sharing all the new goodies over the next several days, so stay tuned and make sure to keep watching all the Design Team’s creations and inspirations!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Color a Rainbow
		

				

		
Had such a fun time playing with this new image from Ann Corbiere Scott Designs. This one is named after Ann! “Ann Marie” Here is a peek at all the colors I used then I will share a little of the process.
First I used the full rainbow of colors on the paint pans. I used one color in each, let them dry then added a second layer with just scribbles to add a little texture, I finished them with a little Colorless Blender to push the texture a little more. 
I then used each of the colors to splatter ink over each of the pans. Do you remember how you flicked paint with a paint brush or tooth brush on a painting? I did the same thing, I flicked the brush end of my Copic against a folded piece of cardstock toward the art work. I also let the marker tip bump against the paper a few times. 
I then used the grays to color the brush handle and the crimped metal.  I also used the light grays to create the cast shadows around the watercolor pans and paint brush. The earth tones were used on the bristles.
I love a good play day with my markers and flicking ink all over certainly fit the bill! I built the “paint tray” up with stacked cardstock and put the whole thing on a slimline card base.
Thanks so much for stopping in to my little creative world. I am hoping everyone is staying healthy and happy and finding time to recharge these days!
Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Happy Monday to you. Bringing you some beauty to brighten the start of your day. Ann Corbiere-Scott continues to design stunning art that is just asking you to pull out your favorite mediums and get colorful. 
This particular image is a newer addition to her shop. This one is called Grandma Chickie. 
Copics were what jumped out of my bag for this one, but I am planning on widening my bag of tricks this year so keep watching for some color play time!
Not a lot to share today, just a smile! Thanks for stopping by!
Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Keeping it super simple today! I am playing with one of the new stencils, Cozy Check
I used the stencil and black ink on red cardstock to create the card front and embossed a sentiment from the Lumberjack and Jill onto the corner. Don’t look to closely at the embossing, he he! Definitely not my strongest suite. BUT I love how striking the red black and while are together!
