Feels good to be back from break creating with Kraftin’ Kimmie stamps and a bonus that two of the stamp sets this month were drawn by lil ol me! Today we are sharing Krafty Goodness that includes a set of Krafty supplies to color up and add to your projects. I decided to use my Copic markers of water color paper. Here are the colors I used:

I decided to place the image on one of my inky backgrounds created with my Copic Ink Refills and some gold foil. I like that the splatter of the ink works with the image so well.

The water color paper blends BEAUTIFULLY giving a very soft effect. So you might have heard that you should NEVER use Copics on watercolor paper. Let me dispel that myth! You can work on basically any surface, but there are consequences, or at least information you should be aware of when stepping away from the standard cardstock or Bristol. Watercolor paper is UBER absorbent. It holds a lot of moisture, that is its main function. So when using your Copics it uses a lot of ink! A LOT! So if you are concerned about drying out your markers a little more quickly this is not a technique you want to try. Otherwise play away and be ready with refills.

he puddle of ink below the paint brush is accomplished with tip to tip coloring. I picked up some ink with my Copic Colorless Blender marker and colored that onto the page. It gave it a watery, painterly look. (It also added a lot of the alcohol solution over my stamped sentiment and made it bleed a little, oh well) Thank you so much for peeking in! I will have a couple more shares over the next few days, hope you can stop back by!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

I don’t know if you find this, but when I create a slimline card the image takes up the majority of the card. I have very little space left for do-dads.

The holidays are upon us, the stores are decked out in red and green, trees and decorations abound! So it is perfect timing to share a few more holiday sentiments for last minute cards as well as fun tags and notes. I decided to combine todays new release with a few items from the add on kit. If you are a crafter this month’s kit is the bomb! Glitter, chipboard, die cut OH MY!

I kept it really clean and simple as usual. I created the background using my Copic Refill inks. I dripped ink on Yupo paper and then blew it with a straw. I did this multiple times with the following colors; B00, G00, B04, G05. While the ink was still tacky at the edges used a gold rub on foil to add the gold touches to the inky background.

I trimmed the inky background and ended up with four chunks to use on card fronts. I attached one to a card base, stamped one of the fun holiday sentiments and added some of the wonderful chipboard from the add on set.

Thanks as always for stopping by you will love the next two stamp sets this month. Make sure to check in over the next few days to see all the November inspiration.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
