So hello all from Kenya, Africa! My husband and I are here for some time before heading back to Alaska then lots more travel with one girl graduating college, another shifting home for the summer with help, and hubby back to work in the far north! I am teaching a lot of kids art classes this month and I am coloring the new stamps with the supplies I have on hand. Here is part 1

Here is a look.I am using a simple set of scholastic watercolors on watercolor paper. The color is pretty flat but I will add more dimension after art class today! Hop back by Sunday to see how they finish up! I have a second photo but it refusing to upload today, I will try on Instagram and Facebook!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!!

They have changed the formatting on my blog again and I am struggling to get everything lined up. SOOOO if things look wonky I apologize! I am thrilled to be continuing working with Kim to create new stamp sets for 2024. Here is the first set So Puny 2. I will be sharing 4 of the images from this set over the next few days. Here is the first a little Mac and cheese please!

Here are the Copic colors used and I used the Precious Pink ink to create the no-line coloring look. You can still see some of the pink lines since the yellows are so light, but I am OK with that! Here is a close up of the coloring:

And here is a simple layered card to finish it off!

Thank you so much for coming by today! I am trying to get my traveling figured out this year so I can do more videos and possibly online teaching. I will be posting more punny cards tomorrow and on Instagram Wednesday as well.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

I have two cards to share today. One with my new Autumn Pumpkins and one with my Poinsettia set! Copic coloring all around of course, let’s take a look at the poinsettia card first.

the only Copic missing in the photo is B41 with is the color I used in the background.
gray cloudy days have stuck around here for a couple months so I am struggling a bit with photo contrast. This is a little blown out. Just an FYI

The card has some simple layers of cardstock, patterned paper and vellum, easy peasy.

Next let’s take a peek at another pumpkin card.

Notice that I colored all the pumpkins, vines and leaves with the Neutral grays first then added only one yellow red and one yellow green to finish them. It gives the coloring a vintage feel.

The card is layers of patterned paper again. Simple and sweet, quick and easy is my mantra these days!

Hope you are picking a few things from this month’s new release with 4 stamp sets, ink, stencils and add ons there are lots of fun things to choose from! Thanks for hopping by my creative space!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!~

Today I get to share another set of stamps that I created for Kim. Perfect Poinsettias is my second set this month. The intent was to give you lots of pieces you can layer and mix and match with. I did not get very creative on my cards but I am OH SO IMPRESSED with some of the creations from the team!! I did some Copic coloring with bright bold colors this time.

in the next shot you will see the finished coloring with the background. The Copics I used for that are B39, B29, B26, B16, B00 and the Colorless Blender. There are all sorts of blue combos that will get you a similar look. Let me know if I can help you pick from what you own.

And the card is my standard simple layers of cardstock and patterned paper. I will say this month has been tricker as I discovered I packed some of my crafting supplies into storage that would have been better to have out this month and the next few!

I always love how that bold blue pops right off the card! Thanks as always for your support and stopping by to look at my art.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
