  Today is our third day of Krafty Peeks for the May Release

 at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps!

Today we are ‘peeking’ another fabulous set 
from artist Sabrina van Vloten
 and it’s called…..

DEEP SEA PALACE!

 

This set features a fabulous palace focal image with an awesome friendship sentiment! It will also coordinate with those fabulous ocean sea creatures we saw yesterday in LIFE IS THE BUBBLES! How fun!! 

Check out DEEP SEA PALACE! in so many regal underwater creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team’s blogs!  You’ll also see the new stencils, Add-Ons and hybrid ink along the way!  Be sure to leave some love at each stop on the hop because there will be a giveaway for some krafty $$ to the shop! 

You’ll see more of our May goodies tomorrow, and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday afternoon at 2pm ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!  
 
 
For now, check out all the adorable goodness in today’s hop!

Here is my Deep Sea Palace! Let’s start with the Copics I used:

I colored up the palace first

Then used some light blue, green and blue greens to create a wash over the full image. Notice all the lines are vertical. I used the same technique over the sentiment on a separate strip of paper.

Then onto a card! And another close up with some sparkle.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Take a peek at the critters close up:

I used a little Glossy Accents to bubble up the jelly’s head and some Nuvo Drops to add sparkly bubbles to the card. Here is the finished card:

I thought I would share two cards I created with this month’s mini add on stamp! I did the cards almost identical just changed a standard black line ink to a little no-line coloring.

Here are the Copic colors that I used on both images.
I love both and it is striking how different the two images look just by getting rid of the black lines!
Here is a close up of the coloring on the squirrel with the standard black ink lines. He is pretty darn cute!
Here is a close up of the no-line coloring

Well what do you think? This is actually a pretty good image to try some no-line coloring on. Nice and open, just enough detail and not too much. Do one small section at a time so you don’t loose internal lines as you color. Hope you have some time to do a little coloring this week no matter the style you do it in! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
