ANNND we have arrived at release day! We are featuring one more new stamp set for the month Happy H-owl-idays!

Here is one of the owls all colored up with Copics. I chose to do this little guy in a no-line coloring stile. I stamped the image in light pink then colored right up to and over the lines with my Copics making them disappear. Here are the colors I used.

Here is a close up of the coloring.

I love a good Santa hat! I brought a few papers already precut and a couple coordinating embellishment sets and the cards you are seeing with this release are all from that and a wonky set of random scissors ha ha! Here is the full card.

Hello Krafty friends! I am playing along with Kimmie this month and today the adorable Gnomes are getting ready for the holidays! I stamped up some light untangling for my creative session. I colored her up with some Copics, her are the colors I used.

I colored her up then added my usual suspects of a few layers of paper and a couple embellishments.

I am actually sitting in Barrow Alaska currently and I am making do with VERY limited supplies so sorry if you notice a few wonky edges he he. For the foreseeable future I will be no place longer than about 5-6 weeks and shorter so bear with me as life looks a lot different. Thanks as always for stopping by and supporting me!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Wanted to share another card featuring the set. I started by sketching a bookcase around a few of the stamps with a pencil and small ruler.

I added ink since the stamp lines are black making sure that the ink is Copic compatible since I knew I was going to color with Copic.

Here are the Copics I used. I only used singular colors on the books. They are just small and I had a lot going so the coloring stayed simpler on this card.

And of course the finished card. The image was almost the full size of the card front so some simple layers to complete.

Hope you are finding a few Krafty treats that inspire creativity. Thanks for continually stoping by and inspiring me.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Playing with the new “Lost In A Book” stamp set and my Copics today. I used three stamps and on of the sentiments. to create the scene. I created a simple table top creating a wood texture on the lower 2/3 of the frame. Here are the Copics I pulled for the image.

I tried to keep the image coloring very simple with the small stamps and added more interest with the woodgrain. Here is a closer look.

And the completed layered card.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

I am having fun coloring up another Axolotl today. A little more no line coloring with my Copics. I wanted to keep this little guy one of the lighter combinations that you see on line, here is what I used.

The challenge with lighter colors is it is hard to make the outline disappear. You can still see my stamped image lines.

That is where a background can sometimes help you out! Watch how the last of my pink outline lines disappear. Here are the colors I used.

I used a stencil from Kraftin Kimmie to create a beautiful oval around my axolotl and sentiment with a pencil VERY LIGHTLY. Then I filled it in with my blues. Here is a look at the completed card!

Hope you have found some favorites and must haves this month! Thank you as always for taking the time to stop/hop by.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
