Desert Landscape – Kraftin’Kimmie June Release Peeks

       Welcome back to Day TWO of our June Krafty Peeks!

Are you excited about what you’ve seen so far!?  Are you ready for more?

I hope your answer was yes because we’ve got more fabulous fun for you today!

 

The stamp set we are ‘peeking’ for you today is from 
artist Michelle Houghton
 and it’s called…..

DESERT LANDSCAPE!

If you loved the beautiful Majestic Mountains scenery, then you will definitely love our newest landscape scene!! You can colour this up as the focal image – or use it as a background for your favourite characters! It looks amazing inside our fabulous You’ve Been Framed stamps as well!

Thanks so much for stopping by my little crafty blog today. We are mostly unpacked in our new home. We have celebrated (and continue) my youngest’s graduation from high school. And I have two more trips to make in quick succession before mid June so if you think I have been a little quiet, life has continued to flood this house and I am working on getting my head above water or at least trying to rebalance and figure out the new norm. I did some Copic coloring on Kraft paper this month. I actually like coloring on Kraft it has it’s challenges but when you get the hang of it it is fast and loose. Super fun for a change! Here are the Copics I used:

Because of the ink bleeding much further you tend to use less ink and fewer colors on Kraft. Here is a closer look at the coloring,

This photo is a little washed out. It is hard not having ANY white to help edit off of, but it gives you a sense of where the colors are laying and how they blend or sit side by side. The photo with the completed card below gives a better idea of the finished color.

It has been fun designing stamps with Kim and working with her is always inspiring. I hope you find some inspiration in this month’s Krafty release as well!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

I added a buzzy bee to one of the cardsI created at the spring retreat. Here are the Copic colors I used, I added Y00, Y21, C7 and C5 for the bee:

A close up of the butterfly and the flower. Notice when I fussy cut SUPER small details I will sometimes leave small pieces of paper to help support smaller details. Sometimes I will match these to the paper that are sitting on. It is easy to do with Copics!

And the card with a bobble under the butterfly and the addition of the bee.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

I have a second look at the Majestic Mountain stamp that I am sharing today. I did a sunrise/sunset for my first share on Friday and today is a night scene. See what you think. Here are the Copic colors I used:

the Copic ciao marker that you see is a B24 😉

Here is a close up of the moon and some of the coloring:

And the completed card!

Believe it or not because of the limited color palette this image colored up extremely quickly and the card was just layering paper, but I LOVE how this one turned out. Thank you as always for stopping by. Hopefully I will get to recording more coloring videos for everyone in the next few months!

Have A Happy Colorful Day!
