Teeny Tiny flowers and lots of them! When I created the stamps for this set the flowers got super tiny in those larger bundles. You can tackle them so many ways. You of course can color each and every petal, but you can also create larger sweeping washes of color, emboss, color larger sections…The team has done an amazing job showcasing a range of creative possibilities! I used my Copic markers.

I used a light pink ink and then LOOSLY colored the flowers. I did not agonize over every petal. AND you can still see the pink lines I did not attempt to make the image a true no-line image.

I layered a few papers under my image and sentiment and called it good!

So you have seen all the goodies! Today they will all be available in the shop and tomorrow we will celebrate with the hop and shop. Thank you as always for stopping by today!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Day 3 and more farm yard friends!

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

 at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps!

 

Today we are ‘peeking’ a super sweet set 
from artist Neda Sadreddin
 and it’s called…..

FARM FRIENDS!

 
 

These adorably cute barnyard friends coordinate with yesterday’s awesome Our Farm set for a whole stable-full of cuteness!!

Check out FARM FRIENDS! in so many 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 beautiful projects in today’s hop!
See you tomorrow!

I could not choose between all the farm cuteness so a slim line cad was in order with all the Farm Friends gathered. I used my Copic markers on the animals and to create a VERY SIMPLE scene. It is a large group of numbers but mostly because of the variety of furry and feathered friends.

Here is a closer look at some of the coloring.

Because the scene is larger the card itself is very simple.

Don’t know about all of you, but I am ready for the weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by! Tomorrow we will have one more new set to share and of course all the products go live!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

I created this fun image using the rooster and his sense post. I added a full barn image by hand behind him with a light pencil sketch to put him right at home!

Colored him up with Copics:

And added him to a SIMPLE card front! The scene is big enough to not need much in the way of layering or additions.

I am playing with pandas from the “Pandamonium” set and looking at the Neutral and Toner gray Copic families. If you did not see my post from yesterday do a quick peek and check out the Cool and Warm grays as well. Here is a look at the direct comparison. These two are extremely close the Toner is SLIGHTLY warmer than the Neutrals.

NEUTRALS

TONER

And here are the cards side by side. Again the background colors are the same and the color difference you are looking for is in the black areas on the pandas.

Thank you so much for hopping by! hope you are enjoying your weekend and the new Kraftin’ Kimmie release!

I have several Panda cards to share with you! Two today and two tomorrow. I am using all the Copic gray families on the pandas! Two groups today and the other two groups tomorrow. First up the warm and cool grays. Here they are side by side. Warm grays are on the left and cool on the right.

Here are the cards and then each of them individually.

COOL

WARM

I used all of the same colors for the two backgrounds, so differences you see there are due to the color change on the pandas , but not the actual colors used on the backgrounds. Tomorrow will be the neutral and the toner gray families. AND on Wednesday I will have a short video about coloring the pandas. Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
