Way too much fun coloring up the jelly with my Copic markers!

When I create a full colored block like this image the cad usually becomes pretty simple. One or two layers and complete.

Having to keep it simple this month and next with moving and resettling, but still wanted to share and give a big shout out for Kraftin’ Kimmie for the June release!

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!

Day 4 of the April Kraftin’ Kimmie Release Peeks!

  Today is our fourth day of Krafty Peeks for the April Release

 at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps!

Today we are sharing a fabulous set from 
artist 
Allison Cope and it’s called…..

SPRING SCENERY!!

Just imagine all the gorgeous ways you’ll be using this beautiful stamp set! These accessory stamps will compliment so many other sets and create beautiful spring garden scenes. The fence stamp is drawn in a way that makes it easy to extend in either direction, you have a fabulous bird bath and there are even tiny blossom stamps that stamp over the tree branch creating instant spring blooms!

Check out SPRING SCENERY in so many amazing creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team’s blogs!  You’ll also see the new stencils and hybrid ink along the way!  Be sure to leave some love at each stop on the hop because I’ll be giving away some krafty $$ to the shop! 

 

You’ll see more of our April 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 Spring goodness in today’s hop!

I have the first of two cards to share today using Allison’s beautiful spring scenery set. I decided to keep it simple and just use a couple of the flower groupings. I love the delicate tulips and tulips are so fun because they come in SO MANY color variations! Here is a peak at the Copics I used first:

The flower uses the RVs, Vs, R and the YGs. The earth tones, BG and Gs are for the background. Here is a closer look at the coloring:

Next Wednesday I attempt the daffodils and I have it all recorded. So you can see the the full process and my mistakes and reworks. But first here is the completed card for this pretty image. I used the glitter paper from this month’s add on kit and layered a few patterned papers and vellum for my clean and simple card.

Thank you for stopping by! Check out the rest of the inspiration through the link below! Remember to keep watching Kraftin’ Kimmie this weekend for the release and celebration.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Hey Hey! welcome back! I am playing with one of the images from the Forest Friends stamp set for this post. A few of you will have seen this card before at the spring retreat. Here is a close up of the little critters colored up with my Copics.

Here is a look at the background I created. I lightly sketched in pencil and then colored with my Copics.

Here is a look at the finished card. I am contemplating pulling the flowers off and finishing the lower right corner in a different way. Needs a couple buttons and maybe some twine 😉.

Thanks for stopping by as always! Make sure to check out the rest of the DT for all the lovely inspiration!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

See you tomorrow!
 

I decided to play with LOTS of the add on goodies for this card and believe it or not there are NO Copics! I did however photo the process:

I used reposition able tape to attach one of the smaller ovals from this months stencil set to my card front.
I ran my tape runner in diagonal stripes across the card and right over the oval. Then used green glitter from the add on set.
Here is the first layer. I left the tape inside the edges knowing I would trim down the card front.
I used my tape runner again and added more diagonal stripes in between the green. This time I added hello glitter.
Once you have dusted of the excess glitter gently peel the oval mask off the card front. (I used a little Goo Gone to get my stencil clean)
I finished the card by adding my sentiment stamp as well as glitter cardstock and ribbon from the add on kit this month!

Thanks for stopping by today! Lots more crafty goodies coming over the next several days. Check in with the other Design Team members and I will be back here with more tomorrow.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
