Krafty Release Celebration HOP!

Here is a close up of the Copic colors I used on my turtle tucked into his inner tube!

And here are the Copics that I used on the water. Putting him floating in the water was an afterthought. Normally I would keep the part under water quite a bit lighter from the get go!

And here he is all tucked into a card. Keeping it simple as always.

And a close up of him so you can see the water effect a little better. You can also see my mistakes 😉.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Also we have a SPECIAL PROMOTION going on for this weekend only and it’s called SHARE THE KRAFTY KINDNESS!

Doesn’t matter if it’s a big part or a small part, we are ll in this together! For every Perfect Peony stamp set you purchase this weekend I will be adding another set to your package for FREE! Perhaps you have a krafty friend who is out of work right now or maybe you know someone who is struggling with isolation. This set is a friendship set and I’d love for you to give it away to someone of your choosing to Share the Krafty Kindness! This promotion will run until Sunday night while supplies last.

Hello all thanks for stopping in today! I am playing with the new Fairy Village stamp set this month! I have been playing with some different mediums recently so believe it or not I am NOT coloring with Copic this month. I tried some colored pencil work this month!

Here is closer look at the art, don’t look too close though I need more practice at the Colored pencils 😉

I am in a bit of a unique situation this month. Some of you might have seen I am in the middle of a move from Iowa to Alaska. Over the next year I will call both states home for chunks of time. During the month of May I packed a home, and got 90% on a moving truck and on it’s way to Alaska, then packed the last 10% and moved it to an Iowa apartment. Then hopped in a loaded car with our dog and hit the road myself through Canada and up to our new house in Alaska where my hubby and two beautiful girls were already tucked in!

So why do I share this? Well…I had my art all ready with time to spare, but the moving truck had different plans. It broke down in Minneapolis and was 2 weeks behind. So when I went to find papers and card supplies this is what I found! Ha ha I knew it was there and sitting, the kitchen took priority.

So I apologize for no card, just some art! BUT I will be creating with this same set later this month and hopefully I will find a few fun papers to play with by then!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Now head on over to the Krafty Shop and have a look around!

Happy hoppin’ and happy shoppin’!

I am super excited to be sharing 4 cards today using the new A Slothsome Day stamp set from artist Melissa Baker-Nguyen! I created two of them and my beautiful, artistic daughter Lori created the other two!

I will start with the real super star, here are Lori’s cards. She used Copic Markers to color two of the images, then created a shaker card for one and a clean and simple layered cad for the second.

Then I created two cards as well 😁. I also colored my Sloths with Copics. I then created some fun background papers with ink drips and smooshes.

Here is a close up of the Copic coloring.

I also adored this mama and baby sloth pair and stole the shaker card idea from Lori to put my card together!

Extreme Close Up you two!

Thank you so much for stopping by today make sure to check out the rest of the hop (link below) and then hurry right over to Kraftin’ Kimmie to scoop up all your new favorites!

I’ll be coloring Live Saturday the 18th at 5pm EST doing a little focus on coloring hair with Copic! I will be using Kraftin Kimmie’s You Are Mer-Mazing.

Back to today’s inspiration! I decided to color today’s image in a no-line coloring style with my Copics.

I kept the background simple expanding the puddles under their feet and having the clouds clearing for blue skies above.

To finish the card I added some super bright and cheery patterned papers and a few bright and cheery acrylic dots. Did you know you can color acrylic dots with Copics? Opaque white and clear dots (or sparkly ones) can be colored to match your project perfectly!

Next Wednesday I have a video recorded to share with all the coloring. I will link it up directly to the Kraftin’ Kimmie Fan Club Facebook page so you can check there or go straight to the Copic In The Craft Room YouTube channel.
