Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - January Previews Day 2

Hi Friends! We are on day 2 of previews for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

This stamp set is near and dear to my heart as I recently lost two of my precious furry friends - One in October and one in December. I think loosing a pet is one of the most heart breaking things you can go through and I am so happy that there is now a stamp set that shares the sentiments of loosing a furry family member.

I started by stamping the image of the dog in Dessert Sand ink by Memento. It is a very light ink, perfect for the no-line colouring technique I used to colour this card. If you would like to try no-line colouring for yourself, I wrote an in depth post on how to do it here. It is so fun and once you get the hang of no-line, you will want to do it again and again. 

I used the following Copic markers to colour this image

Copics:

Dog - E59, E57, E55, E53

Collar - B16, B14, B12
Wings - W7, W5, W3, W1
I also added the blush for the checks with a coloured pencils to warm the image up a bit

I used various stencils to create the background with my distress inks. If you would like to see how I created the cloud background with Distress Ink, click here

lastly, I added some shimmery gold dots with a gold gel pen for an added touch.

Molly - Sunflower from Stamp AnnieThing

Hi Friends!

September is just around the corner which also means that Fall is as well...I have mixed feelings about this time of year as I love the Summer months so much. For my project I am sharing with you today, I decided to colour Molly - Sunflower from Stamp AnnieThing.

I had a lot of fun colouring her with my Copic Markers as well as masking and creating a background with my Distress Inks and Copics as well.

Hope you like my card creation today!

Until next time - Stephen

Card Sketch Challenge

Hi everyone! It's my day to post at Stamp AnnieThing and I have a fun card to share. I used the Julie-Ahoy Matey stamp set for my challenge card. The theme for this challenge is a card sketch.

I decided to create a scene card inspired from the card sketch and man did I have a lot of fun creating this one. I created the ships wheel and the railing on my Silhouette Cameo. I really enjoyed creating these original elements for my card using my Silhouette. I did some ink blending with my Distress Inks on some Tim Holtz woodgrain card stock to create this ships deck. I also ink blended the background to set me scene as if Julie is sailing at dusk.I coloured Julie image with my Copic Markers and popped her up with some foam tape.

I hope you enjoyed my card!

Until next time - Stephen
