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

 at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps!

 

 

Today we are ‘peeking’ a beautiful scenery set 

BAREFOOT BEACH!

 

 

Check out BAREFOOT BEACH! in so many creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team’s blogs! You’ll also see the new stencils along the way!

 

 

Thank you as always for stopping by! I have a simple card to share today using the Barefoot Beach image. I am using my Copics, but this time on watercolor paper. For those who have not tried it watercolor paper blends incredibly easy! The softness of the paper lets even harder blends turn smooth with ease. The biggest draw back is the absorbency of the paper. Watercolor paper is made to soak up moisture and it will soak up your ink as well. You will find you will use more than you normally would on a small image. I believe the effects are still worth it. Here are the colors I used:

A close up look at the Copic on watercolor paper.

A couple pieces of patterned paper and a card.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

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!
