You are Fabulous and Gorjuss

Hi it's Kim, here's a little card I made today,

I have been eager to colour this cutie Gorjuss - Ruby - Rubber Stamp and had such fun! I masked her to very lightly spray the sky. The colours are inspired from these gorgeous My Mind's Eye - 6x6 Paper Pad - Stella & Rose - Mabel papers.

I have fussy cut a couple of the flowers from the patterned papers and finished with a sentiment from the gorgeous Stempelglede - Just A Note in the top corner!

Also I got out my WRMK - Sew-Easy Stitch Piercer Tool, used WRMK - Sew-Easy Floss - Yellow, with Sew-Easy Stitch Piercer Head - Zig Zag on the Sew-Easy Piercing Mat.

and this is the selection of copics I've used... Spilling over my pale.

Also there is still time....

Good Times!!!

Hello Kim here, I created a fun shaped little project today,

I fancied created a shaped easel card, I've used one of those sassy Kenny K images.

Whimsy Stamps - Kenny K - Movie Star

then paired her with some Fancy Pants - 6x6 Pad - It's The Little Things

The Whimsy Ticket Sentiments Set is fantastic for all sorts of sentiments.

I've added a bit of spica glitter to give her movie star Hair!

These are the copic colours,

Thank you so much for stopping by hope it inspires, have a wonderfully creative time.

Stamping Art!

Hello it's Kim here, I know it's been a while since I posted on here so many things going on at home but I hope that my little project will make up for it :)

I started out with the intention of creating a card but sometimes the project just follows their own route and wants to be a little different! As you can see I'm still using the wonderful characters in the The Greeting Farm - Stamp Kit- Creeper Crew - Creepin' and I picked the fabulous Sasha for my picture. Sasha reminds me very much of Maoleidigh, I've coloured with copics and her dress is paper pieced.

Inspired to create a background with clouds and sky I used a masking technique by tearing paper cloud shapes and using repositional glue before airbrushing. I had the idea of creating a rainbow, just had to be done with those clouds ROTFL! I did however need to spray a generous amount of colourless blender to make the rainbow a little more transparent!

I obviously have a love of long wild grass I just go with it and the grass gradually grows as I colour and with wild flowers like dandelions... so fun to create. It doesn't show in my photos but I've added just a touch of spica glitter to the flower centres.

Now onto the fun part of my project, Here's a close up of the yummy new MAKE IT CRAFTY LASERCUT CHIPBOARD. I've used swirly corners for three of the corners and the butterflies are from the fine swirls set. I've glued all the laser cut pieces in place before giving the frame a weathered crackle effect. Then a little distress stain was lightly added to age it.

The mount is patterned paper from the gorgeous GRAPHIC 45 ONCE UPON A SPRINGTIME

I added a grunge edge to the cutout of the mount using distress ink and stamping stempleglede grunge collection directly onto the patterned paper.

I used that many colours to complete my picture I needed two pots to picture the copics I used LOL!

 Hope you get a chance to check out all the new yummy stash...

Copic Colouring Video - Hair #1

Firstly, a big thank you to all of you who left such lovely comments on my first Copic colouring video on Sunday! Hugely appreciated.

In future, I will try and add audio, but for now I have a couple more videos to share featuring the same image. These were all shot in December, so please bear with me on the audio! In the meantime, the Copic colours used are captioned at each stage, and the videos are available in HD so you can get a clear view of how I colour.

This second video shows how I coloured the hair on Mo Manning's "Kissy" for my Thanks Bunches card. As a little bonus, you can also see how I coloured the crown.

As you will see, this time I used my mid-tone first, rather than colouring from dark to light. My starting colour very much depends on the colours I'm using, and the effect I want to achieve - in this case I wanted a soft look, with some texture and depth.

The completed image:

You can find the Mo Manning Kissy rubber stamp from Stamping Bella here in the UK at Quixotic Paperie!


Cardstock used is Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Super Smooth.

If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask away in the comments section here and I will do my best to answer them! I hope you enjoy the video and find it useful – if you do, I’d love to hear from you.

Copic Colouring Video: Skintones #1

After lots of procrastination, I'd like to share my very first Copic colouring video with you all!

This first video will show you how I colour skintones.  Please note – I am not Copic certified, all colouring techniques have been self-taught through watching videos, checking out step by step tutorials and experimenting on my own. This video shows the way I colour – nothing more! I hope it will help some of you experimenting with your own style and techniques!

You will note that there is no sound! I shot this video before Christmas just after buying a new video camera, and I wasn’t quite feeling brave enough to add my ramblings to the mix. I have provided the Copic markers used at each step, and the video is available in HD so you can hopefully get a good look at my colouring style.

The completed image was used on this card – Thanks Bunches!

Great Things Will Happen!

Hello, it's Kim here...  hope you had a fun week so far! I wanted to stop by with a card I made using some fabulous goodies found in Quixotic Paperie shop.

I bought the stunning My Mind's Eye - 6x6 Paper Pad - Stella & Rose - Mabel because I loved the gorgeous patterns and the fabulous colours! But for a change I thought I would stamp the edges of the paper with Stempelglede - Grunge Collection.

  

When I saw this adorable set The Greeting Farm - Oliver & Amelia - Little Dreamer I just knew I wanted to create a starry scene. Oliver has been coloured using copics and the airbrush system. The sentiment and Star is from the same set too.
