Punch of Colour Girls 10

Hi everyone! 

It was my time to make something for the Crafts & Me blog.

 I've used this Crafts & Me image "Punch Of Colour Girls 10" by Hannah Lynn.

It's a digital stamp and you can find it HERE

She's just like a rock chick, look at her tattoos and the way she wairs her hair. I thought she would be beautiful with a red and black colourcombo and a subtile touch of blue.
I coloured her in with my Copic markers.

There's a challenge on the Copic Marker Europe Facebookgroup "50 shades of red" and I used this card for it!

Here are the Copic colours I've used:

skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, R20

hair: 100, N7, N5, N1

eyes: E37, E35, Y28

greens: YG99, YG95, YG91

reds: N7, R59, R37, R24

flower: N7, B29, B26, B23, B21

blue tattoos: B99, B95, B91

dotted clouds: E43, E41, E40

Hallo allemaal!

Jullie weten intussen waarschijnlijk al dat ik niet echt een fan ben van de winter.

Ik vind het koude weer gewoon niet prettig aanvoelen.

Sneeuw vind ik wel leuk om naar te kijken maar als ik erdoor moet, is het al zo leuk niet meer.

Je kan me dus geen plezier doen met een weekje skieën. Geef me maar een reisje naar Hawaï! ;-)

Voor de hitteliefhebbers onder ons heb ik deze zomerse kaart gemaakt. Lekker felle kleurtjes heb ik gebruikt, voel je de vakantiesfeer al? Voetjes in het zand, lekkere cocktail in de hand en genieten van de zon en de zee. Zalig!

Ik was laatst mijn hobby kast aan het herschikken en vond toen deze rubberen stempel van The Greeting Farm terug, jammer genoeg had ik hem nog nooit gebruikt. En ik wist meteen wat ik er mee wilde doen. Ik had namelijk nog dit papier liggen die er perfect bij past. Ik heb mijn velletjes papier uitgezocht en direct vergeleken op mijn kleurenkaart welke kleurencombinaties ik kon gebruiken.

Ik gaf haar het zwarte haar omdat dit kleur ook in het papier zit en een mooi contrast kon geven met de gelige achtergrond. Haar groene "gras"rok heb ik ook gekleurd zoals bij de haren. Dan ontstaat er een mooie structuur. Ik heb gestempeld met Memento Rich Cocoa, deze is minder hard van kleur tegenover de zwarte variant. 

Dan volgt nu nog de kleurencombinatie:

huid: E04, 11, 21, 00, 000, R02

haar: 100, N7, 5, 3, 1

roze: RV29, 25, 23, 21 BV23

groen: G28, 17, 14, 12

geel: Y28, 17, 15, 11

challenges:
The Greeting Farm: Anything goes

Dit was het dan voor mij vandaag! 

Aloha! ;-)

I've used an older paperpad by Prima Marketing "Madeline". I colourd the dog and his bone with my Copic Markers.

KKS peeks: Totally Paw-some!

Hi everyone!

We're back today with our final set of the new release of clear stamps! We've got another set of sweet furry friends from artist Becky Pearce!

It's called TOTALLY PAW-SOME! and has so many images and fun extra stampy elements to play with plus a bunch of sweet sentiments for a total of EIGHTEEN stamps including a fun thought bubble!!!

It's also Challenge Day and our hostess is JESSIE! The challenge is Anything Goes (as it always is during release week) so create a card, altered item, scrapbook page with any stamp BUT if you use a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp, you'll double your chances to WIN! We hope you can play along for your chance to WIN a $20 gift card to the krafty shop!

I made a shakercard with this awesome set. I love that there are so many little extra stamps to create something funny. I stamped the dog and coloured him with my E40's Copic Markers. After it was ready I thought I could add a bow, so it could be a girly dog. I've also used the bone and bow stamp on some paper, cut it out and added it in the shaker part together with some sequins.

The papers I've used are by Graphic 45 "Raining cats and dogs". Love the old fashion colours and patterns.
