Hi everyone!

 I just want to share this card I made. I made it for a friend who’s getting hopefully her last chemotherapy against her breastcancer. I want to let her know that I still think of her and encourage her. She was so strong and did it so well.

I coloured this sweet and beautiful image using my Copic markers but I’ve added some details with pencils too. Here are the Copic markers I’ve used:

• skin: E04, E13, E11, E00, E000
• hair: Y21, E59, E37, E35, YR23
• red: R59, R46, R24, R22
• green: G28, YG17, YG13, Yg11
• orange: Y35, Y38, YR04, YR07
• background: E41, E40
• blue: B39, B36, B34, B32

I also added a sentiment stamp in the banner.

Furry Angels

Hi everyone!

Welcome to Day TWO of our January Krafty Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We all have lost furry friends over the years and know friends and family who have also been through such a devastating ordeal. It's hard to know what to do in these situations but I think sending a sweet handmade creation with warm thoughts and hugs is so helpful.

And so we have the new FURRY ANGELS stamp set!

And here's the card I've created using the new stampset. I sponged some clouds using a die from Lawn Fawn and some Distress Ink. The sentiment is embossed with white Wow! embossingpowder on black cardstock. Some sequins completes the card.

I've coloured this beautiful dog with my Copic markers.

Here are the colours I've used:

fur: E29, E25, E23, E21

wings: C3, C1, C0

blue collar: B18, B05, B02, B00

You will see these adorable images in action as you hop around the Krafty blogs!

Classy Olivia

Hi everyone!

I wish you a very happy New Year, may all your dreams come true! I just want to show you the card I’ve created for the new skin challenge. I know it’s hard sometimes but I have 1 big tip for you all: clean your markers before you start to colour! It depends from your colourcombination, but my E11, E04 or E13 are starting to be tacky really fast.  Rub on your nibs with some alcohol and make sure your marker contains enough ink.

For this card I’ve used  the gorgeous new Classy Olivia Digi Stamp. She was awesome to colour! She’s one of the new teen stamps, so I decided to use some trendy haircolours: a greyish brown and a purple ombre and purple lips.

Here are all the Copic colours I’ve used to colour her up:

• skin: E04, E13, E11, E00, E000
• hair: E79, E77, E74, E71, V28, V25, V22, V20
• dress: BG78, BG18, BG13, BG11, BG10
• purple: V09, V17, V15, V12
• eyes: YG67, YG63, YG61, YG11

Make it Crafty products used:

stamp: Classy Olivia Digi Stamp

chipboard: Hello Brush Script Word Chipboard

Thanks for stopping by, Deborah

Let your dreams take flight

Hi everyone!

I just want to wish you a very happy New Year!

Today we're kicking off the Krafty year with a new challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. The theme of this week is "Sentiment", so you just create a card using a sentiment.

I sponged paper with Distress Ink, splattered some water on it and stamped with some small daubers white ink on it.

When it was dry I stamped the sentiment and the butterflies from the stampset "Butterfly Dreams" by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. I've glued it to a black cardbase, added some sequins and the card was finished.

Hope you'll find some time to play along!

Deborah

Fairy Gift

Hi everyone!

MiC gal Deborah here today with my last Christmascard of this year.  I really love this cute Fairy Gift Digi Stamp. I couldn’t wait almost another year to colour up this cutie. I sponged the background using my Distress ink and I coloured the chipboard with my Y21 Copic marker to give it a bit of contrast against the green.

Here are the Copic colours I’ve used:

• skin: E04, E13, E11, E00
• hair: B21, 100, BV29, BV25
• red: E29, E08, R46, R24, R22
• green: YG17, YG13, YG11, G28
• white: C3, C1, C0

Make it Crafty products used:

• stamp: Fairy Gift Digi Stamp
• frame: Winter Snowflake Oval Frame

Thank you for stopping by, Deborah
