Inspirational Wednesday with Scaredy Cats at Kraftin' Kimmie

Bonjour,

Pour ce mercredi, c'est moi qui vous inspire chez Kraftin' Kimmie!!!!!  J'ai choisi le set d'estampe Scaredy Cats, ils sont tous si mignons!!!

Hello,

For this inspirational Wednesday, I'm using the stamp set SCAREDY CATS. They are all so adorable!!!!!

J'ai colorié les images avec mes crayons Prismacolor et j'ai fait le ciel et le sol avec de l'aquarelle. Pour finir, j'ai ajouté des points en émail.

I first started by inking the images with Totally Taupe hybrid ink for a no line effect. I then coloured them with Prismacolor pencils. The trees are from the Spooky Silhouette stamp set and the balloons and sentiment from Party Time Sentiments stamp set. I like using images in different ways, so I can use them more!!!

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends: anything goes

Blog Hop with Fairy Village at Kraftin' Kimmie

Bonjour,

C'est aujourd'hui le blog hop et j'ai décidé de vous présenter une longue carte avec le set Fairy Village!
Today we are celebrating all the new May release goodies and they are available right now at Kraftin' Kimmie!!! 

All FOUR new clear stamp sets are available over at the Krafty Shop, along with our scrumptious new SUMMER SUNSHINE ink, TWO new Krafty Stencils and our new RAINBOW BRIGHT Krafty Dots!! Yaaaay!
So I decided to show you the SLIMLINE card I made with the stamp set FAIRY VILLAGE and Fairy Folk!!!!

J'ai fait une carte longue de 4" par 8". J'ai utilisé de l'aquarelle pour le fond. Le sentiment est du Set A Slothsome Day que j'ai estampé avec l'encre Wicked Black. J'ai fini avec un point en émail Rainy Day et du gribouillage autour du paneau.

I made a simple little card 3" x 3". I used watercolour for the background. The sentiment is from A Slothsome Day that I stamped with Wicked Black ink. I finished with a Rainy Day krafty dot and some doodle around the panel. 

J'ai colorié les petites fées, les champignons et le tronc d'arbre avec mes crayons Prismacolor. Pour un effet plus doux, j'ai estampé les images de fée avec de l'encre rose pale et le tronc avec du beige.

I coloured the whole scene with Prismacolor pencils. I used Pretty in Pink ink to stamp the fairies and Totally Taupe for the tree trunk for a no line colouring effect.

So let's have a fun hop around the Krafty Team's blogs and check everything out in action! Grab a nice hot (or cold) beverage, sit back and relax while you enjoy this kreative tour!

Hidee ho, good stampers and krafty friends!!!

For this challenge you can make anything you want to....except a card! So that means bookmarks, gifts, scrapbook pages, journal art, planner pages, tags, boxes...pretty much anything that includes a krafty stamp!! 

 

J'ai fait un faux livre pour le défi. Il y a un espace dans le milieu et on peut y cacher des surprises... comme du chocolat!!!!! La reliure est en imitation cuir et j'ai utilisé des papiers à motif que j'avais. Pour les "pages", j'ai marqué au 1/4" du papier que j'ai plié en accordéon. J'ai fait les quatre côtés et je les ai collés ensemble. J'ai teint le ruban avec l'encre Gorgeous Grape. Les papillons ont été faits des découpes et j'ai fait un fond en aquarelle pour l'arrière plan derrière les fées.

I made a fake book for the challenge. There's room inside and we can hide surprises... like chocolate!!!! The binding is in faux leather and I used patterned papers from my local craft store. For the "pages", I scored paper every 1/4" and folded like an accordion. I made four sides and glued them together. I dyed the ribbon with Gorgeous Grape ink. I made the butterflies with die cuts and the background for the fairies with watercolour.

J'ai colorié les petites fées de Fairy Folk avec mes crayons Prismacolor. J'ai mis du Stickles sur les ailes pour une touche magique!!!

I coloured the cute little fairies from Fairy Folk stamp set with Prismacolor pencils. I put some Stickles on their wings for a magical touch!!!
