Blog Hop with Be a Mermaid at Kraftin' Kimmie

Bonjour,

C'est aujourd'hui le blog hop chez Kraftin' Kimmie et j'ai décidé de faire une carte avec onglet à tirer.

Today we are celebrating all the new June release goodies and they are available right now at Kraftin' Kimmie!!!

Along with our scrumptious new FRESH FIELDS ink, TWO new Krafty Stencils SHE SELLS SEASHELLS and PATTERN PARADE and our new SUMMER Krafty Dots!! Yaaaay!

So I decided to show you the pull tab card I made with Be a Mermaids stamp set!!!!!

J'ai fait une carte à onglet. Quand on tire dessus, on peut voir un sentiment avec une raie. J'ai utilisé des papiers à motif de Doodlebug. J'ai fini avec du Stickles sur les rebords et des points en émail.

I made a pull tab card. When you pull, you can see a sentiment and a stingray. The patterned papers are from Doodlebug and I added Stickles to the edges and Seashore krafty dots.

 

J'ai colorié les images avec mes crayons Prismacolor. Pour un effet plus doux, j'ai estampé les images avec de l'encre pêche pale.  J'ai fait les vagues avec un stencil et de l'encre.

I coloured the whole scene with Prismacolor pencils. I used Party Peach ink to stamp the images for a no line colouring effect. I made the wave with Wonderful Waves stencil and inks.
