BELIEVE IN YOUR ELF

It's Halloween! I believe this cute elf is totally out of his comfort zone! he is all in Halloween colors!

When I purchased those adorable papers from Pink Fresh Studio, Christmas in not so traditional colors, I thought they were awesome and offered many possibilities!

It was much fun imagining Chrismas in orange and green!

Elf was colored with copics on xpress blending card.

I used So Many Squares stencil with fainted Fresh Fields and Tempting Tangerine inks

in the background, and distessed the image borders, added some stickles! same for the little sentiment tags! the cute lights were from Dress it up buttons!

Now, head on out on today's krafty hop and check out this stamp set

Inspirational Wednesday - Perfect Peoney

Hello Krafty Friends!

It's INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY

 

I have created two cards, in very different style, with one stamp set.

PERFECT PEONY

I stamped this gorgeous flower with pigment ink (versamark) `

 on watercolor paper and embossed it with white powder

to created a stained glass effect, in a more discreet version than with black lines.

I am sharing two images, displayed and colored differently, 

as we always need spare cards, which designs offer many sentiment possibilities, 

reason why I allowed sufficient blank space to be suitable for different styles of appropriate sentiment 

when the time comes.

Both images were colored with the same watercolor receipe

( a mix of purple, pink, french ultramarine, and some paynes grey)

I used a mix of paynes grey and green for the leaves.

J'ai étampé cette jolie pivoine sur du papier aquarelle avec du versamark et je l'ai embossée avec de la poudre blanche, pour donner un effet vitrail, mais plus délicat qu'avec de la poudre noire.

Je la présente en deux versions différentes: une avec brillant et l'autre plus discrète, disposées différemment, et offrant la possibilité d'une gamme de sentiments.

J,aime bien avoir des cartes toutes prêtes, lorsque j'en ai besoin, `

et les fleurs se prêtent à tant d'occasions.

Les deux images sont mises en couleur à l'aquarelle, avec la même recette

(un mélange de violet, de rose, de bleu et de gris de payne.)

Pour les feuilles, même gris et un peu de vert.

I colored this one in more discreet tones of purple, and went very light in the background.

I also added a diecut corner. No glitter on this one, as I intend to keep it sober  for a sympathy card.

Celle ci se fait un peu plus discrète, sans brillant, et dans des tons plus doux.

j'ai ajouté un coin décoratif.

kks - Tips and Tutes - A magical scene

Hello Krafty Friends!

Krafty girl Danielle C here today, to share with you an idea on how to create a scene with

multiple overlapping  stamps without too much fuss!

I used Owl-Chemy stamp set

and you will need the following supplies:

A stamping platform

2 coloring paper (I used bristol velum) - identical size

mask paper ( I used Eclipse and Post it full stick notes)

Step 1. 

Stamp masks of each element you would like to include in your scene, 

make double for the elements you want to use twice. Fussy cut all elements.

Step 2.

Create your scene, by positioning your masks as you wish.

Number all elements, starting with the fist one to stamp, which means the ones that will stand in front of one another.
In my scene, you  will notice that element No. 1, is alone. 

Elements no. 2, 3, 4  will overlap. 

Therefore element 2 will be the first one to be stamped.

Same on the left of the picture, with elements 5 and 7, which are closer to you, 

thus the first ones to the stamped.
Your image will look somewhat like this.

Step 3
Image No. 1 is in front, and not touching anything, so I will stamp it first,
What I do is I position my paper withe the scene I creatred on the stamping platform,
put the corresponding stamp on top of the mask,
and close the lid to grip the stamp.
then, I will replace the cardstock with the one I will be stamping on,
positioning it exactly at the same place as cardstock with masks.
then I will repeat with image stamp No. 2.

This is what I get when images are stamped.

Step 3.

 I will proceed with image no. 3 with the same technique, 

and cover it with the mask, before I do image No. 4 and 5, on the left.

This what my sample image will look like when I position my stamps for images 4 and 5.

This is what I get, I will then cover my printed images with masks to proceed further.

Step 4

We will now stamp the main image, No. 6. and the no. 7 bottle

preparing the stamp with the same technique as above,  this is what we get.

Step 5

Now, let's get ready to stamp the last images, No. 8 - I have two images No. 8, one at the left (books)

and one at the right ( test tubes holder), they will be stamped together. you see here, the result.

Step 6

The final set of booksl No. 9, stamped over the first set, close to the pot.

The image after removing all the masks, ready to color!

Don't forget to save all your masks,
I stick them on my stamp set for futher use.

Thank you for letting me share a little stamping tip with you today!
Hope it will come handy and gives you inspiration to create scenes with this lovely set,
and others from our collection!

Stay safe and kraft a alot!

Happy Krafting.
