Tag - Kraftin' Kimmie - Gaia

The sentiment on this Go Kreate Concentric Tag is Clear Dollar - Tag It.  The image is from Kraftin' Kimmie - Gaia and was coloured in with aqua pencil crayons and a blender pen.

Kraftin Kimmie - Gaia

I have had this stamp for quite a while and thought it would be perfect for a friend's birthday card.

I stamped the image onto Cryogen paper using black Momento ink.  The Copics used to colour it in are :
Skin - E000 / E0000
Hair - C3 / C5 /  C7 / C9
Globe - sea B00 / B000 and land E30 / E31
Dress - RV 91 / RV 93 / RV 95

The grape coloured background paper is from Creative Memories Storybox Pastel and is stamped with Hero Arts Happy Definition using Momemto Lulu Lavender ink.  The ovals were made with Sizzix Ovals and the blue trim on the side is an EK Success border punch called Dotted Scallop.  The sentiment is Flourishes - Taglines and is die cut with Spellbinders Ribbon Banners.

Kraftin' Kimmie - Stella Strawberry

I have had this stamp for a while now not knowing what medium to use for colouring in.  I chose Copics but felt I could have done a better job.  Blame it on a dreadful head cold and no voice.  Most frustrating !

The card and the image were die cut using a Go Kreate set, the sentiment comes with the Kraftin' Kimmie set and I used a Clear Dollar Design Label die to frame it.  The scallop design on the edges is from a Martha Stewart punch.  I used Antique Linen Distress ink to shade the white cardstock the image is stamped onto.

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE - ARIANA

When I ordered this stamp I had my youngest niece, Alana, in mind.  She loves mermaids and with her birthday being yesterday I thought it would be perfect.

This was my first Kraftin' Kimmie stamp and I am impressed with how easy it was to colour in.  I did use Copics as I wanted to get the shading in the hair right.  The seaweed, and bubbles are also part of the stamp set.  The fishes and sentiment are from Hero Arts Oceans of Joy with the fishes being completed ages ago - I found them in a container where I keep finished images.  The background  is painted using Perfect Pearls and a paint brush.  It was a bit fiddly and at one stage I thought I would have to scrap it but in the end it turned out alright.

On the white cardstock background I used a CB border embossing folder and on the middle blue section I sponged the blue paper with Distress ink to get it to the colour I wanted.
