So with all that said I combined both the stamp of the month and the challenge theme to create my first project, I didn't just stop at one for this challenge! Keep reading to see another project using an older stamp set for inspiration.

Bookmark recipe:

1. Take a bookmark die if you have one or a rectangle die will also work and cut from alcohol marker friendly card stock 

2. Stamp image in desired place on bookmark and also on some masking paper. I'm using Memo Tape

3. Fussy cut your mask and cover the image so you can ink blend round it 

4. Ink blend with Squeezed Lemondade, Carved Pumpkin and Crackling Campfire distress ink

5. Using the crackling campfire smudge a small piece on a media mat or piece of acetate and react with a small spritz of water. Use a small paintbrush to flick speckles for texture onto your background.

6. Remove your mask 

7. Colour your image in your favourite medium, I have used copics 

Colour combination: Flame Y17, Y15, YR04, Lantern glass B02, B01, Outer Lantern BG15, BG13, BG11, C7, C5 and C3

8. To add the sentiment I have used a MISTI, any stamping platform or block will work the same, as the sentiment is longer than my bookmark I have masked off part of the phrase with washi tape to partially stamp and then reversed and masked the other part of the sentiment to stamp the rest underneath.

For my 2nd project I am using the older up, up and away stamp set. Purple is one of my favourite colours and couldn't resit making this cute quick birthday tag for challenge inspiration also!

Gift tag recipe:

1. Die cut a tag from your favourite card stock for ink blending. I'm using bright white card stock from Heffy Doodle

2. Ink blend from the bottom up about halfway using shaded lilac

3. Ink blend from top to meet the shaded lilac in the middle with wilted violet

Tip: take your shaded lilac brush and blend over the line where the colours meet, repeat with the wilted violet brush to get a smooth blend between the 2 colours.

4. Use a darker purple, such as villainous potion around the edge to give a nice finish, repeat the tip above to blend out the colour lines nicely

5. Take a white acrylic paint - slightly watered down with a tad water or im using the copic opaque white to add some extra texture to my project, a little bit splattered on I think makes a real difference. 

6. Stamp desired images and colour in your favourite medium. I'm using copics

Colour combination: Elephant, C7, C5, C3, C2. Birds, BV


Thank you so much for stopping by today, I can't wait to share other projects with you throughout February for Kraftin Kimmie.

Until next time, happy crafting!

April Challenge - MyBesties

Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to have

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you
