7 Kids Crafts: Love Potion

Hello Everyone!

Happy World Cardmaking Day!

There is a new release this month by Sweet November Stamps at 7 Kids Crafts store.

Wraith Willamina Set
Saoirse The Seer Set
Vampress Mircea Set

The potions are from the Saoirse The Seer Set  here's a little excerpt about it:
Saoirse the Seer may appear to be a wandering gypsy, traveling the countryside in her colorful wagon. But think twice before asking her for an innocent palm reading or a look at your tarot cards because Saoirse's skills are far beyond such trivial fancies. With a magic hand she deftly brews potions that can bend a person's will or alter them in unimaginable ways. And when she gazes into her crystal ball she can see things you may not be ready to know.

For my card I wanted to focus on the just the potions from the Saoirse The Seer Set. I used a window with a ledge from The Brownie Hole Accessories and the spider web is from Bundle Agatha, Ariadne and her Spiderweb to show that some of these potions have been untouched for a long time.

The stone background I just drew in myself as well as the background behind the glass window. I wanted the scene to be a day scene so  you can see the transparency of the glass bottles and potions. Oh yea, I also put the transparency around 40 percent so you can see through the potion bottles as well. I found the potion sentiment online and I liked it because it felt like some kind of twisted romance going on with the person that's "in love." I colored the entire image with Copic markers
and when I was done I used glossy accents to emphasize on the the glass potion bottles.






It had to take photos from at a slight angle because it was hard to see the pretty spiderweb that I went over with Sakura gellyroll Clearstar and 
also the gloss effect from the Glossy Accents on the potion bottles. 

I used all of these Copic markers
I know seems like a lot to most people.


Don't forget to join us at:

7 Kids Crafts - Have a Snappy Day!

Hello Everyone!

Happy Earth Day! :D

I had so much fun creating this card for 7KidsCrafts.com. If you don't know,  7KidsCrafts.com has a Vendor of the Month every month and it's usually always 20% discount. This month the Vendor of the Month sale is Picket Fence Studios & Select Carstock. I purchased this Beautiful Girls - Isabella from 7KidsCrafts.com a while back, and I believe it's not available at the moment but there are plenty of pretty stamps from Picket Fence Studios. Remember to use code: PAPERHOARDING for the 20% off discount. 

For my card I used Sweet November Background Builder, City Park - If you purchased Picket Fence Studios - Beautiful Girl, Kate you would get it free while supplies last but you can also purchase the digital background by itself. I purchased Beautiful Girl, Kate but while waited for my package to arrive I started to color the background. Then when planning my cards I noticed that Beautiful Girls - Isabella fit perfectly in the foreground and I decided to used the Sweet November Background Builder, City Park with Isabella instead. I think it came out alright.

sentiment: Kraftin' Kimmie - Oh Snap! (retired stamp set)

I love how it came out! Isabella is out on a beautiful day
sitting at the park admiring all of the beauty around and taking 
lots of photographs. Down below you will see some of my process.
First I colored the background, then I colored Isabella. 


I was trying to figure out where I wanted to place her and of course
photography is another hobby of mine so I framed her with the 
"Rule of Thirds" in mind. If you don't know what the Rule
of Thirds is, picture a tic-tac-toe or a hashtag, you 
want to set your focal image in of of the points where two lines meet.

I decided to stamp it straight on to the background because
she has wispy hairs flying around from the light refreshing breeze...
and those little whispy hairs are hard to fussy cut around. 
That's my trick on keeping little whispy hairs or other small details. heehee 

When all was glued down, I added a little bit of Ranger Ink - Inksentials, Glossy Accents
to her glasses and camera lens for added interest. But before I added the Glossy Accents
to her glasses I used a white Gelly Roll to give her eyelights. 
For the necklace and bracelets,  I also colored them in with a White Gelly Roll,
waited until dry and then added color with a Copic marker and finished
off with Glossy Accents to make them look like shiny beads or stones.

 I hope you liked my card and got a little inspired to 
work with stamps that have intricate details.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

7 Kids Crafts: When Life Brings You Troubles

Hello Everyone!

I hope you're having a day without troubles. I had fun creating this image with Distress Oxide and water. I created another card with a similar technique which I talk more about here: 7 Kids Crafts: My Heart Belongs To You. I'm really loving this cute little image from Picket Fence Studios this one is called Kylee Boo - S118. To color her Kylee Boo and the grass, and bubble I used Polychromos color pencils. After I colored the bubbles I added Glossy Accents on top to give them the round and wet appearance of soap bubbles. Even though the image seems very small and the lines are like loose sketches, when I started coloring I felt it was pretty easy to color especially with pencils. It was really easy to follow the artist's lines. I had partially worked on this image since February (Day:18) for #thedailymarker30day challenge.

Before I forget this month's
