Colored Pencils on Kraft

So there is a current tutorial on coloring with colored pencils on Kraft paper and I wanted to try again.  I did this a few years ago but honestly I just don't practice enough to be good at it.  I watched two different videos and gave it a try and the results are ok, not as nice as the gals in the videos!  I think one of the problems is I don't have a big collection of colors.  I have 36 Prismacolors but not three shades of each colors and it doesn't match right.  I only have one gray and it is too blue...well anyway we will see if I remedy that situation!  I do love the look on Kraft!  This card isn't done,  I don't have any Valentines Day stamp expressions to finish it yet.  Just felt like posting it!

UPDATE:  Here is the finished card, I so liked the image to be the focal point I didn't add too much.

Christmas Cards - Blue

Here are the blue cards.  I did make a few small changes in several of these cards but they are pretty close to the ones I case'd.  The bottom one I substituted with the Yeti - gaaaaa love them!  The layered snowflakes and dies and also yeti are all my favorite things.

Christmas Cards

Hello!  I am not even sure if anyone looks at my blog anymore.  I used to be really involved in the card making community and ended up moving 3 times in 5 years and I have not blogged much until a little lately.  I am taking quick simple pictures here of my cards.  I am pretty sure all of these are case's of cards or with a few adjustments according to my supplies.  I have a bunch of cards made with my favorite things layered snowflakes, these are the "pink" ones.  I  will show blue next time. There is also a card that is from stamp simply ribbon store and Sharon made it and this is a total case of her card - I take no creative credit for any of these, just enjoyed making them!  I will post the blue cards tomorrow.

Pink Yeti Christmas

Here are the Yeti's in pink.  I also took the picture of the pink one next to the blue one just to compare. I like them both!  I thought pink would be weird for Christmas but with this cute paper by My Minds Eye called Sugarplum is perfect!  Off to create more Christmas cards, I am enjoying it this year.  I didn't put constraints on it, I'm doing it in my spare time for fun.  I had family pictures made into cards this year and will send a few handmade ones to special friends and family :)

More Yeti Cuteness!

I am having so much fun with this My Favorite Things Beast Friends set!  It took a while to make this card and my friend who is not a card maker couldn't understand why this takes several hours.  Well here ya go, stamping, coloring, die cutting, more die cutting, more die cutting... but that's what I love.  The dies here are the card pop up box, the rectangles to go on the box, snow drifts, tree line, layered snowflakes and the yeti's.  I posted a couple pictures of my workspace as I got the various  parts prepared.  Hopefully she understands now - hard to explain otherwise!  I will be making more of this, already started on a pink one.  I am so pleased with how this turned out, too cute again!
