Saturday, November 03, 2012Hi everyone! I have just popped on quickly from a different computer to share my Kraftin Kimmie Challenge card with you :) We will have internet on Tuesday so hopefully everything is back to normal by then!
The challenge this week is Backgrounds. A while back I tried my hand at Barbara's underwater colouring technique and I thought I would give it another shot. I love the effect of this....I want to do a whole bunch as a mini series :)
The image is Nerissa and the background is Make it Crafty Coral Border. I used A LOT of copics lol!! Here they are:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R11
Hair: R22, R29, R46, R9
Tail: Green BG49, G17, G02, G00, G000 Yellow Y11, Y15, Y17, E33
Sand: E40, E41, E43, E47
Orange: YR000, YR02, YR07
Purple: V000, V01, V04, V09
Don't be scared by the challenge this week....there are a whole load of background stamps around to practice with! I know it is scary but trust me it is fun :) xx
