Did I ever have fun coloring beautiful Cordelia from Kraftin’ Kimmie for the Kraftin’ Kimmie challenge today. Today it’s a sketch, a fun one to boot. I hope you all have time to play.
I stamped Cordelia in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock and cut her out with the largest Classic Circle Nestabilities die and the Out of the Box Technique. The image was colored with Copic Markers (Skin: E0000, E00, E01, Hair: YR18, E07, E19, Shells: E00, E02, Snail Houses: G20, G21, Star: Y13, Y17, E31, Tail: Y13, Y15, Y17, E31, G20, G21, G24, Water: BG11, BG34, BG45) and adhered to a piece of Really Rust cardstock that had been cut with the largest of the Large scallop circle dies and colored with E19 to match the hair of Cordelia. The edges of the image circle were paper pierced.
White Opal Liquid Pearls were added to dress up the pearls in her hair. White Liquid Pearls was mixed with water and brushed on to the tail, shells and snail of the mermaid for a really cool shimmer.
A 1 7/8″ x 4 3/4″ piece of MME Fine and Dandy – True Blue paper was adhered to a 4 3/4″ square from the same paper pack. The top right corner of the strip was rolled, Melissa Frances white lace was adhered at the end of the strip and the layers were stitched to a 3/16″ bigger piece of Really Rust cardstock (again, colored with Copic Marker E19).
The card base is a 5 1/4″ x 10 1/2″ piece of Textured Kraft cardstock folded in half. The layers were adhered to the card base and the image was adhered over the layers with dimensionals. Recollection Pearl Brads were added as center to Prima Flowers and adhered next to the image with dimensionals.
The sentiment is from Kimmie’s Mermaid Sentiments. It was stamped on a 1/2″ wide strip of Neenah Solar White cardstock with Tuxedo Memento Ink. Color was added with Copic markers, a banner was formed and it was adhered with dimensionals and Scor-Tape. Two Pearl Pins were added to the lower flower. Snow Kaisercraft Pearls finish off the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs and smiles
