Hello my sweet blog friends. I whipped up something tonight and wanted to share it with you. I decided to try stamping in white and coloring with my Copics. I got the idea from Nicole's post during the release of this set at PTI. I love the way it looks on Kraft stamped in white. I felt it really needed the darker paper to make the image pop. I tried a lighter shade of purple paper first and it just didn't stand out very well for me.
What do you think?
I will definitely be doing more of the white on Kraft look. I have tons of ideas running through my head. There are a couple little details that I wasn't happy with, but this is my first time trying this. I can really do myself in sometimes worrying about the "little stuff".
Here is a closer look. I used BV00, BV02, G21, G22, Y21, Y23 for the Copic colors. I also used PTI Fresh Snow...the BEST white juicy ink I have ever used.
I found this great sketch challenge site called
Midnight Madness. There are actually two different sketches. One for the more embellished cardmaker and one for a more CAS look. I think that is a wonderful idea. Don't you?
Thanks so much for stopping by,
Heather

Oh this is SO wonderful! the copic coloring is wayy beyond anything I ever imagine to do :) You are multi-talented. And the dark purple does help the colors on the centerpiece to pop. And of course, anything with kraft is always beautiful! :) just like you are... thank you for sharing miss heather! <3
Heather....You have done it again my friend.. This is so wonderful.. I just love how well you work with copics.... genius.... Topped off with that stitching makes the perfect card... really adore your style....xoxo
Heather I love the stamping on the Kraft paper. It kind of has a translucent effect just like a stained glass window. I think I'm goimg to try this technique because I love how yours turned out!

Oh this is soooo soooo pretty! Beautiful job! I'm always intimidated to stamp and color on kraft and you nailed it!
You never run out of ideas do you? Creating comes from a deep well, I guess that is why it feels so good.
Hope all is well with you!
Heather, this just may be my favorite of your cards! I love the look you've created for the centerpiece. The white on kraft is fantastic and your coloring is so soft. It just looks lovely. Stunning card!
love the fresh snow on kraft and your coloring-wow-it beautiful, heather!
This is so GORGEOUS!
Hi Heather, love the new blog look and the lovely new style of your card. Love the Copics on kraft card. Just bought my first pack of craft cards. I think the colours work really well. Stunning card!
Beautiful card Heather! I remember seeing Nichole share this technique!
It's gorgeous! Love the idea, the image, and the sketch!
FAbulous! I had never seen white stamped on Kraft or copic coloring on kraft. I guess I would have assumed the kraft paper was to dark for the copics. And I love that you used the deep purple! Thanks for the inspiration. I may have to give this a try!
Heather, WELCOME to the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge, we're so glad you joined us this week! What a beautiful vintage card - love the purple an that fabulous lace! Thanks again for joining us and we hope you will come back and play again next week!
