Tea Time Fun | Colorado Craft Company

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings2 Comments

HEY FRIENDS! Just a quick post to show you some early Saturday morning coloring! Here I’m featuring the Anita Jeram Tea Time Fun stamp set by Colorado Craft Company. I didn’t sleep well last night which means that I’ll crash hard later today, but instead of tossing and turning in bed, I decided to hang out in the studio and do a little coloring. As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

I stamped the images with Memento ink using my Misti. As you know, this is the traditional Copic safe ink but it doesn’t always result in a crisp image. So I left the stamps in place on the Misti lid and after coloring the image, I put the image panel back in and stamped a second time using Versafine ink. This resulted in a darker, crisper image for the final result. Just make sure that you are finished coloring with your Copics BEFORE you restamp with Versafine since the ink is not alcohol marker compatible.

That’s all for today! See you again soon!

Get Well Soon Hydrangea | Colorado Craft Company

HEY FRIENDS! It’s time for another edition of Nancy and Jill Color Together! As you know, Jill Killeen of Killeen House Studio asked me to participate in a monthly challenge with her where we would color the same image and see how we each interpreted it. This month was my turn to pick the image and I chose the Get Well Hydrangea Digital Stamp from Colorado Craft Company.

I’ve always loved blue hydrangeas so I knew right away the color combination that I would use. I decided to blow up the image so that it took up as much real estate as possible on the panel. From there, I kept the coloring simple, but the end result is pretty spectacular (if I may say so myself!) because the flower is taking center stage. I used the Hello die from the Basic Trios Die Set cut from metallic kraft paper for a little shine.

And now it’s time for Jill’s card. Be sure you check out her blog post with all the details!

Anita Jeram Topiaries & Kittens by Colorado Craft Company

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings1 Comment

HEY FRIENDS! I’m still on a roll coloring Anita Jeram images. Today I’m featuring the Kittens & Topiaries stamp set by Colorado Craft Company – it’s one of the older images, but I’m just getting around to coloring it. I’ve got plenty more in my stash to color up so stay tuned!

Products featured:

To start, I created an A2 top folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest cardstock and cut an A2 piece of Simon Says Stamps Cardstock in Fog Gray. I glued the background panel to the cardbase and set them aside.

Next, I stamped the image from the Anita Jeram Topiaries & Kittens on a piece of Hammermill Smooth Cardstock using Nuvo Hybrid Ink in Black Shadow. Afterwards, I trimmed the panel to 4″ x 5.25″. I positioned the Salvaged Brick Stencil by Honey Bee Stamps in place with Mint Low Tack tape by Scrapbook.com and colored in the brick pattern using an E04 Copic marker.

To finish, I adhered a piece of craft foam to the back of the image panel using Beacon’s 3-in-1 Advanced Glue and assembled the layers as shown.

That’s all for me today! Thanks for stopping by!

Better Together by Colorado Craft Company

HEY FRIENDS! More clean and simple projects as I work through my stash. Today project features another Anita Jeram stamp from Colorado Craft Company – Better Together. I love these images. They’re easy to color and can stand alone as the central image without further embellishment. As always, I’ve linked the supplies below with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

So this card is pretty straightforward. I did the usual – stamp the image on a Copic compatible paper using Amalgam Ink in Obsidian by Gina K. Designs. The image was colored with Copic markers (see list below). Once the coloring was finished, I ink blended the sky and grass using Catherine Pooler Designs inks in It’s a Boy and Lime Rickey using a domed foam blender. I liked the effect, especially for the sky since it gave the impression of clouds. After the ink dried, I stamped a sentiment from the Wishing You Happiness stamp set using Versafine ink in Onyx Black.

That’s it for me today! Talk to you again soon!
