New Kenny K Images!!!!!

Today's an exciting day as Kenny K has released two new Social Media related digis and a sheet of sentiments. 

Yep that's right! New Kenny K's!!!!!

I love both the new digis -  Texting Friends and Retro Selfie, but couldn't resist playing with Retro Selfie first.

The theme at Kenny K's Krafty Krew is Black and White to I stuck mainly to that colour scheme.

Here's Retro Selfie in all her glory.

I coloured her with my Copics & Spectrum Noir Pencils

Skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04 with R20 Cheeks

Hair - N5, N7, N9

Dress and Shoes - C5, C7, C9

Camera - E25, E27, E29, Gold Gel Pen

Stool - E33, E35, E37, E39

I designed the film strip and sentiment frame in Inkscape and cut it on my Cougar Cutting Machine.

I added a touch of Sakura Stardust Gel Pen to the sentiment.

I hope you're as excited as I am about these new images.

Happy Birthday Betty!!!!!

SURPRISE!!!!!!!

Well it won't be a surprise by now I know as I'm the 3rd hop on the list, but I hope the whole Birthday Hop was a lovely big surprise for you Betty!

I'm sure you're adding up wrong cos there's no way you can be 40? You certainly don't act it - but then again who wants to act their age? You act as you want and have fun with it.

I hope you're having a really great birthday celebration & hope our little contribution adds into it. 

Here's what I made with the lovely image made especially for you by the wonderful Rachel.

The web frame is a cut file from the Silhouette Store. I backed it with some silvery web paper. I love how the silhouette shows through on the shadow.

From the back you can see more clearly how shiny it is. 

You'll see it yourself once it's made it's way across the pond in the post, 

but for the moment the photo will have to do

Here's how I coloured Rachel's gorgeous image. I've always had a soft spot for her drawings. Her Teens were what introduced me to Simply Betty Stamps. I loved colouring her.

It's difficult to catch on camera but I added a touch of Sakura Tiara Gel Pen to the Sentiment.

 

I really hope you have a wonderful 40th Birthday Betty xxx

Your next stop on the hop is with the wonderful Irene

Here's who else is involved.

Using a die and Sassy Stuidios

It's challenge time at Through the Purple Haze Challenges and this week we're sponsored by Tonic Studios and Sassy Studio Designs. 

I used Dark Fairy Sassy and layered her on Tonic Studios Baroque Oval die cuts.

I cut the Baroque Ovals from white card and coloured them with Krylon Gold Leafing pen.

I made the sentiment using a clear stamp freebie from Making Cards magazine & embossed it with Evergreen WOW Embossing powder/

I coloured  Dark Fairy Sassy with my Copics.

At certain angles you can see the shimmer I added to her wings.

I really hope you like her x

Snow!!! With Kenny K

Well Halloween's over so now it's time to count down to Christmas! Or so some clever friend told me. I'm not one for counting down this far ahead, but the Optional twist for Kenny K's Krafty Krew challenge is 'Snow' so winter it is!

I've fallen in love with the Acetate based cards so decided to make another one. This time I used my Cougar Cutting Machine from Thyme Graphics to engrave snowflakes into the acetate. 

I used a thinner acetate than usual and the engraving actually went through the acetate more than intended, but it all adds to the snowy feel.
