Kenny K's Krafty Krew Challenge- black and white plus one

Hope you're enjoying your weekend. It's Sunday so it's time for another Kenny K's Krafty Krew Challenge! This week's challenge is black and white plus one other colour.

I used Kenny K's Big Surprise. I coloured with copics and paper pieced her sweater and neck scarf. I so love the retro feel of this image. I must admit I don't think I've ever used this colour combination before but I really like it- sometimes less is more! The papers I've used were a mixture of Echo Park Happy Days and October Afternoon Hometown. I can't remember where the yellow polka dot was from. I used the MFT Say What? stamp set and die for the sentiment and the Skyline border is also a Die-namic.

I've used Cool Kid coloured with copics and shadows done with watercolour pencils. These papers are called Oxford by Basic Grey. I used the notebook die from MFT on one of the papers and then ripped some of the perforations. My Mum saw it and said "Oh dear, you've ripped that" I had to explain I'd done it on purpose!!! Sentiments are from the You Rule A La Mode stamp set by MFT.

Kenny K's Krafty Krew Challenge- Get Sketchy!

Happy Sunday! Hope you are enjoying your weekend and managing to do a bit of crafting. Today's theme over at Kenny K's Krafty Krew is a sketch so why not join in the fun?

Here is a card I made a couple of weeks ago for my sister as she was staying with us whilst we were lucky enough to go to a few Olympic events. We've both really been into the Olympics so I decided to make her a card to celebrate. I used Olympic Runner by Kenny K and coloured him with copics. The papers I've used are by Making Memories. I got the outline of the flag online here and then just paper pieced. The sentiment is a Sizzix alphabet called Smart Guy.

Close up!

Here is the fabbie sketch we had to work with.

Kenny K Challenge- Your Favourite Ice Cream!

Hello folks. Wow- how fantastic are we doing in the Olympics??!!! Go Team GB!!! I was privileged enough to be at the athletics on Friday night and saw Jess Ennis being her usual amazing self. The atmosphere was amazing, the park was so well organised. It really is a time to be so proud to be British. It was such an amazing, exciting day!

It's Sunday so it's time for another Kenny K Krafty Krew Challenge! Yay! This week's theme is your favourite ice cream colours. Great challenge, right?!

So my favourite ice cream colours are chocolate, raspberry and caramel! Yummy! I've used Queen's Cutie by Kenny K and coloured her with copics, adding a few highlights with a white coloured pencil. I've cut round her which I was quite pleased with as I must admit I've always been quite scared to do that before in case it went wrong and it mucked up the hour I'd spent colouring the image!!! These beautiful papers are MME Happy Heart. The speech bubble and scalloped border are Die-namics. The sentiment is by Papertrey Ink.

Close up!

Hello peeps! Hope you're all well and have been enjoying the Olympics so far. 

Today is Sketch Saturday time and we have a fabulous sketch for you to work with.

I've used Rock Dude from Kenny K for a birthday card for my brother. This is such an amazing image to colour! I coloured him with copics and a bit of lyra pencil shading here and there. These papers are by We R Memory Keepers and are called Teen Angst. The sentiment is by Papertrey Ink. I added eyelets (my embellie of the moment!) and some recycled string.

He looks very Jon Bon Jovi-ish don't you think?!

Close-up. I love how he's really rocking out!!!
