☀️ Here Comes the Sun! ☀️

Hello crafty friends! With what looks to be the last week of hot sunshine I was inspired to make this summer card using the set – Here comes the sun from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps.

https://www.kraftinkimmiestamps.com/product/here-comes-the-sun/

I have stamped the image on to Fabriano Artistico HP watercolour paper with Antique Linen distress ink. I have used my Faber Castell Albert Durer watercolour pencils to colour her in.

For the background I have used the Krafty Scenery Stencil with Squeezed Lemonade and Spun Sugar Distress inks.

I Hope you like todays card. Thank you so much for visiting my blog. Hugs, Emma xxx

💚 Kawaii Force 💚

Hello lovelies I’m back today to share my final card with you as part of the C.C. Designs team. I have decided it’s time for me to leave and pursue my other goals as a wildlife artist. If you haven’t checked out my Facebook and Instagram – Emma Ireland Art then perhaps you might take a moment to have a peek. ❤️

I thought this card would suit a distress ink galaxy background. I haven’t done many of these as I prefer clean and simple but it was so much fun to have a play. I used one image and one sentiment and I stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured them with my Prismacolour pencils.
