Day 13 - "K"

Kraft cardstock is so versatile and looks fabulous with almost every colour. I've used it, along with one of my favourite techniques, to create these four Christmas cards. Just for fun, I've also included a two-part time lapse of the poinsettia being coloured.


YOUR TURN: Create a card or papercraft project using the letter "K" as your prompt.

k, time to get kracking on my kard.
I like how one image turns into four cards that all look great.

Fabulous cards. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could actually colour this quickly with amazing results like this. 😀 xx

K-WOW!!!

... yes, that's a word now :)

Your turbo speed colouring is AMAZING Beccy, the image panel looks HUGE and your pencil layering and blending was a pleasure to watch! It's always really cool when you colour an image then slice-N-dice to make multiple cards! Needless to say, I think your Kraft Poinsettia cards are STUNNING!

Angélique said...

Wow, they are so beatiful! Thank you for linking to the tutorials, I have seen them before, but will look at them one more time, maybe this time I'll try it myself.

Beccy, these cards are lovely. Thank you for sharing your coloring process. I love the way you frame the flower images. Very simple but so effective to emphasize the main image. I would love to try this! You are so inspiring!

Mel C said...

So beautiful Beccy, it looks like velvet, how did you learn to color that fast?!

Margreet said...

Gorgeous cards and I love how you used only parts of that fab poinsettia.
Your videos are so valuable. I surely will give it a try!

What a beautiful poinsettia image. I love them, but I have more luck with poinsettias on cardstock than I do with the real thing. I buy one every Christmas but the longest I have kept one alive is probably two years. I dream of having one I keep alive and repot it every couple of years.

Colinda said...

Oh wow, your cards are so gorgeous, perfect coloring!! A fantastic idea to make 4 cards at a time! They all look so pretty, love the thin "stripes" of colored paper behind the images! I miss coloring on kraft, hope I can start it up again.

So very beautiful is this card and the use of the poinsettia x

Suzanne H said...

I love this technique but never remember to use it. It was fun to watch you color too!

Marianne said...

What a great way to create a 4 for 1. Thanks also for the videos. Really helpful. I always forget about colouring on kraft, even if I have done it a few times. Thanks for the inspiration, reminder and incentive. Time to get krafty!

Your poinsettia and your coloring are just beautiful.
I just love how you put the flower in each of your corner of the card, well done for sure....TFS
