Watercoloring with Ken Oliver Color Burst

Posted in July 2015, MFT Summer School Lesson by Kreative Kymona

Second Post for today
If your looking for the Playing with Secondary Colors, click here

Hello everyone!! I’m here again for a second time!! Yes, two in a row. Once again I’m trying to get my homework done for MFT Summer School!

Lesson #8 – Primary Colors

Primary colors are the most basic colors on the color wheel!! They are Red, Yellow and Blue!! These colors create all of the other colors you see in the world around you.

They form a triangle, take a look at the color wheel above!!

Amazing right!! Now take a look at my card:

I used two primary colors to create that watercolor hello!! I love how it turned out.

I used Ken Oliver Color Burst Lemon Yellow and Alizarin Crimson which are primary colors. I added Pthalo Green which is a secondary color for added interest. I don’t have the blue color burst yet. I will get it very soon.

Take a look at that watercolor piece:

To create the card, I just used the My Favorite Things Die-namics TRANSFORM-ables Say Hello Die and cut out the hello and attached it to my card base that I previously cut out.

Super simple and easy.

So what do you thing of primary colors? I have to say this lesson really gave me a different perspective about colors.

What do you thing? Please let me know down below.

Top Dog Dies – No Stamping Card

Posted in July 2015, Top Dog Die by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!!! It’s Top Dog Die Wednesday!! I’m here to showcasing Top Dog Dies Pretty Petals Die Set #2!!

This die set is such a versatile set. You can use it to create some many different crafty things.

For my card today, I decided to use only my dies and no stamping on my card.

Take a look:

I love how my flowers turned out and this card didn’t require any stamping.

For the card panel, I used retired Stampin’ Up! Polka Dot Embossing Folder to create the dots.

I die cut each flower out of Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine pattern paper and attached them with foam tape. I used my Copic Multiliner to draw the stem. I added some Stampin” Up! Rhinestones to the center of each flower.

To add a sentiment, I die cut the Top Dog Dies Hello from the same pattern paper and used Tombow Liquid Glue to adhere it to the card panel.

I added my card panel to my card base and WaLa!!!!

Super simple and complete!!

Wedding Die Set

Aren’t these dies fantastic!! This release is such a great release!

Here are some of my cards that I create for this release.

For this card, I used the Top Dog Dies Pretty Petals 2 Die and die cut the card panel and a watercolor panel.

I adhered the watercolor flower to the card base. Then I used foam adhesive to attach the card panel.

I used Papertery Ink Enclosed: Apple Mini Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment in My Favorite Think Hybrid Black Ink.

I added a retired Stampin Up large rhinestone in the center.

For this card, I used the Top Dog Dies Pocket Pages Banner Die Set and Top Dog Dies Hello Die Set to create this card.

I die cut all of the pieces out of Snap Studio Just the Basics pattern paper and adhered them to my pocket page card.

To create this card, I just die cut my white cardstock using the two biggest die to create my card front and used only the biggest die for the back panel.

I attached the teal pattern paper behind the front card panel.

I scored a line to the top of the back card panel and added tape to attach the front and the back panel. Since I added a score line the card can open.

I used Simon Says Stamps Lila’s Heart Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment.

Super cute. Cute for a pocket page scrapbook too.
