Sea Jewels Release — Shore Do Love You!

Welcome to Kraftin Kimmie Stamps‘ release of SEA JEWELS, the latest and greatest Krafty Klubhouse Kit!  The set is available right HERE right now, but first, I hope you’ll check out our release hop where one lucky commenter will be chosen to receive the SEA JEWELS set for free!  🙂

If you’d like to start at the beginning of the hop, you can do that HERE.  If you’ve just come from Jessie, you’re right on track.

As I mentioned yesterday, the kit comes with three adorable mermaid images plus seven coordinating sentiments. Sooo sooo cute.

I colored my mermaid with Copics, using the “feathering” technique to blend the yellow into the green on her body.  To feather, begin along the bottom edge with the green marker and, with light strokes, pull the marker about 3/4 of the way across the area, lifting the marker lightly at the end of each stroke.  Then from the opposite edge, repeat with the yellow marker, going into the green area, lifting the marker lightly at the end of each stroke. When I was finished blending, I added some darker/brighter green along the base as well as some sparkles from a Buttermilk Spica glitter pen.

Don’t forget, if you order the SEA JEWELS kit before June 22, you’ll also receive a 20% off code to use on any online order in July!

Your next stop along the hop is with one of my stamping buddies and idols, JENNY PETERSON.  (LOVE her work!)

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!
