have you seen mimi lately

Love
Hello Friends, How are you today? I am good …busy… I usually like to space my posts out but, sometimes I don’t have any control over that. Today on the Penny Black blog they are featuring the new Mimi called “Mimi at Play” If you know me …. I  just had to play along with these sweet stamps.

I can’t wait to ink up this stamp again…so many possibilities! The graffiti was hand drawn by me with a sharpie marker and then watercolored with pencils. (If you google “graffiti” images lots of photos come up and they will get you started.) Sentiments are from this set. You may notice that on the finished card I went crazy with some brown distress ink and totally changed the color of the brick to my dismay.

Love this sweet car in the stamp set. The coloring was done with Copics  and I decided to add some distress ink cause I was going for a more vintage car look. I highly recommend glossy accents on the tires, lights and hardware.
Thanks for driving by…..I will be back in a few hours for a blog hop & another giveaway!
Hugs, Kathy

    what a great card Kathy. Your bricks look old and grungy and I really love your graffiti. Mimi looks super in her little truck with it’s shiny wheels.

    I love your graffiti & like you prefer the grey wall, however, it is such an encouragement that you posted the final brown version nonetheless (I’d not have thought anything of it had I not seen the grey version & read your explanation). It’s so heartening to know that what looks like a neatly planned out design has evolved
    along the way rather than being set out & then executed.
