June 2024 Kris Lauren Confection Collection from Colorado Craft Company + Giveaway

Hey there! Today we're kicking off a blog hop and giveaway with the latest release from Colorado Craft Company, designed by Kris Lauren! The Convection Collection is full of adorable critters celebrating with presents, cake batter bowls, and cooking utensils. You'll find fun elements like balloons, gifts, cupcakes, and slices of cake, featuring a pig, a fox, and a squirrel. I’ve created a special project with Copic coloring and popped-up die cuts to showcase these festive scenes. Let's dive into the fun and get inspired together!

I had so much fun diving into the Convection Collection with my trusty Copic markers. One of the things I love about this release is the large, open images that make coloring such a joy. The designs really allow for blending and shading, which is perfect for bringing these adorable critters to life.

For my project, I chose the peeking pig, a huge mixing bowl, and some festive balloons. The pig's curious expression and the playful elements were just begging to be colored! I started by die cutting the images, then stamping them on X-Press It Blending Card with Hero Arts Intensified Black Ink, which is perfect for Copic coloring.

Using a mix of vibrant and pastel shades, I colored the pig with RV17, RV09, RV11, and RV13 for a cute, rosy look. The mixing bowl was shaded with a combination of yellow-orange hues using YR12, YR15, YR09, and Y13 to give it a warm, cheerful appearance. For the balloons, I went with a mix of yellow-orange and pink tones, using Y18, Y13, Y11, Y17, YR04, and YR07 for a lively and festive vibe.

After coloring, I used foam tape to pop the images up on the front of my card, adding depth and dimension. The result is a cheerful, celebratory card that's perfect for many occasions!
