For my blog hop creation I used …… KENNY K – STAR.

Whimsy Stamps - Kenny K - Star - available at www.quixoticpaperie.co.uk

I am loving colouring the Kenny K images at the moment, so much fun!  I have of course, used Copics:

Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11 Hair: 100, C00, C3, C4, C5, C7, C9 Outfit/Guitar: RV21, RV23, RV25, C00, C3, C5, C7, 100 Background: BG0000, BG10, BG11, W1, W2, W3, W5, W7

I added some sparkle using the Sakura Clear Stardust Glitter pen. Papers are some old DCWV ones – Rockstar I think.  The stars were cut using a Nestabilities set, and the black one is actually grunge paper, embossed using a Tim Holtz folder and inked using Distress Ink – Soot Black, sprayed with Glimmer Mist for sparkle!

Before you go…I am one of today’s prize stops!  Yep!  sign up using Mr Linky below and you could win Kenny K’s Vikki Lee Vicious stamp (draw will take place on 16th February after Noon EST!
