pah rum pa pum pum! I love the Little Drummer Boy!

I got this image and the coordinating ones from High Hopes last year before Christmas. It is alot of work to color for mass produced cards but fun for one! It is the only image I own that has a musical instrument so i am using it for the Papercraft Planet 12 days of christmas challenge but the site is down right now. I used the Unity sketch and the red piece is stamped with Unity's worn grid - it is becoming my go to background stamp! I distressed all the edges and then I inked them up - I got a little carried away on the main image but it took to long to color to re-do! I desperately need a new small water brush!!!!! Any suggestions?! I thought the twine was perfect for this! I inked up only part of the sentiment to fit my rectangle punch! Thanks for looking!

Tools:
CS: Real Red, Old Olive ?, Choc Chip, Very Vanilla
Stamps: Little Drummer Boy from High Hopes, Worn Grid by Unity
Ink: Choc Chip, Close to Cocoa
Other: SU markers, Skin White Copic, Twine, Pink Marvy Rectangle punch, Tim Holtz distress tool, aqua pen

Who is the Krafty Mama?


Hi I'm the Krafty one! :) I'm the Queen to 2 little knights and a sweet princess. I married my knight in shining armor (kevlar) over 8 years ago and I am a REAL mom, wife and substitute teacher trying to be the best I can be! I love "krafting" but tend to buy more supplies than I actually use. I love make up, nail polish, hair products and fashion but have been known to leave the house in sweats a messy bun and no make up! I love to cook and bake but am guilty of feeding my kids McDonalds in a pinch. I love direct sales and have joined too many to mention! I would love to get to know you!
