Oh how I love a challenge. My friend has had this Kinkade collection on her shelf for a while. Every time I would visit I would look at the beautiful quality of these rubber stamps from CHF and think, oh, if I could only do them justice in coloring. Well today was the day to try! I had made up my mind that if I didn't like the results I would just rip it up and go on (lesson learned). I have seen MANY beautiful monochromatic versions of this stamp but in my mind's eye Kinkade is known for his color.What coloring medium you may ask....well I have seen beautiful work with prismacolors and watercolor techniques, but I was determined that my copics can do anything!
I stamped this Thomas Kinkade stamp in Adirondack (espresso) ink and then slowly started...where to start! Ack! I have heard to start with the lightest parts first so that is what I did. For a final touch I coated it with UTEE and it has a very pretty glossy picture finish.
Thanks to my friend for the little push, it is really fun when something unexpected turns out so well. I just love to color!
Thanks for coming to look!
I'm also entering this in Julee's mojo monday, I do think I came up with some serious mojo today. Thanks Julee!

We have all seen tons of Kincaide cards but your card leaves us WOWED. PERFECT coloring!!!
Holy smokes! That is absolutely amazing! Just wow!
Holy cow, Sherrie! This looks like the master painted it himself! What incredible shading you achieved - and the card is just SO GORGEOUS! Thanks for playing! :)
PHENOMENAL! you should submit this card to the copic marker card makers gallery - it's better than much of what i saw there! :) have a great day!
I know you did this awhile ago, but I just found it on the gallery. I have this stamp (my husband flyfishes) but haven't used it yet. I think I am intimidated both the stamp and the Copics. I got a full set for Christmas last year. An words of advice would be greatl appreciated.
Thanks,
