This month's inspiration is the Ocean or WILD CARD. Of course, I chose the wild card. I chose my favourite (current) stamp set, Pandamonium.

If you know me, I adore pandas and the colour purple. I used both to make this slimline card. I also made what I call a "faux shaker" card. I used sequins placed randomly all over the background of the cutout. The pandas were coloured with Copic markers, C9, 7,6, and of course purple.

Do you have a favourite stamp set and colour? Let's see what you create!

July Skrappy Challenge!

Good morning, my Krafty Friends!

It's JULY and that means it's time for a new
Skrappy Challenge
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card! So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like!

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation!

I chose to use our new Stamp Set, Sum-sum-summertime **NEW Sum-Sum-Summertime! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps to make this ATC. The image was stamped with Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black ink Wicked Black Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and coloured using Copic markers. I used the Summer Sunburst stencil and inked it up with a light layer of Sandy Shores ink Sandy Shores Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps, and then a little Bashful Blush ink Bashful Blush Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps to fill in and edge the outside of the white cardstock. After fussy cutting the images were placed onto the cardstock and the sentiment was added with Wicked Black Ink. This image reminds me so much of Neopolitan Ice cream. Yummy. What is your favourite flavour of ice cream?
