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!

It's time to bring you NEW stamp sets and layering stencils

So we will be sharing FOUR new stamp sets (including a summer Krafty Komeback) and TWO new sets of layering stencils over the course of this week!

Today we are excited to kick things off with a stunning and elegant stamp set from artist Michelle Houghton called 
FLORAL FUN!!  

 This beautiful floral stamp is so perfect for any of your cards.  I chose the iris image for my card today.  I coloured with watercolour pencils and then lightly blended with my waterbrush.  I love how the colours are vibrant but soft too.

For the first card I used the amazing stencil Layering Eggs and inked up the first layer with a variety of Kraftin Kimmie inks and the second layer is white stencil paste that I added some stickles to, for a slightly shimmery accent. I added a die cut and I think that the beautiful stencil is definitely the highlight of this 6x6 card. 

The second card uses an image from New Beginnings.  I thought that the little bunny was a perfect image for a focal point and added a  Happy Easter die cut to complete this mini slimline card.

Happy Krafting!
