Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge 76! Flowers!!

Hello, it's Saturday morning once again and time for a Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge. Our hostess with the mostest this week is Andrea and she wants us to use flowers on our cards.

Well, you wouldn't think that was hard, would you? I mean, it's not like I don't have oodles of flowers and papers with flowers on etc. But as you will see if you have read my last post, I totally messed up as I thought I was making a card for this week's challenge, but totally forgot about flowers and I used Chef Sheldon! So here I am again trying to get something posted that's actually correct!!

Anyway, I am dying to use all the new fairies from the Kraftin' Kimmie April Release, they are all so cute. I used Rosabelle for this card, one of the many awesome illustrations by our super talented Annie Rodrigue! Her work is amazing!!

I coloured Rosabelle with my Copics to match the S.U. Tea Party DP I had picked. It's retired now, but I love it. I cut her out using my circular and Pinking Nesties. The pinked frame is in Apricot Appeal. The other cardstocks are Wild Wasabi and Pretty in Pink. I used some handmade flowers , some Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon and a toadstool charm.

It's a simple card, but I didn't have much time to put it together. I'm happy with it anyway.

I hope you will all have a happy and safe weekend.

Blessings,

Diana

All the Pinks!

Hello again, I hope you are having a great weekend. Here in S.W. Ontario we are having a welcome cool down after a 4 or 5 day heatwave. It has been just dreadful, so we are thankful to be rid of the high heat and humidity. I think for the last couple of days, the high was 34C and with the Humidex factored in, it was like 44C. That is just horrid.

Anyway, now to this weeks' Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge. Our hostess this week is the Amazing Andrea, who wants us to use lots of pink on our cards. I used the Tree Fairy for my card, colouring her with my Copics of course. I can't remember the name of the patterned papers I used as I made this card while I was staying with my DD, Kraftin' Kimmie and I used some from her stash. I cut out the Fairy using some Labels Nesties, then cut out a larger piece in Going Gray and set the image on that. I used a square piece of the pretty flowery paper behind it, matted it on some more Going Gray and then put a strip of the other side of the patterned paper along the lower half, with a Pink Pirouette border behind it. Then I put a piece of Kimmie's yummy pink satin ribbon across and tied it. I put a few flowers in the top corner, then stamped the sentiment from Kimmie's Fairy Sentiments on a strip of P. Pirouette.

That's it, now it's your turn. If you create a card using one of Kraftin' Kimmie's stamps, you will be in for the random draw to win Nerissa, which is the stamp Andrea is using on her card. Be sure to go over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog and see all the pink creations from all the Krafty Girls.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Diana

Finally!! It's time for Kraftin' Kimmie's January Release and Blog Hop!!

Good thing it's time for Kraftin' Kimmie's January Release. I can't stand the wait any longer. The new stamps are just fabulous and I want to be able to use them and show them and also to give away cards made with them. The new stamps are now available on Kraftin' Kimmie's website. There are 12 new images, all of which have their own accessory stamp and there are 2 new sets of sentiments. One set has all sayings to go with the Steampunk images and the other set has sentiments to go with the Fairies

There are so many things to talk about, I'm afraid I'm going to forget something. I want to mention that Kimmie has a Special going on for the next 2 days. Every order will have a special something extra for you, also the first 50 orders of $75 or more will receive a free Oliver stamp as well. I love Oliver and since he is a winter stamp, you will still have lots of time to use him!! Of course, as usual every order over $100 will get free standard shipping. Good deals, huh!

Okay, now to my card. I used the beautiful Flower Fairy image, created by our incredibly talented Crissy Armstrong. She has given us 4 fairies for this release and they are all amazing!! I used Lavender Lace for the card base and my M.S. Playful Pink paper pad for the patterned paper. It was perfect for this soft, sweet creature. I matted the main PP on Certainly Celery, then onto the card body. I coloured in the fairy, then punched her out with my largest Labels 5 Nesties. I punched out another piece in the dotted green of my PP, turned it and set it behind the main image. I cut out a panel of the dotted pink matted on Lavender Lace and put it behind the green. I added some Prima Caboodles to the corners, some webbed type ribbon across the centre and I stamped the accessory stamp on Pretty in Pink using heat embossing with Winter Wonderland EP. I also used Stardust Stickles on the Lavender parts of her wings.

Of course this is also the day of our Super Blog Hop! You will see some great creations along your way, so be sure to start at the beginning, which is Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge Blog. If you have landed here from Melanie's blog, then you are in the right spot. Now I've made you read all my ramblings, it's time to move onto our fabulous Andrea's Blog. There are also some awesome guests along the way, who have very kindly agreed to be a part of our Happy Hop. You can leave a comment on every blog along the way if you like as that will give you more chances to win the great Blog Candy Kimmie is giving away. I believe that there will be 3 selections randomly chosen from 3 of the stops, so get typing, maybe you will be one of them!!

Have a wonderful day, hope I haven't forgotten anything!

Blessings,
Diana
