Good morning and welcome to another Saturday challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. This week the challenge is LOVE/FRIENDSHIP! Since Valentines Day is fast approaching I wanted to make a sweet Valentine using the adorable You're Gnawsome images along with a tree stump from the Whimsical Gnomes set. These cute beavers are one of the New Releases for January - and they sold out in record time - so thank goodness they are back in stock!!
Each and every Saturday we post a brand new challenge for the week and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like! These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and products will earn you double entries! The monthly prize is a $40 gift voucher to the krafty shop!!! Woohoo! There are TWO ways to enter....you can link up your creation on the Kraftin' Kimmie Blog AND you can upload your photo to the album in our Krafty Friends facebook group!
I started off by stamping my images with Wicked Black Krafty Kolours Ink and then colouring with Copic Markers. I added a few white gel pen dots and dashes for highlights and fussy cut them out. This beautiful paper is designed by Nicole Wright and just released by Wild Whisper! I couldn't wait to use it on this card!! I love the way the sun turned out, stamped with Yummy Yellow Ink for an almost no-line look!
I used both Krafty Scenery Stencils to create grass, trees and clouds (sponged with Enchanting Emerald, Green Goblin & Bubbly Blue) on this fun textured paper that I cut into a heart shape with a Sizzix dotted die. The dots made it easy to add some neat stitching around the edge. The Tim Holtz Valentine Side Order dies worked great with the fun mixed media look papers, and the little envelopes were perfect to add a few stamped love notes to.
I tucked one of the cute love letters under this guy's tail and added glittery Stardust gel pen and Glossy Accents to various areas. I embossed the cute, punny sentiment with white embossing powder and added Pastel and Lovey Krafty Dots for even more embellishment!
Inside, I cut a banner from more of Nicole Wright's paper and stamped another sentiment from the set. This is such a great set and would be totally cute for Anniversaries, Birthdays, Woodland Themes and Friend Cards too!
We also have a sketch to inspire you for the month of January! Feel free to use it any time you like when you need a little kickstart to your creative process!
