KKS July Mid Challenge Inspiration - Stamp & Stencil Combo!

Good morning and welcome to our

Mid Month Inspiration post for this month's challenge

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are back today with an inspirational post showcasing more ideas to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing for this month's challenge!

This month our Saturday Challenge themes for you are:
Ocean/Beach and/or Wild Card!

You can choose one or both...whatever inspires YOU!

I'm using the Wild Card prompt to create a card with one of my fav stamp and stencil combos - Fairies and Furries stamp set & Swirling Stars stencil! 

I used the Swirling Stars stencil with Texture Paste on watercolour paper and then added Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals powders to create a beautiful bright background!

I coloured the adorable fairy from the Fairies and Furries stamp set with alcohol markers and added some white gel pen highlights. I popped up the image and the coordinating sentiment and finished it off with a few sequins!

We can't wait to see what you create!

*****

These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however, using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp products will earn you double entries!

Our Challenges are now combined with the

I'm sharing the new I Scream, You Scream layering stencil for my card today! There are so many options for delicious ice cream treats, so I decided to add lots of colours for lots of flavours! 

I added a sentiment strip using the new Sum-Sum-Summertime stamp set and a diecut 'hi' which was cut from blue cardstock. I added some blue ink to create an ombre colour and some white gel pen for highlights!
