Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #44 - Michele's Sketch Challenge!

 Hello everyone!

I hope you are all having a spectacular weekend...

It has been raining A LOT here. 

So much so that all the creeks and rivers

have now over flowed and some parts of Victoria 

have been flooded... Ummm so much for that nice spring 

weather that we were hoping to experience soon...It seems as 

though winter has lasted forever this year!

On the up side of everything though, it time for another

Kraftin Kimmie Challenge!

This week our very gorgeous Michele has

come up a sketch for you to try...

 

 This actually worked in perfectly for me this week as

it is my youngest son's birthday on Monday, he is turning

11 and it just so happens that Billy Bythe the Pirate is one

of his most favourite images that Kimmie has released.

 Here's Cam's Birthday Card...

 

 Billy Blyth is designed by artist Annie Rodrigue and 

 is approximately 3.75 x 1.5 inches.You can purchase Billy from the 

Kraftin' Kimme Store for $8.00 US. Isn't he perfect for a boy card?!

You will receive this stamp in unmounted deeply etched grey rubber. 

And you will also receive the coordinating jolly roger flag accessory stamp.

 

I used this gorgeous DP from Bo Bunny called "U Bug Me". 

The sentiment is from Kimmie's Pirate Sentiment Set 

and the border punches are from EK Success and Fiskas.

 

 

 And I coloured Billy in with my Prisma's.

I hope Cam likes it!

Wild Flower Wednesday Challenge #30 - Fall Colours!

Happy "hump day" everyone!

digital image of flowers which you can find at 

The Wild Flower Patch Store

Bella BLVD and are designed by Stephanie Hunt.

These two are from the "One Fall Day..." collection and they are

The butterfly punch is from Martha Stewart and the border 

punch is from Fiskas.

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #42 - I'm Seeing Stars....

 Hey, welcome to another  

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge. 

This week our very talented and amazing Diana

 has challenged us to use "Stars" on our creations!

 

 

For this card I decided to colour "Halloween Miles" again. 

Even though we don't celebrate Halloween here he is definitely

one of my favourite of Steven Leary images.

You can buy Halloween Miles at the 

Kraftin Kimmie Store 

for only $4.00 US. The image is approximately 2.75 x 2.5 inches

and comes as deeply etched unmounted grey rubber. 

Perfect size for any Halloween card.

The DP is Pink Paislee, from last year's "Twilight" 

collection and from this year's "Daydream" collection. 

I used my Bat border punch from Martha Stewart 

and not to waste anything I stuck the little bats from

the punch on the card too.

 

For the challenge part of the card I was going to punch out

some more stars, but it really didn't look as good as the bats

so I went with this star eyelet that I have had forever and put it next to

one of the many sentiments that you can buy to go with the 

August Halloween Release "Trick or Treat".

 

I coloured Miles in with my Prisma's and as you can see cut him out. 

I coloured the circle with my Tim Holtz distress ink called

"Spiced Marmalade".

So, if you would like to play along with us all

you need to do is head on over to the

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog

checkout all the details and then go and make a gorgeous card

that has as many stars as you want on it... Easy!! 

AND if you use a Kraftin' Kimmie image you could

win the extemely cute Halloween image Miles and Maise 

 that Diana has featured on her card...
