Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge # 17 - Stash The Booty...

Hey Everyone,

I hope you are having a fabulous day so far...
And what a great way to start the weekend off with a

Kraftin Kimmie Stamp Challenge!

This week the gorgeous and very talented
Melanie has asked us to...

"Stash The Booty"

Mel wants us to include a hidden element on our cards and how
perfect is Kimmie's new pirate images for this challenge!
You are a clever girl!!!!

For this challenge I was a bit stuck...
I had all these ideas running through my head
but just couldn't really think of anything...
You know....AMAZING.
So, I went for the old "hiding a tag" on your card trick...
It seemed to work ok....

So without further ado
I would like to introduce you to

Alicia!!




How COOL is she!!!
I love ALL the new release stamps but I honesty have
to say Alicia is up there with my favourites...

With this card I picked this really funky Basic Grey DP
because it is bold and has in your face kinda colours and I just
made a pocket for the tag to go in the top...
Really easy to do....



As you can see I made the tag to match the rest of the card
and I put the sentiment "It's Ya Birthday" from the
Pirate Phrases on it instead of on the actual card ...
I thought I would let Alicia shine as this is her big moment!



I coloured her in with my Prismas...
Just keeping with the colours that are on the DP.
I must say she is SO fun to colour!!!



Then I decorated the inside of the card with a border of the DP
and used the
"Well Blow Me Down"
also from the Pirate Phrases...



So there you go...
I know it's not exactly what Mel asked for...
But... You know...It sort of is....

able to purchase Kimmie's new Pirate Stamps
