Hey, it's day 3 of theKraftin' Kimmie June ReleaseANDit's also Saturday...Which means it's time for another Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge!!
Today the girls and I are sharing with you some absolutelygorgeous "Asian Inspired" images from our amazing artist Annie Rodrigue... You are going to LOVE them...
And today's challenge"24 Krafty Karat"is being hosted by our very talented and extremely sweet Krafty Girl Angie. Angie , the clever cookie that she is,would like you to use "GOLD" on your creation this week! Ok...So here goes... This is my card featuring the beautiful Akiko...

Akiko means "Sparkle"... I LOVE her!!! This really has to be

some of my absolute favourite images from Annie so far!!

Along with Akiko when you buy her you get the sentiment

"Wishing You Tranquility".

And of course Akiko isn't the only gorgeous Asian inspired image...

There is Kimiko, Takara, Sakura, Natsuko and Mizuki

ALL as gorgeous as the next!!!

The papers are from Cosmo Cricket's "Circa 1934"

6x6 paper pad and the border punch is from Fiskars.

I coloured Akiko in with my Prisma pencils and then

paper pieced her dress to match the papers I was using for

the card.

Then I stamped Akiko again on the inside of the card and usedthe sentiment "Happy Birthday" from Kimmie's Everyday Sentiment Set.
