Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #90 - Distressing!

 Before we get to this week's challenge (which is terrific btw) 

I have one or two things to tell you...

Kimmie has announced on the KKS Blog that we have two

new Krafty Girls to corrupt...Woops!! I mean welcome!! The

first is the very talented Nicole Aspinall from Adelaide, Australia,

 which is like 45 minutes away from me so this makes me VERY

happy!! I love the thought of having a KG so close!!! And the

second is no stranger to the KKS world...welcome also, the amazing 

and gorgeous Pam Varnell, who doesn't live so close, but this makes

me VERY happy also!! Please go and have a peak at their amazing

work and say hello!!!

 Second big thing is that Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is sponsoring

Jen Del Munro's August SFYTT!!! COOL!! I love Jen's

sketches and I do try to participate every month....SO this

is the August sketch....Oh and I almost forgot...This week's

challenge hostess is Melanie and she would like you to use

"DISTRESSING" on your card!!! Another COOL

challenge!!!

 This is my card....

 I ran out of time this week to colour up an image so I sort

of cheated and used one of Kimmie's amazing quotes by Lucille Ball

from Krafty Quotes #1. I am actually glad I did cause I really like

how this card turned out ....I LOVE distressing things...Thanks Mel!!

The papers are from MME's Lost and Found collection. This 

particular 6x6 paper pad is called "Union Square"... I love black

and red together. I distressed around the edges of the paper using

my Heidi Swapp edge distresser, which I have had for ages and

then using my Tim Holtz Walnut Stain distress ink made it look a

little more grungier... The butterfly punch is from Martha and the

lace is from my favourite scrapbooking store in Adelaide...

Camelot.

 I don't know if you can see them but I put a line of pearls along

the top of the lace... It really does look better in RL!!

 I finished off the card by using "Sending You Smiles" from

Kimmie's Everyday Sentiment Set and punched out another

butterfly...

Now, please don't forget about Kimmie's
