Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge # 71

Hi everyone, today my card is for the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Blog. The challenge is to make a card with spring colors. For my focal image I chose the Mae stamp, and I colored her with my Copic markers and added some Star Dust Stickles on her belt and on the sand I created. The cardstock I used is from Gina K, and the design paper is from Basic Grey's Kioshi paper pad. I added some lace that I had in my stash and ribbon from Offray. The rhinestones are from Queen & Co., and the flowers are from Prima. I've just started collecting Kimmie's stamps and I love them and can't wait to be able to get her new ones (when my wallet will allow me.) Thank you for taking the time to stop by and have a wonderful day!

Magnolia-Licious Challenge # 5

Hello. My card for today is for the Magnolia-Licious Challenge Blog, and this week its an inspiration challenge. Our inspiration picture is a cross made out of easter eggs on a bed of grass. Its very spring looking with beautiful pastel colors. My card is made with cardstock from Gina K and the design paper is from K & Company. I cut an opening in the center front of the top layers with nestabilities labels fourteen and put my focal image behind it. The image I used is, Tilda with small gift stamp, that I colored in with Copic Markers. I added flowers that I had from my stash, and from Prima, rhinestones from Queen & Co. in lavendar, and ribbon from Paper Trey Ink in lemon tart. I also used a couple of single Fleur De Lis from Spellbinders Pendants. The sentiment is from Paper Trey Ink"s Mega Mixed Messages stamp set. This is an older stamp set but I find I use it alot. Its very versatile. I Thank you for stopping by and have a great day.
