Hi Friends, I'm going on day 10 of some virus/infection that has me feeling miserable. I do feel well enough to craft but not much else! lol. I hope I get well soon. I've had it with this. So on to the card...
I made this card for the Flourishes TT202 "New" challenge. My new items are the paper pack, Crate Paper-Fourteen, the heart shaped circle punch, EK success and the grey twine, Doodlebug, I think. I also use an embossing folder, MME button, pearls and Antique Linen Distress Ink (my fav).
As you can see, I also used the DS84-Sketch. Another great one by Jen S.
So, aren't these colors luscious? Love them!

Bye for now! Kim :)

Ahoy Matey!

Hey there, I have been making lots of cards lately and having fun! I decided to go for what I thought at first would be a hard challenge, the There She Goes color challenge this week! Blue, Black and Yellow, what??
I truly couldn't imagine those colors together at first. So I went home and looked thru my TSG stamps and found this stamp set! Oh, so THIS is how I can use these colors...(Yes, I added a little red).
I used this week's SSSC175 for the sketch. I am playing in several challenges:
SSSC175-Sketch
TSG189-Blue,Black & Yellow
Tuesday Throwdown129-Shiny and New

Paper-Simple Stories (yellow) MME-Grey
Stamps-There She Goes
Ink-Momento Tuxedo Black, Copics
Other, Punch EK Success, Spellbinder dies, Twine-PTI, Gems-Recollections, Button-Joannes

KK Animal House

Hey there, I wanted to play in the Kraftin Kimmie Challenge this week. The challenge is Animal House, use a  stamp with an animal on it! I didn't think I had one (besides Speedy the Turtle) so when I looked thru my KK stamps, I found "Bella". And she has KITTIES!!! Now I know why I bought it and she was fun to color.
I used my new Crate Paper-Fourteen again. Some other products used are a "new to me" MFT flower die, pearls, sewing machine.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi Friends, I made this for the Flourishes Jan. Release Challenge cuz I want to win some new stamps! I love Flourishes stamps. Last year I bought this set and didn't use it. I sure had fun when I inked it up yesterday. I used a new paper pack, Crate Paper-Fourteen. It's more vintage-y than I expected but I like it. I used last weeks Mojo Monday sketch, just changed it a little bit. I got the ribbon from Flourishes too. The little tag is PTI and so is the Love sentiment. The sweet friend sentiment is Flourishes. Spellbinder dies, a punch, dew drops, and bakers twine were also used.

BTW, if any of you are having trouble with uploading photos in Blogger, use Chrome instead of Internet Explorer. ( I learned that today when looking for a solution.)

Take care!, Kim

Good Evening Friends, I'm getting a jump on a Valentine card while getting to use this fabulous Carta Bella Paper! It's soooo pretty.

This is my card for the Deconstructed Sketch DT Call. I would so love to be on this team. I love sketches and almost never make a card without one. (although I did today, lol)!
I used the great TSG stamp set "Buckets of Love". Very fun set....

For the half circle cut outs I used a tiny spellbinder die because I don't have a punch that size. I was trying to do something a little different. I added some pearls and some nice red polka dot ribbon. Copics were used to color, of course, oh I love them so.

I enjoyed making this and I hope to make many more cards for the Deconstructed Sketch. :)

Take care! Kim

A Happy Hello

 

Hi there, I don't know what's wrong with Blogger but I can't add any more photos or challenge images to this post. :) Don't know why.

I started my card idea with a Flourishes stamp set, A year of Flowers 2. I used the morning glories and also a sentiment from another flourishes set, Sentimental Favorites.

The sketch I used was Mojo 273. Paper is Pink Paisley. Trim is Tim Holtz ruffled trim, some ribbon, and some pearls colored with Copics.
