I've been seeing these super cute Kraftin Kimmie stamps here and there, and they are adorbale, so I purchased a few last week. I've finally had a chance to color one. This little "lady" is called Charlotte. She's so stinkin' cute! I loved coloring her...with Copics of course.
Kraftin Kimmie has a blog, and there was a sketch challenge this week (#51), so I did that as well. It was a fun sketch.
Now I have to tell you a funny story about this paper. The orange "damask" paper. It's from a Pink Paislee pad called Hocus Pocus. Now, I HATE HATE HATE anything with skulls on it. But this pack had some pretty colors and designs and one was this orange damask. However, once I had the card finished, I realized that the "damask" was skulls! Oh.my.lands! I should really wear my reading glasses when I make projects! Joke on me!
The striped paper is from a Memory Box pad called Blackbird, and the purple swirl is from Cosmo Cricket Matilda. The orange swirl ribbon is from CropStop.
I used a stamp from Hero Arts for the inside. I make myself smile. I am such a goof! Look at those icky skulls! I told this story to my friend Pat last night and she rolled her eyes and laughed. I bet she always wears HER reading glasses!
This card is also being entered into the Color Challenge at OCC. They asked for green, orange, purple, brown, and white. I nailed that.
Love IT and the orange paper, of course I'm a Pirate so the skull and crossbones don't bother me arrrgghhhh ;)
