Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Challenge #1!!

Woohoo! It's our very first challenge over at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge Bloggy-poo!! Hope you'll play along!!

This week's challenge is a very simple one....I wanted to ensure that everyone could join in the fun! All you have to do is create.....a Birthday card!! A card or project or scrapbook page with a birthday theme!! Easy, right? We all need more of those in our stash!!



So here is my design!! I used our lovely friend, Francesca!! I thought she would look awesome in pinks and browns....you know that's one of my fave colour combos!! And this fun piece of Creative Imaginations patterned paper has those colours, plus some lovely creamy yellows!! Mmmm.

I stamped Francesca on Neenah smooth cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured her in with Copic markers. I then sponged around the edges of the main layer with So Saffron and Close to Cocoa inks. The card base is Chocolate chip and the pink cardstock is some lovely Bazzill Bling! I used my Fiskars border punch across the bottom strip and added some Rose Red grosgrain ribbon. I also coloured the cupcake accessory stamp that comes with Francesca and cut it out...then used it on the sentiment layer tag! The sentiment is from Kimmie's Everyday Sentiments set which has over 30 fun phrases in some super fonts!!



So head on over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog and check out the lovely creations by our Krafty Girls!!! Then join in the fun and you could win some shiny new rubbah!!!

Have a fabulous weekend and Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends!!!
