Cute Card Thursday Fun!!
6:00 AM
Another post from me this week?? What's going on!!? Haha! I'm super excited to share that Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is sponsoring the sketch challenge over at Cute Card Thursday!!
Now you know sketches are my favourite type of challenge, right?? So I HAD to play along and it's a super fun sketch and perfect for our images too!

I used the lovely Aurora from our Summer Mermaid Kit, which is still available for a short while longer! I stamped her on Neenah with Memento ink and coloured her in with my Copic markers. Now, I'll share a little secret with you.....I was adding some scales to her lovely fin and I was using my BG75 for some darker flecks and just as I got to the curve at the bottom of her tail....my marker barfed all over my beautifully coloured image!! I may have shrieked out loud....I may have. Well, wouldn't you?? So, this type of colouring mishap calls for some strategically placed embellishments. Prima flowers to the rescue!! Haha! Anyway, you can't tell the blob is there, so all is well.

I finished her off by pop dotting the main layer and adding some sparkle to her little starfish hair ornaments with my Sakura Stardust gel pen. Lastly I added one of the fantastic phrases from the Mermaid Sentiments set, which also comes with the kit!
A couple of other Krafty Girls played along with this week's CCT challenge, so hop around and see if you can find them!! Then play with us and you could be the random winner of some new KKStamps!!!
Happy kraftin'!!
