Seriously?? It's Saturday already???? Challenge Time!
I can't believe this week went by so quickly!! Honestly, I think I skipped the middle of the week entirely!! *sigh* Oh well, one good thing about the weekend.....it's Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge time!!! yaaay!
This week our hostess is the PRECIOUS PAM!! *giggle* She's gonna kill me when she sees that! She calls me precious all the time and so I call her silly names back! But really I love the sweet things she calls me!! Warms my heart!! Anyway....on to the challenge!! Pam has designed this gorgeous sketch to inspire us!! And it really inspired me!!
I absolutely adore sketches because it takes all the guesswork out of the design of the card, which is often the hardest part! I don't think I've ever had a card whip up so quickly! To be honest, and don't spread this around because I'm usually SO ultra organized, but I didn't start my card until about 7pm last night!! Eeek! Like I said, my week just disappeared somewhere along the line and I ran out of time! But with this sketch, I had this card done in an HOUR!! For me, that has got to be some kind of record!!!
The image I used is one of the three stamps that comes in the O Holy Night Nativity Set by Cheryl Alger! I LOVE IT!! The papers I used are from the Mitten Weather Cosmo Cricket line....love the soft colours! I coloured up the shepherd and his flock with my Copic markers and drew in some grass. The card is a 5.25 ins kraft base and I used Wild Wasabi for matting.
To complete this design I stamped one of the phrases from our Nativity Sentiments set and then added a trio of buttons! These two sets of stamps are put together in a Gimme Kimmies Kit right now and at a discount, but only for a limited time! All our September Gimme Kimmies Kits are now available, so hop on over to the Shop and pick 'em up!!
I will also be entering this card in the Touch Twin Markers Challenge!!
Now head on over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog and check out what the other Krafty Girls have to share! Then be sure to join us for this week's challenge and YOU could win some new rubbah!!
Happy kraftin'!
