Challenge 108 - A Royal Sketch!! heehee!

I know a lot of you who will be hyperventilating as you hop around the Krafty Girl blogs today, checkin' out the AMAZING Alice in Wonderland stamps that Annie has created this month!!!  I know I did!!  We're very excited at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, for you to see all six of the new stamps plus the coordinating Wonderland Sentiments set combined with the fantastic Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge for this week, which is a fabulous sketch!!


I couldn't wait to play with this beautiful Red Queen stamp!!!  I had the perfect papers and idea for my card!!  I was so excited and I coloured it up when the girls were here at my house for our Krafty Khristmas party!  I was really happy with the way she turned out.  So I created the card using black, white and of course red...I added some wide grosgrain ribbon and tied a double bow using my Bow Easy.  




The element that I really wanted to add was the hand of cards behind the main image layer so I cut them out of the patterned paper and arranged them......I think that's a royal flush, isn't it??  I added a crown charm and some pearls!!






Now, remember how I said I was super excited about the Queen and had this great idea for my card, meaning the cards??  Well, I was so focused.....that I forgot the challenge this week was a SKETCH!!!  Well, thankfully it turned out relatively close to the sketch .....so I'm going to say that this design was 'inspired by' the awesome sketch!!  hehehe!


Now head on over to the KKS Challenge Blog and see who else has creations to share today featuring these amazing Alice in Wonderland stamps!  Then be sure to join us for tomorrow's Release Day and Krafty HOP when ALL the new stamps will be available at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!
