If you are landing here from the wonderful Michele's blog, then you are in the right place. Actually my blog is the end of our tour today! So let me share my two creations with you!!



First I have used the adventurer Emelia from the Steampunk line of images from the terrifically talented Annie Rodrigue! Isn't she awesome?? I pulled out some colourful papers by Basic Grey and coloured her in accordingly with my Copic markers. The colours I used are: E000, E00, R20, BG10, BG11, E53, E55, E44, B37, G20, G21, G82, G85, YR09 and W00.



Al the cardstock is SU and the rest of the papers are Basic Grey. I used a fun border punch on the Chocolate Chip layer and added some striped twill across the middle. I used some Basic Grey brads and a button tied on with twine. I also stamped the airplane accessory stamp that comes with Emelia, coloured it up, cut it out and pop dotted it. Finally, I stamped the Just Plane Fun sentiment from the Steampunk Sentiments set that was created by my sassy pal, Jeanne Streiff! This set of phrases is so much fun and was made specifically to coordinate with the new images!!



My second card is a very girlie card....just like me! These images are by the wonderful Jean Grant!! I stamped the new Dance Recital image with Cindy and her teddy bear Mindy on Neenah white using Memento ink and coloured them in lots of pinks!! I used: E00, E43, E44, R81, R83, R85, G20 and C00.

The card base is Chocolate Chip and the patterned papers where out of my stash....and they use my fave colour combo by the way, pink and brown! I'm not sure of the brand of papers...maybe MME? Anyhoo, I used a scalloped border punch on the brown polka dot strip and I distressed the edges of some of the layers with my distressing tool. I used Pretty in Pink and Pink Pirouette to mat the main layer and pop dotted it.



I dressed up the card by adding some satin and sheer pink ribbon and a little bling at the bottom. The sentiment I used is actually the bonus sentiment stamp that comes with Dance Recital. I then added the final sparkly details with my clear Spica pen.

Well, that's it! That's the end of the hop! Now ALL 12 of the new images and both sets of new sentiments are up on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps website! And be sure to read the homepage as there are some Customer Special details that you don't want to miss out on!

Have a Krafty day!!!
