June Krafty Hop!! It's Finally HERE!!!

You've finally reached the end of the Kraftin' Kimmie June Release Krafty Hop!! (Say that 10 times fast!) Wasn't it absolutely incredible?? Let me tell you, I'm always in awe of the talent these people possess!!

Now if you just happened upon my blog today, you can start the hop at the beginning over at the Challenge Blog...and be sure to leave a comment at each and every stop so that you are in the running to win some new rubber goodness!

If you've been through the whole hop, then I'm your last stop!!



My card features the adorable Tubing Miles designed by our newest artist, Steven Leary! I'm so excited to introduce him to you! Miles is having a ball getting ready to get in the water! He's perfect for a quick summer greeting card or as an accent to your summer scrapbook pages.

I stamped him on Neenah using Memento ink and coloured him with my Copics. The patterned paper I used is some retired SU paper and I thought it looked like fun beach colours! I sponged the main image using some tangerine chalk ink while it was still in the Nestie to give it a fun glow.



I used a new EK Success border punch which kinda looks like bubbles, right?! Then I added some blue satin ribbon and attached a button with some linen thread. Lastly I used a fun sentiment from the Mermaids sentiment set!!

The new Miles the Mouse stamps and the Summer Mermaid Kit are all available NOW over at the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop!!

Happy kraftin'!!
