It's a Shore Thing....

Wow, it's the middle of the month already, but you still have plenty of time to create a Krafty project for One Crazy Stamper's challenge theme.  For the month of July we are asking you to get "KRAFTY" and use kraft cardstock, the color kraft, kraft embellishments - the list is endless of what you can use to enter to win a fabulous prize of four High Hopes Stamps.  For full details click here to be taken to the One Crazy Stamper challenge blog.

 

My card this week started with a base of kraft cardstock then a layer of dp from Bo Bunny's Key Lime collection.  I then used a couple of colors of torn Tim Holtz Kraft Core cardstock to add some layers.  On the top strip of kraft core cardstock, I placed an older Spellbinders Impressibilites template, then used Tsukineko VersaMark ink and Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powder to bring out the design of the Impressibility.  The image "The Little Captain" from Whimsy Stamps was colored with Copics, then matted with more kraft cardstock.



Happy Birthday Canada!!!

Happy Canada Day to all of my fellow Canadians, and welcome to a new month for the One Crazy Stamper challenges.  This month we want to see your projects using Kraft, this can be kraft paper or the color kraft, or a combination of both, the choice is yours.  You have all month to get creative and enter the challenge to win a fabulous set of stamps.

 

I've had this image colored for some time now, and it even survived the move as just a colored image, so it was finally time to make a card.  This is Flowers for You from Whimsy Stamp artist Crissy Armstrong.  I knew what paper I wanted to use, so it was easy to combine that with kraft cardstock and kraft colored accessories  ( and it seemed to be fate that made me color his sweater in the brown kraft tones ).  The image was colored with Copics, then matted with kraft paper and designer paper from Authentique's Hope collection.  I pulled twine and buttons from my stash, and stamped the sentiment on a scrap of kraft cardstock.
