Kraftin Kimmie Fancy Flamingos

Hello there friends!!! It's time for another Wonderful Wednesday over at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps!  

Today I am sharing a card I made using the new Fancy Flamingos stamp set!!!  I ADORE Flamingos and this set is full of FUN!

I created my card using some Doodlebug goodies; washi tape and shaped sprinkles.  I then used the flower accent piece stamping randomly between the tape, added my sentiment, hit it with the clear gloss pen and then mounted my image on some Melon Mambo paper after coloring with Copics.

SUPER fun right??? !!!!!  Don't forget, the Gimmie Kimmie Kits are still available... grab all of the latest released sets at a DI$COUNT!!!! 

OK so come and have some fun with us!!!  It's the last WW for June.... YEP!  6 months until Christmas!  LOL

Kraftin Kimmie Wonderful Wednesday

Well HELLO Krafty Friends!!!!  It's time for a Wonderful Wednesday challenge over at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps!

Today I used the newly released At The Beach stamp set!  

Watercolor is all the rage right now and I have not quite mastered my patience on it, so I cheated and used my watercolor background stamp from Stampin Up along with my SU Markers and a water spritzer.  Colored the stamp with markers, spritzed with water and then stamped.  I then took the At The Beach stamp set and inked it up in Memento Tuxedo Black and stamped it over the top.  I took one word from the sentiment Sand! Surf! Sun! colored it with my marker and stamped it onto a wooden piece from my stash.  Clean, Simple and Beautiful! 

Make sure you play along and link up to our Challenge!   Don't forget the JUNE GIMMIE KIMMIE KIT is still going on and Kimmie has been slipping little goodies into orders as  a SURPRISE!!!!!! 

That's it for me!!!!  

Take care and LOVE ONE ANOTHER!!!!!
