Saturday Challenge #396: Doilies - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Hello Y'all.... 
Did you know there's a Saturday Challenge #396: Doilies @ Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps?!

Have you joined the Kraftin' Kimmie's Krafty Friends fb group?? It's the best place to keep up with all the cool stuff going on as well as sharing YOUR creations and getting inspired by other Krafty Friends' creations!!!

Here are my two designs for the Challenge:
First: Christmas Wish

First I stamped this image/sentiment on Xpress-it paper with Momento Ink and colored it up with Copic Markers.  I chose a navy blue card base, added a white doily and then matted the colored image with a background I created with Bo Bunny Glitter paste.  Lastly, I added some red bling from Queen & Company and a metal ornament/candy cane for the final touches.

Here's the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp set I used:

Treat Yours-ELF

Second: Sending Squishy hugs!

I stamped this image/sentiment on Xpress-it paper with Momento Ink and colored it with Copic Markers.  I chose a pink card base, added a white doily and then matted the colored image on a background I created with Tim Holtz Oxide Inks.  After I added the matted/colored image, I added some flowers to fancy it up a bit :)

Here is the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp set I used:

Krafty Komeback - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Oooohhhh..... 

Did you know there's a Krafty Komeback at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps?  It's totally awesome... The amazing artist, Annie Rodrigue has revamped this fabulously spooky image and Kraftin' Kimmie changed up some sentiments, so even if you have the original from years ago, you'll want to grab the new one!

It's WITCHYPOO!

I started this one by stamping the image/sentiment on Xpress-it paper with Momento ink and colored her with Copic Markers.  I chose a black card base, added a background created with Tim Holtz Oxide Ink and placed Witchypoo on top of the background.  Lastly, I added a few bats with Nuvo drops as their eyes.

YES!! It's Witchypoo too!!!!

I stamped the image/sentiment again on Xpress-it paper with Momento Ink, colored her with Copic Markers and fussy cut Witchypoo out.  I chose another black card base, added a background created with Tim Holtz Oxide Inks and then matted the sentiment with black card stock.  Once I assembled it all together, I added some stars to bling it up.

You know this set is so AWESOME, I just had to color it up twice :)

Here's the full set: 

Witchypoo - Re-release

The Krafty Krew design team members and guests listed below have created some fabulous creations to inspire you so be sure to hop around and check it out in action! Then hop on over to the Krafty Shop  (HERE) because WITCHYPOO is NOW AVAILABLE!
