Kraftin’ Kimmie’s February Release Hop

Hi everyone!  Welcome to Kraftin’ Kimmie’s February release blog hop!  If you want to start from the beginning, just head over to the Kraftin’ Kimmie Challenge Blog.  As you hop from blog to blog, be sure to leave a comment at each and every stop because three lucky stampers will win packages of stamps from the new release!  And when you’re done hopping, be sure to head over to the Kraftin Kimmie store, because all the new images are available NOW! 

This month’s releases include four new fantastic Emmylou images from Crissy Armstrong, two adorable Cindy and Mindy images from Jean Grant, five new swashbluckling pirate images from Annie Rodrigue (Moonlight Whispers) and a new set of coordinating Pirate Sentiments.  And you’ll get to check out all the new stamps throughout the hop!! 

Gimme that Booty!

This is Alicia, the Strawberry Pirate.  She’s the first release of one of Annie’s original works of art.  And guess what?  Each and every order placed at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps from Sunday, February 14th to Monday, February 15th will be eligible to win a free 5″ x 7″ print of Alicia!  (You can see it here.)  So one random winner will be receiving this illustration in with her (or his) package!  Exciting?  I think so!

KKGTBCU2Once I had colored the image, I added dots of black glaze pen to the strawberries, her sword and dress.  If my daughter hadn’t “misplaced” my clear glaze pen, I would have added dots of that onto Alicia’s hair beads.  (Hopefully it will turn up soon.)

Your next stop along the hop is with our very sweet and talented DIANA.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
