Kraftin Kimmie – A Hoppin’ Around

Hi everyone!  Today Kraftin Kimmie Stamps is releasing their new April images and they are beachy keen!!!  Annie Rodrigue is making us think of sun and sand this month!  As you may have seen over the last few days with our krafty peeks, we have a group of fantastic vintage bathing beauties having fun at the beach!  Also we’ve got another one of Annie’s incredible paintings made into a stamp with Perfect Poison!!  You’ll get to check out all the new stamps throughout our fabulous blog hop today!! 

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 some 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 now available! Also, each order placed on Sunday, May 16th and Monday, May 17th is eligible to be entered into a drawing to win a 5×7 print featuring Annie’s original painting, Perfect Poison!!

You Brighten My Day

Here I’ve used Florence…and some really bright colors which I normally do not use.  I like them though.  🙂

KKYBMDCUI stamped her onto cream cardstock, colored with Copics and then cut her out and adhered her over my assembled panel. 

I used a Fiskars “wave” texture plate on the blue cardstock then sponged over with vanilla craft ink to help the “waves” stand out a bit. 

I also placed pop dots beneath the sign and Florence’s head to a add little more dimension.

Your next stop along the hop is with TARA and her daughter HANNAH!   (What a fab team!)

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!  And happy hopping!  🙂
