Seeing Red

Hi everyone.  🙂   It’s Krafty Saturday which means it’s time for a challenge with Kraftin Kimmie.  Remember that the contest for our April Guest Designer begins with this week’s challenge.  You can find all the details HERE on the Krafty Blog.

This week Tracy has challenged us with using red.  Eek!  You know my fear of red.  I think my problem is that I just don’t have many red markers.  And, of course, I need a range of cool red, warm red, plain ol’ red…. Must go shopping soon!  hee, hee.

Aw Nuts!

For my card today, I used Andrea Acorn from Kimmie’s latest release.    I used part of her coordinating sentiment on the front…

…and the remainder on the inside.  Down in the corner, I stamped the little acorn which comes along with the image and sentiment.

On the acorn leaves, I added a bit of sparkle using a Buttermilk Spica glitter pen (my favorite).  I used it on the leaves on the front as well but was unable to get a photo of those.

To see more samples of this week’s challenge, head on over to the Krafty Blog.  And if you decide to play along this week, be sure to post a link to your creation (on the Krafty Blog) for your chance to win a free stamp from Kraftin Kimmie! 

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