Birthday Girl

KKS Bday Girl

Hey everyone! Back today with a wonderful card using Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps Birthday Girl. I made this card for the Wonderful Wednesday Challenge, which is always anything goes. I even used the sketch for this month, you can find that sketch through the link for this weeks challenge.

KKS Bday girl 2

 

I coloured this image up with my copics and used a fun technique where I selectively die cut the image into a circle allowing the balloon to continue outside of the circle. Layered patterned paper, trim and flowers finish the card off.

No pink… or blue?!?!

KKS no pink or blue

Oh boy, this was a tough one. Fridays challenge for Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps was a birthday card with no pink or blue! I really didn’t think this challenge would be as hard as it was. I coloured up the Alice in Wonderland stamp, with my copics… then realized she wears blue. No problem I made her dress purple and her hair a darker brown instead of blond.

KKS no pink or blue

 

I then went to my crafting table to realize, I really had no purple paper that worked well with the image. Okay so what other colour can I use… something out of the books perhaps. Red! Yes that’s it. Then realized I have no red flowers, haha, but lots of paper laters and a bit of burlap and I am pretty happy with this card.
