Kraftin Kimmie Stamp 2000+ Celebration

 

It's party time!

That's right, today we are celebrating over at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS. Why?

Did you know that the FABULOUS Miss Kimmie is celebrating a birthday soon? In addition to her birthday, we are also celebrating reaching over 2000+ Krafty Friends at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Krafty Friends Facebook group.

We are celebrating this weekend with a FUN on-line KROP. Through out the day, some of the Krafty Girls will be posting challenges for you to enjoy. Each challenge includes a sketch plus and extra theme or element that we would like to see you try. Use both the sketch and the bonus, and you will have TWO chances to WIN. You MUST use at least the sketch for each challenge. There is Krafty Ka$h for you to win. You have all week to play along with these challenges, so grab your stamps and let's get inky!

I am kicking things off with the FIRST sketch challenge of the day! I love my layers so, of course my sketch allows for lots of those. Sketches are a source of inspiration....a start off point for you to work with. You can stick with the sketch exactly as is, or play around and add your personal touch, as long as the basic sketch layout can be seen.

BONUS CHALLENGE: Distressing!

I created a Valentine's card using the Moonlight Whispers image ROCKER CHICK!

I love distressing and you can achieve that worn and rough look from inking the edges of your paper, my favourite distress ink colour is Vintage photo.

For the frayed look on your paper you can use a distress tool, sand paper, scissors or your finger nails. Each tool gives a slightly different look and level of distress.

Finally, one of my go to distress looks, is ripping portions of my paper. I love to create rips, tears and folded edges to reveal fun embellishments or show a peek of coordinating pattern paper.

For my card today, I incorporated all three types of distressing.

Inside my card I used a sentiment from the It's a Beautiful day stamp set (by Cheryl Grant) and added a heart from the Candy Heart set (which, while supplies last, is one set available FREE when you spend $50+ on your KKS purchase this weekend. The other set available is Love Birds).

Of course the celebration weekend would not be complete with our a ROCKIN' sale.
