Your Next Stamps Sketch Colour/Challenge # 37 (Happy Meal)

Hello and welcome to another week of the Your Next Stamp Sketch/Colour Challenge # 37

Every two weeks there is a new challenge that features a sketch and colour inspiration. Pick the one that inspires you most, or try to use both for an added challenge. The best part of these challenges, is that you may WIN a gift certificate to the YNS store!

When using the colour inspiration, be sure to use at least 3 colours. You may also add neutrals.

I had fun with the colour inspiration inking up the soda (pop) bottles from the Happy Meal set. The bottle were fussy cut and the labels were created from stamping the bottle image on the pattern paper. Quick and easy!

To get my cola, I used some of my favourite Copic Browns E49, 47, 44, and a little bit of 43.

Here is a look at the inside of the card.

For the sketch/colour challenge #37, you have until Thursday April 28th (midnight EST) to play along. Head over to the Your Next Stamp blog for more inspiration and to link up your own creation.

One random participant will WIN at $15 gift card to the YNS store. If you feature a YNS stamp or die (it must be the main focus), you will receive an additional $5. When you use a YNS image/die, there is also a chance of being selected as the YNS Top Pick! The winner and "top pick" are announced on the Your Next Stamp blog, the Sunday following the close of the challenge.

Thank you for stopping in and have a fabulous and crafty day!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Wonderful Wednesday (Tabitha)

Hello everyone. Welcome to another WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY challenge at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS.

The weekly Wonderful Wednesday challenges are always ANYTHING GOES. We want to encourage everyone to play along, so all stamps are welcome for these challenges. However, since we do love seeing people creating with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, if you use one on your project, there is an extra chance to win!

Create a NEW card, layout or altered item and share with use over at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog or in the KKS Krafty Friends Facebook group (here).

There is a Wonderful Wednesday Challenge each week (except release week). At the end of each month a random participant will be selected and win Krafty $ to spend in the KKS store.

This week, I inked up TABITHA for a clean and simple card.

For my background, I played around with Distress Ink using Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge and Black Soot. My sentiment is heat embossed, inking with Versa Fine Onyx black and adding clear embossing powder. I also used Perfect Pearl mist for the added water spots.

The image was stamped, coloured and fussy cut before adding it to the card background.

Here is a look inside of the card.

Thanks for stopping by today. Head over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog for more details on the Wonderful Wednesday Challenge. You will also see more inspiration from the Design Team.

You can play along with this week's challenge until February 23 (midnight EST).

Have a fabulous day!
