Your Next Stamp Sketch/Colour Challenge #43 (Coffee is the Boss)

Hello and welcome to another week of the Your Next Stamp sketch/colour challenge #43.

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

When using the colour inspiration, you must use at least 3 colours. You may also add neutrals

This week I used Coffee is the Boss and played around with the sketch. I like to use the sketches as a starting point and add my own little flare. This sketch has a great design for a nice clean and simple card. I have made a lot of those lately and today, I worked a few additional layers into my version of the sketch.

The fun paper is Creative Agenda from Echo Park. The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder. I added a few coffee splatters from the Coffee Rings stamp and decorated with the Love Me Some Latte Gumdrops

Inside the card I used the Java Geek stamp to decorate.

For the sketch/colour challenge # 43, you will have until Thursday July 21st (midnight EST) to play along. Head over to the Your Next Stamp blog for more inspiration and to link up your creation.

One random participant will win a $15 gift card to the YNS store. If you feature YNS products (it must be the main focus of your project), you will receive an additional $5. When you use a YNS stamp/die, there is a chance of being selected as the YNS top pick. The winner and top pick are announced on the YNS blog, the Sunday after the close of the challenge.

If you use YNS products on your project, you can also take part in the YNS Social Media challenge. Simply showcase your YNS sketch/colour challenge #43 project on Instagram, Splitcoast Stampers or Facebook. Check out the currently challenge post at the YNS blog for more details on the social media challenge.

It's that wonderful time of the month again! That's right Krafty peeps, it's the time that I get to show you some FAB-U-LOUS new images from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Today is DAY ONE of our November previews for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. This is an exciting release and I know you are going to LOVE what you see!

For our preview today, we are sharing with you the newest special edition stamp from the recent Krafty Day Krop in October. Each time there is a a special Krafty Krop event, Kimmie has a stamp created for the Krop participants to celebrate and remember the event. This year the stamp is called COLOUR MY WORLD featuring the darling Lexi from artist Cheryl Grant. There is also a fun matching tote with this image.

As part of today's Krafty Previews along with projects created with the Colour My World image, you will also see a few new and prior projects featuring past special edition stamps which include, the Krafty Stamper, Krafty Katastrophe and Best Friends.

Here is my card today featuring Krafty Girl Lexi as she plays with her Copic markers. I used paper from Echo Park called Creative Agenda (available in the shop). To create a Krafty look to my card I added splashes of pink mist on the background paper and white flowers and embellished with a fun pair of scissors.
