You can use any theme, style, design.......it's ANYTHING GOES, with a Kraftin' Kimmie image!

Sound fun? Of course it does. Remember to show off your Krafty designs over at the Kraftin' Kimmie blog. If you play along you have a chance to WIN a $10 Gift Certificate towards something fabulous in the shop!

I had a lot of fun with the UNDER THE SEA set. I used paper from Echo Park Summer Bliss and A Perfect Summer and embellished the card with natural twine (Recollection), cheese cloth, and sea shells (from my daughter's stash)!

To create dimension, I stamped my image twice. Using the Tim Holtz ink blending tool, I applied  distress ink on the background layer for my sky (salty ocean) and water (peacock feathers). For the top layer, I coloured the image with Copic markers then fussy cut and adhered it to the background layer using foam adhesive. To create the look of water, I applied a thin layer of Glossy Accents.

Inside the card I stamped two additional images and sentiments from the Under the Sea set.
