Hi everyone!

This is challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is my last DT work.

I decided to quit with DT stuff and use my time for my own business.

I don't know yet if I'll go along with blogging, maybe, I can't promise...

Thank you for the past years, I'm so thankfull for the opportunity!

So, the challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps this week is Magic/Fantasy. I decided to play with the Fairy Loved stampset by artist Emilie. Love this stampset!

OCEANS OF LOVE!

I've used the new Mermaid Melody ink to sponge this background with this wavy stencil. I think it's the perfect blue for this kind of things.

The octopus and the whale are first coloured with my Copic markers, but I wasn't happy with the results, so I added some pencil above them. I'm esspecially happy with the whale now.

Ahoy Matey

Hi everyone,

I forgot to post this card here, but here's my last work as guest designer for Stamp Anniething.

Here's a card with Julie - Ahoy Matey.

The background is sponged using Distress oxide and the sentiment is stamped on black cardstock and embossed with white embossing powder.

I also used some Nuvo drops.

Exciting!!!!

Hi everyone!

We've got some super exciting NEWS to share with you today!

You may have heard that we've been working on something top secret for the last few months and it's FINALLY time that we can share it with everyone!!!

Today we are introducing you to.....

Krafty Kolours Inks by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps!

We are thrilled to introduce a brand new product to the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps line…..KRAFTY KOLOURS INKS!

These new inks are a Hybrid ink that combines the best of both dye ink and pigment ink!

- These beauties are acid free, archival and non-fading!

- This ink dries almost instantly on paper and non-porous surfaces and requires a heat set on glossy surfaces and fabric

- They have a raised felt pad that let you stamp any size stamp!

- They give a crisp, bright, non-bleeding impression!

- They come in full sized pads, mini cubes and ink refills!

With these inks you can ink directly, sponge, stencil, watercolour, you can do all sorts of techniques with them AND most exciting….the Krafty Kolours Inks are safe to use with pencils AND alcohol based markers!!

Today we are having a big Launch Party over on the Krafty Friends Facebook page with the Krafty Girls and Special Krafty Guests sharing information about the new products, sharing tons of new projects, live videos, youtube videos, we're doing giveaways, challenges and lots more!!

And ofcourse I made a inky card with them!

I've stamped on a acrylpad with the pik ink and sprayed some water on it, then I rubbed it over the watercolouringpaper and dried it with my heatgun.

I've repeated the process with the purple ink.

And again with the blue ink.

And here's the final result:

I've stamped the flowers from the stampset Buds & Blooms stampset on another piece of watercolouring paper and cut it out with 1mm white space. Glued it all together and added some foamdots.

The sentiment is by the beautiful stampset Kick Assy Bday.

You'll be able to purchase all the large ink pads, mini cubes and refills individually OR in sets at a small discount! PLUS there are TWO brand NEW stamp sets that are from the May release and will ONLY be released as part of the special kits!

ALSO I've chosen some amazing coordinating Bazzill Bling cardstocks to match the coloured inks and you'll be able to scoop those up as well!! SO exciting!

So be sure to pop into the group today or hang out with us for all the fun all day long!! Let's get INKY!!!
