Beary Love in Blue

Hello friends!
Popping in to share my newest card with you
for the current Anything Goes Challenge
at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps
(All products used are from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps).

I made the background using a stencil first
(Beautiful Burlap) with a dollar store makeup
brush and Sparkling Sapphire hybrid ink.
Next I used my Stamping platform to make the
repeating heart pattern on top of the stenciled pattern.
First I used a medium sized heart from
Hearts and Stars! In Bubbly Blue ink.
Then I used a smaller heart and this time
used Sparkling Sapphire ink - again in a
repeating pattern. I colored one of the
adorable bear images from Beary Love
In a coordinating shade of blue for a
monochromatic effect. It might be difficult
to see but I stamped the image in the blue ink
too. Kraftin’ Kimmie hybrid inks are so fantastic
for all coloring mediums without bleeding!
Lastly the sentiment from Love Story Sentiments
Was also stamped on the Sparkling Sapphire ink
And cut in a flagged shape.
I really love how it turned out!
Take a look:

I’m entering the following challenges:

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #495 - Layers

Hello!  Hope you're having a fantastic day!

I'm happy you are here because it's the start of 

another fun challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges. 

The theme for this weeks Challenge #495 is LAYERS.

I love layers - the more the better as far as I'm concerned. 

I pulled out some of my favorite Doodlebug patterned papers and
stamped one of the adorable bears from the fun NEW stamp
set called BEARY LOVE in  KKS Marvellous Mocha ink
which is fantastic for a little lighter outline to color in
(the sentiment is from a retired KKS set).
Then I added lots of layers with colored cardstock.
Viola! Hope you like it!

I'm also entering this card in the following challenges:
Crafting With Friends Challenge #78 - anything goes
Creative Fingers Challenge blog challenge #156 - anything goes

bear was stamped using KKS Marvellous Mocha hybrid ink.

I created a strip of grass also using the mossy meadow

hybrid ink and the Sweater Weather stencil.  All the
KKS hybrid inks are available in both a full size pad & mini cubes.
They blend so beautifully and work with all coloring mediums!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps January 2019 NEW Release DAY TWO - Beary Love

Welcome back for DAY TWO of the sneak peeks

for the fantastic NEW RELEASE at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Today is all about some sweet cuddly love with  

this new clear stamp set called BEARY LOVE by

artist Melissa Baker-Nguyen! And....we also
have some other new goodies you might notice!

I created a one layer Valentine card to share with you today.

Those pretty pink hearts are made with the brand spanking NEW 

(and absolutely wonderful) HAPPY HEARTS STENCIL for the background 

panel.  I stamped the sweet little bear with KKS wicked black

hybrid ink (so perfect for all coloring mediums and it's available

in both a regular ink pad and a mini cube) and then masked around
it with a die cut circle before I inked up the background. That beautiful
color of the hearts is from the NEW KKS "PRETTY IN PINK" hybrid ink.  

I finished the card by coloring the image with copic markers.  

A very quick and fun card! Stencils are so awesome to create with!

Oh and did you notice those pretty enamel dots?!

These are also NEW to KKS - EEEeeeee!  

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:
