Mid-Month Inspiration for Challenge #668 - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

  Good morning and welcome to our  

Monthly Saturday Challenge Mid Inspiration Post

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are back today with an inspirational post showcasing more ideas to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing!

We can't wait to see what you create!

This month the challenge themes for you are: 

GLITTER/FOIL, FLOWERS and/or PURPLE!

You can choose any or all - whatever inspires you!

Our Ink Of The Month, which will be on sale all month long, just happens to be a lovely shade of PURPLE!! This month features the gorgeous Alluring Amethyst Ink Pad, Cube and Reinker!!  Grab it now to add to your collection.

In keeping with the themes this month, I chose 

the color purple and the Glitter/Foil options.  

That lovely Alluring Amethyst is such a 

great purple and so perfect for creating

a background for a gorgeous mermaid.

To create this background I used

the Mermaid Scales stencil with

Ocean Opulence, Tranquil Teal

and Alluring Amethyst KKS inks.

Then I used some deco foil gel

and spread it just in a few areas 

so I could use some purple foil. 

Of course I couldn't forget to add

some glitter on the mermaid and around

the edges of the card and sentiment. 

I'm so pleased with how it turned it!

Here's a closer look 

The mermaid and sentiment are both 

from the You Are Mer-Mazing! stamp set.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps May Release Peeks Day THREE! Deep Sea Palace!

  Today is our third day of Krafty Peeks for the May Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we are 'peeking' another fabulous set 

from artist Sabrina van Vloten

 and it's called.....DEEP SEA PALACE!

This set features a fabulous palace focal image with an awesome friendship sentiment! It will also coordinate with those fabulous ocean sea creatures we saw yesterday in LIFE IS THE BUBBLES! How fun!! 

I really loved making this card! Not only is there this really awesome image (which was super fun to color), there's some added pearls and an oyster (thanks to some liquid pearls), some sparkle around the edges (Stickles glitter glue) and a gorgeous foiled background made with the Lots of Dots Stencil. I wish you could see the sparkle and glimmer in real life (the fish are even shimmery)- it's so pretty!!

Oh! and I used that gorgeous versatile Designer Denim ink on the sentiment. It's definitely one of my new favorite blues!

I'm sharing this card also in a couple great challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - Stencil It!

Use Your Stuff Challenge - #422 Stencils on a Project
