Kraftin' Kimmie Wonderful Wednesday - July 20th {Buds and Blooms}

Hello and happy Wednesday friends!

I'm back again today with a card to share

with you for the newest Wonderful Wednesday

challenge at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE Challenges.

The theme, as it always is on Wednesday, is

ANYTHING GOES!   Yahoo!!

My card today uses some water coloring 

and velum flowers - take a look: 

I started by water coloring with distress inks on my 

die cut panel and then stamping the little dots randomly

around the panel and adding a bit more water color. 

Then I stamped and embossed the flowers and leaves 

in white from Buds and Blooms and colored the back

side of them with my copic markers before fussy-cutting them.  

I was going for a soft effect but if you wanted more of a stained 

glass type look you would want to go with your darkest 

marker in the color family as the vellum really lightens 

up the colors when done this way.  I think I used V25  

on my flowers and G24 on the leaves.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
Crafting from the Heart Challenge #121 - Anything Goes

Will you join us this week?  I sure hope so! 

Thanks for stopping in to visit me today.

Enjoy the rest of your week!  Hugs D

Kraftin' Kimmie Wonderful Wednesday Challenge - Mermaid Friends & Oceans of Love

Happy Wednesday crafty friends and followers!

I'm not sure if I think this week is going by slowly or too fast.

 Too fast for all the crafty projects I want to get done

and too slow for the weekend to be here - LOL.

But here's the best news about today...it's time

for another fun Wonderful Wednesday challenge

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE!!  

The theme as it always is for the Wednesday challenges

is ANYTHING GOES!  Who doesn't like that right?!

You can make any type of project with any theme 

and use any stamp or crafty medium you wish.

Just have fun with it and share it with us for an 

opportunity to win some Krafty $ to spend in the 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps store - whoo hoo!!

My card today uses one of the brand newest 

stamps from the beautiful MERMAID FRIENDS

and a sentiment from OCEANS OF LOVE (currently

sold out but will be back soon) - take a look:

I've been seeing the use of vellum a lot lately so I thought

I'd pull some out of my stash and play with it at bit

Those waves are actually the puffy cloud border dies from

Your Next Stamp.  I think it turned out kind of fun ;o).

I used the sketch from MOJO Monday #449 this week

(as you can see I flipped the orientation of it though)

for the layout.  I also wanted to play along with 

the current challenge at 613 Avenue Create #177

which is Anything Goes w/optional twist of  

Create your Own Challenge Series.  I used

the A2 Card type, Thinking of you as the event, and 

gold/metallic and sequins for the trends part of the challenge.

I would also like to enter this in these challenges too:

Chocolate, Coffee and Cards Challenges #109 - Just Us Girls 

{PIN}spirational Challenges #166 - Anything goes

Hope you will consider joining us this week at KKS.

There are some more lovely creations from my 

sweet and talented Krafty Girls teammates -

So that's it for me today. I'm sure glad you stopped 

in to visit me!  Hope your Wednesday is great and it

goes by as fast or as slow as you like it to :o)

Til next time...krafty hugs! D
