I am excited to be the hostess of today’s Kraftin’ Kimmie Challenge. It’s an easy one. All you have to do is use “manly colors”. Because I used the new image “Curtis”, which will be available starting tomorrow, you will be able to win the image when you participate in the challenge.
I stamped the image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on X-Press It! Blending card and colored him with Copic Markers (Overall: B91, B93, B95, B97, Shirt: YG91, YG93, YG95, Shoes: N4, N6, N8, Skin: E00, E02. E11, Hair: E99, E18, E19, Fish: YG01, YG03, YG25, YG17, BG01, BG02, Y38, E97, E99, Ground: E70, E71, E74).
The image was cut and embossed with the inner part of Spellbinders Classic Frame. The image was airbrushed with Copic Marker B91 and layered on a black piece of cardstock cut and embossed with a Classic Rectangle Nestabilities die.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Kraft cardstock folded in half. A 3″ x 3 1/2″ piece of Nottinghill 7Gypsies paper was adhered to a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of paper from the same paper pack. The layers were stitched to a 1/4″ bigger piece of white cardstock and then adhered to the card base.
The sentiment is from Kimmie’s Beachy Sentiments. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Solar White Neenah cardstock that had been cut and embossed with Petite Oval Nestabilities. It was airbrushed with Copic Marker B91. A jump ring was attached to the right hand side of the sentiment panel to make it look like the sentiment is on Curtis fishing rod hook and adhered to the image.
Lately I have been lazy and not decorating my cards. That just feels wrong somehow, like the card is not finished. For this one I finally got over my laziness and added a bit more paper stitched to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of white cardstock.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day! Hugs and smiles
