FRIDAY... TOWNSCRAPPER CHALLENGE!

Good Friday Evening All!

I hope you had a good week and I wish you an even better WEEKEND.  It is my pleasure to share with you the theme of this week's TOWNSCRAPPER CHALLENGE.  KIM, the TOWNSCRAPPER DT COORDINATOR has designed a spectacular sketch for the challenge this week.  I don't know about you, but when my creative juices are stagnant, a good sketch can do wonders to get me back on track.  Here is a peek at KIM'S ultra-inspiring sketch.

Don't forget that one lucky challenge participant will be randomly chosen to receive this week's PRIZE....LILITH, A CUTE KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMP!!!

Tonight I'd like to share a card I made for my niece.  She is graduating this year and heading-off to highschool in September.  Boy, the older I get, the faster time flies!  I used an adorable Hanna stamp, a stamp company that has closed it's doors, I believe. :(  Here she is....

Card Details:

Hanna was stamped with StazOn Jet Black and painted using Nicholson's Peerless Transparent Watercolour Sheets.  A lot of Diamond Stickles was added to create some serious glitter.  The mortarboard was stamped with Dew Drop Brilliance Pearlescent Ivy.  The sentiment was inked-up with VersaFine Onyx Black.

Good Thursday Afternoon!

Today, I thought I'd post a card I made for a special occasion in my littlest one's life.  I fell in love with this image by Tina Wenke (Stampavie) when I first laid eyes on it.  I picked-up this adorable stamp at the TownScrapper. 

Phebe, owner of The TownScrapper, carries Stampavie as well as a wide assortment of unique stamps and wonderful supplies for all of one's crafting needs.  Check out all the details of  her AMAZING current sale HERE.

A CARD FOR MOM

I have a little time before I begin to make dinner to post this card I made for my Mom last month.  I've used one of several Hanna stamps that I own.  There were so many adorable images created by this company.  It is my understanding that Hanna stamps are no longer available. :(

Without further ado, here is the card....

  I stamped Hanna on Neenah cardstock with StazOn Jet Black ink and coloured her with Prisma pencils and odourless mineral spirits.  The patterned design papers are October Afternoon.  The Paper Studio made the pink ribbon bow on Hanna's dress.  Flowers are products of Prima.  The brads are We R Memory Keepers and SEI.

Gotta run... ;)
