Kimmie Challenge #79

Hello Crafty Friends!
Abby here. Well, after another fun filled weekend of crafting with my mom, I have some cards to show you!

Not as many as usual. I got to go to the races with my husband and his parents yesterday. The first time I have ever bet on horse races! Sadly, I still have to go to work this week, I didn't hit it big, beginner's luck notwithstanding. I did get to bet on the Preakness, however, which was pretty cool!  All that to say, I had one day less than usual to craft, so here is what I have gotten done today:

For the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge number 79-Text me!

I started with a SU certainly celery card base.  I then took some scrap cream colored cardstock and stamped all over it with the SU "define your life" stamps to satisfy the text requirement. I added some green ribbon, and a stamped and colored "Isabelle" image.  I just LOVE this fairy kit, don't you? The "wish" sentiment came with a different fairy, also Kraftin' Kimmie. On the inside is the SU "wish" definition stamp.  I really liked the copic coloring on her hair, I've been working really hard at getting better at coloring.

My next card is for the Gina K Designs "Mix it up Monday" focus on flowers! I used the "black magic stamping" technique for this card. See the tutorial HERE on SCS. It is very simple, but effective.

I definately looks like I had a few too many drinks when I stamped that sentiment, as it leans to the side a bit. Oh well I guess. The stamps are all from the "Just believe" SU stamp set.  The cardstock is all scraps from my mom's box.
My next card is for the Gina K Designs "Free for all Friday" challenge-Get Krafty! ...sounds familiar right?

I started this card with a Kraft base, and the focal image is actually a stamp.  I just LOVE Leonardo da Vinci, so I just HAD to have this stamp.  Although it is a father's day card, I certainly won't be giving it to my dad, because I know the first thing he would say is "You're giving me a card with a naked man on it?" lol.  And who could blame him? I just liked the image and needed a father's day card, so here it is. haha. Anyways, this one is pretty self explanatory.  I did cut off the right most 1.5" of the front flap to add a little bit of interest. The "world" stamp is from SU-The Open Sea.

One more card-and that is for the CPS sketch. Here is the sketch:

...and here is my card...

This is a image I had already colored up from earlier this week.  I know it looks like Halloween, but I do love that color combo any time of the year.  Plus, I would be happy if it were fall year round! It's a little hard to see but the 2nd black layer is cuttlebugged with a circlely dot embossing folder thingy. I don't know what it's called.  Obviously. 

Well, hope you all enjoyed looking at my cards.  I sure did enjoy making them. See everyone back here next weekend!
