September Release Blog Hop at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!

Welcome to the release day Blog Hop at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! I hope you have enjoyed all the previews over the last few days...I know we all had so much fun colouring up these new images! This new release includes five gorgeous and slightly sassy ladies from the pen of artist Annie Rodrigue(each gal comes with a co-ordinating sentiment). Steven Leary has been a busy artist too, creating several brand new images...Miles and the gang are getting ready for fall as well as celebrating birthdays...Mouse-Style!

As always, Kimmie has an amazing blog hop planned today to celebrate the official release of these new September stamps. Not only will you be visiting each of the Krafty Girls, but also participating today are both Kimmie's artists, some of our Junior Krafty Girls, the September Krafty Guests as well as a few other very talented guests! What a line-up!

Ok...let's go over the rules. The hop begins over at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge Blog, so make sure to start over there where you will find the hop list to help keep you on track. Along the way, make sure to leave comments at each and every blog because some lucky folks will win some packages of the new September stamps!

Let's get this party started!! You should have arrived here from the Challenge Blog, as this is the second stop on the hop!

I'd like to introduce you to "Raychel", one of the gorgeous new ladies illustrated by Annie Rodrigue. I just love her pose...what movie was that where the girl knew the kiss meant true love if her foot kicked up?? Well, Raychel certainly has her pretty eyes set on some special guy...love is in the air folks! The papers used on this card are all from the Basic Grey Olivia collection. The "X and O's" print is absolutely perfect for Raychel, and for the "Hugs and Kisses" sentiment that comes with her. I love it when you find the perfect paper for an image...it just makes the whole project come together so well.




Raychel was stamped on Neenah cardstock and coloured with Copic markers. I glammed up her gloves, belt and shoes with some Stardust Stickles. Although it doesn't show up in the picture, I added a little Smooch Illuminate to her lips for some subtle sparkle...well, and I couldn't resist using a product called "Smooch" on those puckered lips!!



Copics: Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20 Hair: E31, E33, E35, E37, E50, E59 Dress: RV000, R81, R83, R85, R89 Gloves/Belt: G20, G83, G85, G99

When you are finished hopping, make sure to stop by the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps online store because all these fantastic new images are now available for purchase!! Oh, and remember the "Gimmie Kimmie's" kits last month? Well, they were such a bit hit that Kimmie is offering them again this month. So, if you want the entire set of new September stamps then just click on the "Gimmie Kimmie's" option and you will be able to purchase them all at a discounted price!

Remember that if at any time you get lost, just head on back to the Challenge Blog for the complete list of blogs...and don't forget to be leaving those comments along the way!

Ok, off you go to visit the very talented artist who brings us the Miles the Mouse stamps...Steven Leary!

Melanie
