Oldie but Goodie

Hey there Kraftin' Kimmie Fans!! It's time for another weekly challenge, and I'm your hostess this week. ;)  My challenge is "Oldie but Goodie". I often get so busy playing with my newest stamps, that some of my older ones go un-inked for ages. Poor stamps. So I thought it would be fun to pull out some of your well-loved older stamps and show them a little love! You could also dig through your krafty stashes and find some oldie but goodie embellishments to go along with the challenges as well!

I ADORE mermaids, so I pulled out one of my favourite Kraftin' Kimmie mermaids, Marina. Isn't she gorgeous?! I stamped her with Memento Desert Sand to create the "no lines" look. She was coloured with Copics, cut out with Spellbinders Circles and matted with Spellbinders Lacey Circles. It's been a while since I pulled out my sewing machine to add stitching to a card...I forgot how much I love the look of it! The paper is from an older Authentique pad. (click HERE to see the great selection of paper pads at the KKS shop) I added a double bow, a little starfish charm, pearl sprays, a few additional flat backed pearls and some Stardust Stickles to finish it off.
