Embossing Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Welcome to another Krafty Challenge!

This week our theme is: EMBOSSING!

Incorporate this element into any project featuring a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp and enter our challenge for your chance to win! Each submission during November will enter you into the monthly prize draw for a $40 gift voucher to spend in the krafty shop.

Speaking of shopping, Kimmie has an amazing sale this weekend!!

My project this week this week features one of the adorable PERKY PENGUINS! I stamped the penguin in our Totally Taupe ink and watercoloured the scene. I also added a sentiment from HOLLY JOLLY ORNAMENTS stamped in Wicked Black ink. The background panel of my tag was also done in watercolour paints, cut out with a spellbinders die and embossed with a snowflake folder. I then rubbed a bit of white acrylic paint over the embossed snowflakes to highlight the design.

Hope you plan to play along! Here's the hop list for a little inspiration:

Inspirational Wednesday - Treat Yours-elf

Good Morning and welcome to another Inspirational Wednesday post for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

This week I'm sharing a fun Christmas card featuring our clear stamp set TREAT YOURS-ELF; this set comes with two fun little holiday helpers and several coordinating sentiments. I pulled out my watercolours (combination of Daniel Smith, M Graham, Qor and Winsor and Newton) to paint the sweet little girl elf . I stamped the sentiment in our Marvelous Mocha ink.

As an added bonus Kimmie has put the 

TREAT YOURS-ELF stamp set on SALE... be sure to scoop it up today at 40% off!

Oh...almost forgot to mention that it's release week! Stay tuned for the sneak peeks! (If you saw pics from our Krafty retreat last weekend, you may have spotted some of the new stamps and products!)

Hope you all have a creative week!
