Kraftin' Kimmie May Sneak Peeks...Round One!

May is just flying by! Can you believe it's already the middle of the month?? This is always a crazy month for us jam packed with birthdays, anniversaries, ballet recitals, Highland dancing performances and school plays! Speaking of birthdays, my son just celebrated his 17th (yes you read that right!) birthday on Monday!! I can hardly believe he's that old...partially because it means I'm getting older too. We'll be going to see Nathan's high school performance of the musical"Thoroughly Modern Millie" this weekend(hee hee...sadly there is no "Troy" or "Gabriella"!) . He's had rehearsals all this week. His girlfriend, Breanne, has one of the lead roles. We're quite excited to see the two of them singing and dancing up there! (I'll try to sneak a few photos!)

I always get so excited for the monthly release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! This month is no exception...we have some amazing new stamps to show you! As always, the Krafty Girls will be having previews for the next three days (including during our weekly Challenge this Saturday), followed by a fun BLOG HOP on Sunday when the stamps will be available for purchase. Each day, you will find a list of the Krafty Girls participating in the sneak peeks on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Blog.

So...would you like to see one of the new stamps?? How about a new stamp based on another original piece of artwork by the talented Annie Rodrigue?? This month, Kimmie is bringing you the rubber version of "Perfect Poison"!! This mischievous gal is up to something a little naughty...wonder who got on her bad side?? I sure wouldn't want to be the recipient of her "home-brewed" concoction. "Perfect Poison" comes with two sentiments, one of which I used on this card. (the other reads "Cocktails?")

I had some fun colouring up this image...it's a bit "darker" than what I'm used to colouring! I experimented with some deeper purple based shadows on her skin to make her appear a bit more menacing. I tried colouring her hair black...something I need to practice a bit more! I thought some purple highlights might suit our little potion maker...I'm thinking she's the type who likes to make a statement, no? Her little bottle was coloured to appear transparent and then given a coat of Glossy Accents. The background panel was created with various Distress Inks...except for the purple which is an Ancient Page inkpad.

So, mark your calendars! You've got a date with us Krafty Girls for the few days! You won't want to miss any of the sneak peeks or our BLOG HOP on Sunday (when the new stamps will be available for purchase!).

See you back here tomorrow!

Blessings,

Melanie
