No patterned paper

Hello and welcome to another fun
Saturday Challenge!
Are you ready for some krafty fun?
We can't wait for you to play along and share your amazing krafty kreations!


 I created a card with this chubby little guy from the Manatee Pals set...you may have seen this before as I started the scene during one of our weekly colouring videos. The images were stamped in our Totally Taupe ink and then coloured with watercolour paints.

These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however using a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp will earn you double entries! Each submission will enter you into the monthly draw of a $40 gift voucher to the krafty shop!


We've also got a sketch to inspire you for the month of June! You don't have to use it but it's there for you to use if you need a little kickstart....feel free to use it any time!

inspiration to help you get creative

I added highlights to the water with some white gouache.

Confession: I have never made is an ATC (artist trading card). These fun mini creations measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches. Thought it was time to give it a go! I inked up one of the images from Capture the Moment and stamped just a portion of the image in Wicked Black ink. I coloured the girls with Copic markers. The background panel was created by sponging the paper in our new Salty Sea ink and then using our Wonky Chevron stencil with Sparkling Sapphire ink. I also used a trio of Underwater Dots and a sentiment from the set to finish is off. 



Here's the hop list:
