Get Messy with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Good morning and welcome to another Saturday challenge

I created a mixed media tag...I definitely hit the "get messy" bar on this one! I started by covering a tag with a dictionary page which was then inked with our Yummy Yellow, Pumpkin Patch, Ruby Red and Mossy Meadow inks. Over this, I attached a few bits of paper doilies which were inked then rubbed with some gold paint and a gold Nuvo glacier paste. I used our Lots o' Dots stencil and inked it with wicked black ink. I also used an old flourish stamp. The edges were all inked with Marvelous Mocha and glitzed up with a bit of paint and Nuvo paste (just used my finger to apply the paste). I stamped some flowers from Fancy Florals and leaves from Beautiful Blooms on arches watercolour paper and painted them. The sentiment is from Beautiful Blooms and was stamped in Wicked Black.



There are two ways to enter... you can link up your creation on the Kraftin’ Kimmie blog page AND you can upload your photo to the album in our Krafty Friends FB group.


And don't forget to check out this weekend's SALE in the krafty shop! We've put a selection of krafty goodies on SPECIAL 40% OFF while supplies last!
