Kraftin' Kimmie Spring Tea Party Kit...Preview #3!!

(I have two posts today! If you are looking for my Sweet 'N Sassy post, just scroll down or click here! )


Good morning!! I hope you have been enjoying the previews of Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Spring Tea Party Stamp Kit! The Krafty Girls have been busy showcasing a different image from the kit each day. We started all the fun on Tuesday, so if you missed any of the days you can always scroll back on our blogs to see all the Tea Party fun!


Tuesday we introduced you to "Nadine", and Wednesday belonged to "Giselle". Today, we are showing you the gentleman of the party...meet "Henri"!! Oh, how sophisticated he is with his bowler hat and moustache! I just love the look on his face...look at him, leaning so casually on his cane. Who wouldn't want to go enjoy a java break with such a fine gent!



"Henri"was of course stamped on my favourite Copic compatable paper (Neenah). (Question for my readers here...do you like to see a list of the markers used?? I'm not in the habit of recording my colours, but I can start trying to do so if there is the interest. Leave me a comment to let me know.) Once again, I used that fabulous My Mind's Eye paper "French Flea Market"...oh how I LOVE the colours in this paper! (I'm thinking I should pick up another pack, lol!!) I didn't want this card to be fussy, so I left the layout very simple. I masked "Henri" and sponged around him with Distress Ink in Antique Linen followed by Memento Rich Cocoa. The sentiments featured on this card are part of the Spring Kit! I used "Henri's" accessory stamp, the "Sugar Bowl", on the inside of my card.





So, do you have a favourite so far?? We still have two more feature images to preview over the next two days, followed by a fun Blog Hop on Sunday! Now stampers, word has it these kits are moving fast...so please don't wait! Get yourself over to Kraftin' Kimmie's online store and order yours now! The price on this kit is fantastic, and Kimmie is currently offering a 10% discount on the set! Remember this kit is exclusively available at the online store.

Time to hop around to the other Krafty Girls to see what they've made with "Henri"!! (psst...I already know you will be impressed, cause they are fantastic!!) There are links to their blogs in my sidebar, as well as on the challenge blog!

See you back tomorrow morning

Blessings,

Melanie

Kraftin' Kimmie's Tea Party Set....Preview #2!!

Did you see the news yesterday?? Kraftin' Kimmie is offering you a limited time Spring Tea Party Stamp Kit, available exclusively at her online store!! Did you order yours yet? I suggest you hurry up and do so, because they are just flying off the shelf!

I am such a fan of Annie Rodrigue's images...I adore their quirkiness! While the images in this set are not actually "Alice" themed, they definitely have a "Wonderland" flavour! (btw...I am really excited to go see that movie!! I'm a huge Johnny Depp fan!)

The Krafty Girls are previewing one of five main images in the kit each day. Yesterday, we introduced you to "Nadine". Today, we are showcasing "Giselle"!



"Giselle" is so much fun. I love her outfit, complete with a tiny hat! As always, I stamped the image on Neenah cardstock and coloured with my trusty Copic markers. I paired her up with some gorgeous new paper I picked up by My Mind's Eye (one of my all time favourite paper companies). This is from the "French Flea Market" collection.



I also chose to make a gate fold card. I followed Jeanette Comerford's fabulous tutorial. You can find the link here. I included sentiments from the Spring Kit on both the outside and inside of my card. The little Teapot stamp is the accessory for Giselle.



Now, in the spirit of Kimmie's Tea Party Spring Kit, why not grab a cuppa tea or coffee while you hop around to all the Krafty Girl's blogs, as we are all previewing these images this week. You will find links to their blogs in my sidebar and also on the Challenge Blog. Don't forget to order your kit from the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps online store before they are gone!

Check back with us bright and early tomorrow morning for image #3!!!

Blessings,

Melanie
