Last weekend, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps had a huge celebration over on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Blog. Not only was it World Card Making Day, but it was also Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps' Birthday! :) There were lots of challenges to celebrate but the one that really caught my eye was the Birthday Challenge because by entering this challenge, you have a chance to become a permanent Krafty Girl DT member, which would be a dream come true for me! :) If you've been around my blog for a while now, you know I LOVE Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps :) I use them as often as I can :) So, I just had to enter this challenge and give it a shot. Without further delay, here is my card :)
For my entry, I just had to ink up this amazing image. She's called Lucy and she has got to be one of my all time favorite images (although I say that about all of them :) ). The challenge is to create a birthday project. Well, in my household, the best birthday gifts are books so I thought this image would be perfect for the challenge :) Growing up, I always asked for books for birthdays and holidays and my mom was wonderful at picking out the best books :) My husband got me a Kindle one year for my birthday . . . best birthday gift ever! :) Anyway, I of course colored my image with copics. Here are the colors I used:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R20
Hair: E21, E25, E29
Shirt: R81, R83, R85, R89
Shorts: E41, E42, E43, E44, E47
Blues: B91, B93, B95, B97, B99
Book pages: E41, E42, E43, E44, E47
Books: R35, R37, R39, R59; E23, E25, E29
Shadow: W2, W4, W6, Blender
I created my card base out of SU cardstock. My DP is from My Mind's Eye (Blush collection). The die cut was made using a Memory Box Die. I added a ribbon and a jewel bling (from Michael's) to the center of the ribbon. The flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts. The sentiment comes with the image, I cut each word out for a different look. Here are a few more pictures:
What do you think? Well, I'll be keeping my fingers and toes crossed :) Thanks so much as always for stopping by. Have a wonderful day! :)
