BUT FIRST, I have to get my cards out of the way, so we can get to the fun stuff, lol! We're featuring the July KOM or the new kit called Framed Alpha! Now, I don't have the alpha yet, but I do LOOOVE my July KOM!
This bird is seriously the cutest thing ever, it's just very whimsical and folksy! Adorable:)I used some of my new Basic Gray (Lemonade) paper, aren't the colors gorgeous? I sponged Scattered Straw distress ink around all pieces for this card for a vintage feel. I also love this sentiment, it's great for giving to a friend you may have had a little argument with, I do that now and then, lol!
My next card is using last months KOM Incentive kit, Bevy of Butterflies. I truly hope this set makes a debut sometime in the future for those of you who didn't get it because it is an amazing set, by Lisa Hetrick. That woman is a wonderful artist! And it has the sweetest story behind it, so touching:)
Anyhoo, here's my card...
The card base is the embossed dots cardstock by Bazzill! I got this stuff a few months ago when I got to hang out with Christi and Robyn in St. Louis! We had so much fun shopping together, those girls are fab:)I clear embossed the butterflies and then sponged several different Ranger Distress Inks over it to make them pop! Totally fun technique, especially if you don't mind getting your fingers inky *which I happen to LOVE!*
Okay, well, now's your chance to win! Leave a comment here for your chance to win Bright and Merry Winter Wishes!
I just received mine in the mail a couple days ago and haven't had the chance to play with it yet, but I can tell you these are some fantastic stamps! Can't wait for Christmas, lol!Good luck and HIP HOP! See ya in the forums!!
