Blonde Bombshell

What a fun card this was to make! It is Whimsy's Blonde Bombshell rubber stamp designed by Kenny K. So quick and easy to colour because there really isn't a lot of colour on this. I shaded her dress with some light grays, some yellows for her hair and then the skin. A glitzy starlet like this of course needs some sparkle so I added some Stickles Stardust glitter. The button is from Ribbon Girl (isn't that a pretty little bit?) and the feathers are from the stash. The paper is from Basic Grey's Little Black Dress collection and the flowers were cut with CC Design's 5 Point Flower die. The sentiment is also from Whimsy and is from the Film Strip sentiments set. I wanted to use it on vellum but did not have any Stazon ink so I simply stamped it on paper and snipped the ends off. I was also lucky enough to have this published in Whimsy's Inspirations Magazine issue 12. You can view the shorter free online version here or purchase the full printed version in the Whimsy store.

Copics:

Dress C2, C1, C0, C00;

Hair YR31, YR30, YR21, YR0000;

Surfer Dude

Wow... time is just flying by! Tomorrow is April already and 1/4 of the year has slid by so quickly! Today's card is another I had published in Whimsy Stamps Inspiration free online magazine. For this one, I've used Kenny K's Surfer Dude which is available at the Whimsy store. I always like working with Kenny K's images, either digi or rubber... seems like everything just falls into place. I used a piece of paper by Cosmo Cricket called Salt Air and the sentiment is one of Raindrop Echo's from the Fast Lane digi set, also available at the Whimsy store. I tried something different with this one - I used Aleene's Glitter Snow in the sand and when it was dry, I added dabs of Copic colours E13, E53 and YR31. The image was also coloured with Copics and the charm is one I found in my stash. The little cork circles are made by Canvas Home Basics.

Scrooge!

It's Sunday and that means it's time for another challenge at Kenny K's Krafty Girlz and this week's theme is Christmas hues of blues. This image is Kenny K's Scrooge and it just cracks me up when I look at it! The only fitting sentiment I could think of was 'Bah Humbug' and I know the perfect person for this card. In addition to winning five of Kenny K's digis, the winner will also receive a $15 voucher from Michelle's Scrapbooking and More. My term as a designer on Kenny K's Krafty Girlz team is finished and although I'm saddened by it, I've decided not continue for the same reason most of us have for doing or not doing anything... wow, life is so, so busy! I do want to extend my thanks to all the Girlz on the DT, Kenny K, Elena, Donna and Sarah Louise. It was a fab ride and I'm going to miss it but I've got to wind some things down.
Onto the card.... The papers are from a fabulous collection of Bo Bunny's called Snowfall which I purchased as a 6 X 6 pad from One Crazy Stamper. I've coloured the image with Copics and stamped around the edges with a little flourish stamp I have and some distress ink. The snowflake is cut with a Sizzix die and the brads are Basic Grey.
Have yourself a good week!

Groove Dude - Kenny K

Time for another challenge at Kenny K's Krafty Girlz and this week's theme is Stitching and it can be either faux or real. The challenge is sponsored by Kenny K and Dies to Die For and there's some great prizes up for grabs so be sure to enter your project.
I decided it was time to practice with that new sewing machine I got so mine is real stitching - wish it was perfect but I do have a little more work before I'm used to it.
I used Kenny K's Groove Dude image and coloured him with Copics. My new 'craze' is stamping around the edges of my images and I did it here as well with a small flourish stamp I have. The paper is from Basic Grey's Little Black dress pad which I purchased at One Crazy Stamper. Oh my... I love, love, love that paper and there isn't a piece in there I don't like! I used a Marianne Creatable die for the flourishes, the brads are from my stash and the sentiment is from Whimsy's Fast Lane digi collection.

Nestabilities were used for cutting and embossing the circle and oval and then I used a Scor-Pal to emboss lines on the cardstock.

Glitter and Bling - Kenny K

This week's challenge at Kenny K's Krafty Girlz is glitter and bling so grab those Stickles, sparkles and anything else that has a little glitz and glam to it. Your entry into the challenge gives you a chance to win a couple of great prizes. Kenny K is giving the winner 5 digis of your choice

and Donna from Bearly Mine Designs is offering 2 of her gorgeous Christmas digi sets of your choice

I chose to use the Reindeer digi from Kenny K's newest Christmas release and proceeded to colour those reindeer with Copics. The papers are all Basic Grey from a fab little 6 x 6 pad called Wassail. I've used that stack over and and over so will have to look around for a new one shortly. The sentiment is half a circle from a CatsLife Press stamp and the chipboard corners are from Make it Crafty. I love using their laser cut chipboard and for these, I just dabbed them in glue and used Martha Stewart glitter to jazz them up. The snowflakes were cut with a Martha Stewart punch and then gold Stickles around all the edges to finish it up.

Be sure to head on over to see what the rest of the Krafty Girlz have designed for you to check out - I've seen some of them already and they are gorgeous.

Rock Roller - Kenny K

First of all, I apologize for being late with my post. I did not have it scheduled and would't you know it, I lost my internet connection and haven't had it all weekend so this had to wait until I got into work this morning. More proof that I need to be more organized!

Now, onto the card - there's a new challenge going on at Kenny K's Krafty Girlz and the theme is Autumn Colours, so go on... use those reds, oranges, browns, yellows and greens and check out what the rest of the DT has done, there's some great inspiration there. Your entry into the challenge gives you a chance to win 5 Kenny K digis of your choice

plus a gorgeous assortment of Autumn Cascade Ribbons from Crafty Ribbons

For my card, I chose Rock Roller which can be found at Kenny K's Downloads and coloured him up with Copics The sentiment is Whimsy Stamp's Party Mini Letter Seals and I mounted it on a star I'd cut with a Sizzix die. The paper is some scraps I'd saved and I don't remember who made them but I do know the brads are Basic Grey. I inked a little Burnt Umber over the jute to give it some colour and stuck it down.

Hockey, Hockey, Hockey! - Kenny K Krafty Girlz

Time for a new challenge over at Kenny K's Krafty Girlz and this week's them is Girls and use your die cuts and punches. I merged Hockey and Hockey Girl images using Paint.net. Both are available at Kenny's store. The papers are from Bo Bunny's Gabrielle collection. Nestabilities were used to cut the ovals and a combination of Nesties and punches for the little tabs and then I coloured the image with Copics. The sentiment is from Raindrop Echo's City Talk Collection at Whimsy Stamps.

I still cannot figure out how it seems straight when I put it together and then sometime between then and when I take my picture, the card gremlins come along and move everything around so it is crooked! I hadn't noticed my oval and the string was not straight but it is oh so obvious now!
There's a couple of great prizes up for grabs this week - a $15 gift certificate fromWhimsy Stamps

and 5 Digis of the Winner's Choice from Kenny K Downloads

Be sure to head on over to the Challenge Blog and check out what the rest of the Girlz have ready for you.

Rock Dude - Kenny K

Kenny K's Krafty Girlz has a new challenge! The theme for the next week is 'Your All Time Favourite Kenny K Image' and the challenge is sponsored by Kenny K and Michelle's Scrapbooking & More. I'm not sure I can say this is my favourite because I like so many of them but Rock Dude is right up at the top of the list.

I don't know who makes this paper because there is no name on it but it's a perfect print. It was another of my Ebay finds and I wish I'd bought more. I coloured the image with Copics and sponged Tim Holtz's Tumbled Glass around the edge for shading. All the papers are distressed and I used Tim Holtz's Black Soot for that. The sentiment was printed directly onto the cardstock and the fibers around the stars were a local scrapbook store purchase and sadly, again there is no name to refer you to.

Steampunk Brianna Blaster - Kenny K

There's a new challenge over at Kenny K's Krafty Girls plus he is showcasing his second Steampunk release. The theme this week is Victorian Grunge and is sponsored by Kenny K and Bearly Mine. Now to be perfectly honest with you, I really wasn't sure what Victorian Grunge is and don't know if I got it right but when I was scooting around the internet, it seemed to me these papers, sprockets and clock would work. This gal is called Brianna Blaster and I like it! Copics were used for all the colouring except I added some glitter for all the buttons and some lines on her skirt with a gold glitter pen. The brown paper is Bo Bunny and the dark accent pieces are Graphic 45. I love those gears/sprockets with the jewels in them... I found them on Ebay and they are 7 Gypsies. I've seen lots of the plain ones but liked the gem in these. The clock and hands are Tim Holtz hardware and the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps Film Strip Sentiments set.

Kitty Katastrophe - Kenny K

This week's challenge at Kenny K's Krafty Girlz is 'Layers' and is sponsored by Crafty Ribbons. This little spicy little gal is Kitty Katastrophe and can be purchased at Kenny K's store. For my card, I used My Mind's Eye papers and some jewelled brads I had in my stash. The woven ribbon is also from the stash but the beige colour wasn't cutting it with all the black and white paper so I ran my black ink pad over it to add a bit of colour and I like it much better. Copic markers were used to colour the image and I sponged a little blue ink around Kitty. The sentiment is Whimsy Stamps Film Strip Sentiments and Film Strip Die. That little sentiment took me forever... I tried several different things using clear vellum because when stamped, it looks just like film but no matter what I tried and how badly I wanted it to work, it just wasn't happening because the clear film just blended in with the black and white paper.

Be sure to head on over to Kenny K's Krafty Girlz to enter the challenge and see what the rest of those talented ladies have come up with.

Diesel Dawg - Kenny K Challenge

Yikes.... I would hate to see this fellow and his bulldog racing towards me - don't think I could run fast enough or far enough! This is Diesel Dawg and not much more needs to be said except that it can be purchased at Kenny K's.

The challenge at Kenny K's Krafty Girlz is 'Fun in the Sun' and is sponsored by Whimsy Stamps. Can't you just see this guy out 4 wheelin' and slingin' mud and dirt? Be sure to pop on over to the challenge blog to see what the rest of the design team has for you.

The background paper is from Stampin Up and the dotted paper is from a large pad of My Mind's Eye. The circles were cut with Nestabilities and then I used the smallest die from my Nellie Snellen Star Wreath set and glued the star down onto the circle. This card took me forever... I messed around with different embellishments and nothing seemed right until it finally clicked... I was using a piece of DP that was all wrong and when I finally chose something else, it fell into place for me and I was much happier with the piece. I coloured the image with Copic markers and the sentiment is from Whimsy's Vintage Transportation set.

The new challenge at Kenny K's Krafty Girlz is to make a pocket card and is sponsored by Kenny K himself. As one of the new DT members, this is my first challenge at Krafty Girlz and here's I came up with. I used the Bench Couple image which I think is hilarious... I can just about hear this love-struck fellow saying 'arrrooogah, arrooogah!' I coloured it with Copics and used SEI patterned paper. Those fab little hearts were cut with the latest and greatest die I've received which is Whiff of Joy's 'Cute Hearts'. The sentiments on both the outside and inside are Whimsy Stamp's 'Love Letter Seals'.

Techno Guy

Today's card is my son's birthday card. As soon as I saw Kenny K's TechnoGuy, I knew it was a future birthday card. Not that Clayt is a musician but he does shave his head & I thought this fellow looked a lot like him.
I coloured the image with Copics & the rest of it is from my stash... the papers, the brad & the glitter paper. The ribbon is new & I bought it at Michael's... it's not really a 'guy' kind of ribbon but I liked it because the silver sparkles matched everything else. The sentiment is computer generated & the stars cut with Nestabilities. The layout is Bev's sketch on Kenny K's Krafty Girls Challenge site.
Challenges the card is entered in:
Kenny K Krafty Girlz - Sketch Challenge
Creative Inspirations - Celebrate
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges - Anything Goes
