For my card tonight, I used the gorgeous new Travel Girl-Priya from India. She is STUNNING, and I LOVE everything about her. I stamped her on X-Press It blending card, and then colored her with my Copics. Her dress was also paper pieced with the MME Indie Chic paper pad. I used more of the paper to make my rosette, which I added a Whip Cream button from MFT to, with some hemp cord tied through it. My ribbon is Kraft from MFT, and it was added using a Creative Express spiral clip. On the side, I used the Simply Scalloped Medium Border Die-namics with Fossil cardstock, which I tied some hemp cord around as well. My other cardstock colors are Sno Cone from MFT, and Gold Coin from Bazzill. To finish, I used the MFT Circle Stax Die-namics to cut out my sentiment and it's layer.

Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks-Day 1

Hey Kraftin' Kimmie fans, it's time for our November Release!! This month's release is FULL of fabulousness, starting with today's Travel Trinkets!! I am LOVING the trinkets line for SO many reasons, but more than anything...what a FABULOUS way to add a sentiment to your creation!

For my card today, I paired one of the new Travel Trinkets, stamped in Archival Black Ink on Sweet Tooth cardstock, with last months Fernanda Flamenco! She was colored on X-Press It blending card, and matched with the Lilybee Designs Victoria Park paper pad. I used MFT Fancy Flourish swirls and some Royal Rose Duo Die-namics flowers. My cardstock is Black Licorice, Blu Raspberry(both from MFT), and a pink my friend Tobi gave me to use, but I forgot to ask what it was, LOL!  I finished my card off with some Michael's brads, and Black Licorice Grosgrain.
