Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenge # 52

Hello dear friends and fellow crafters. After the big blog hop for Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenges  first annyversary this is my first official Challenge I am in as a new DT member. I am still so lucky being a part of it as I love those images so much. They are so fresh and fun, and a pleasure to colour up.

Our theme for this week is

POCKET CARD

This was quite a challenge for myself as well, as I never made before a pocket card. But it was so fun to make it, so it definitely will not be the last one. I was in the pink mood. But you guessed already when you see my creation :o) I intend to put a letter into the pocket on my card. Therefore you cannot see a tag or something else as addition. In the inside of the card I stamped a sentiment which means 'give the world a smile, and the day belongs to you'. The image is coloured with Copics. To get more inspiration check the other fabulous DT creations as well.

Celtic Angel

Hi everyone, it is Digi Weeks Friday again over at Crafts and Me, and so time for me to show you some new creations I made. We have such gorgeous new images available as digis. One of them is from the amazing artist Sara Burrier, called 'Celtic Angel'. She is such a beauty! I love her and she is wonderful to colour. I love the long beautiful dresses of some of Sara's images. I am interested in anything celtic, so a big pleasure for me to play with her. You can find her HERE. I coloured her with Copics and the papers are from 7Gypsies.

The second card I show you today is made with another new image. It is from fabulous artist Hannah Lynn. She is called 'Deevonne' and such a big fun to colour up as well. You can find her HERE. I coloured her with Copics as well. The papers are from Basic Grey. I made this card for the last challenge over at Crafts and Me challenges. Right now we have the theme 'Add a Flower'. So don't miss to join. We love to see your creations over there.

Thank you so much for your visit. It is always much apprechiated. I wish you a wonderful and magical weekend. 

Hugs, Karina

Kindred

Hi everyone out there. So glad to see you here! Are you an animal lover just like me? Then you really cannot miss those amazing animal images by the fabulous artist Rebecca Sinz. There are available two plates of her animal series over at Sweet Pea Stamps.

For my card I used 'Kindred' from plate # 158. I coloured her with Distress Inks on heavy watercolour paper. I found it not that easy to colour the puma. But I am quite happy how it turned. For the background I used a wild animal patterned paper by Creative Imaginations. I think it fits quite well. 

Thank you so much for looking. Have a wonderful week everyone!

Hugs, Karina
