Today is both the third day of Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps previews AND Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps Challenge day!  Add to that the fact that there’s only one more sleep till the release, and I couldn’t possibly be more excited!

This week’s challenge has been set by the lovely and super talented Melanie, and she wants you to….

Stash The Booty!

Include a hidden/secret component on your card!

So, here’s mine!  I’ve used another of Annie’s fantastic new Moonlight Whispers images – Billy Blyth.  He’ll be available on Sunday either in the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps online store or if you’re in the UK/Europe, here at Quixotic Paperie.

Billy comes with a Jolly Roger accessory stamp, but I’ve used the little treasure chest that comes with Captain Scurvy for my hidden tag!  I’ve also used one of the sentiments from the fantastic new Pirate Sentiments set, which will also be released on Sunday!

I should point out that this card is huge.  It’s a whopping 19.5cm x 19.5cm.  Why?  I just felt like it!  Well, that and I wanted to keep the “X Marks The Spot” text on the paper…

Since my Prismacolor Pencils were still out on the desk after making yesterday’s card, I decided to use them for the sand.  The rest of the image is coloured with my usual Copics.

The papers I’ve used are some fantastic Rusty Pickle pirate themed papers that I have had for ages.  They have just been waiting for the perfect stamps, and I can see them getting used up pretty quickly now!  The large black pearls are available HERE.  The silver skulls are from my stash, as is the SU ribbon.
