Since I’m getting back into the swing of things, here I am with a card for this week’s Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps challenge!

The theme this week over on the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps Challenge Blog is STRIPES.  Pretty simple – create a card with stripes on it!  Now, you could do what I’ve done and use stripey designer paper for your background layer.  Alternatively you might colour a character with stripes – either by finding one that already has a stripey top etc or by altering and drawing in the lines yourself!  OR you could be a smartypants and use STRIPES the Zebra stamp from the Crissy Armstrong collection at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps (available in the UK at Quixotic Paperie)!!

Our fabulous hostess this week is Krafty Girl Donna!  If you join in with us, you could win the Steven Leary – Miles Mouse stamp featured on her card today!

For my card I decided to use one of the awesome stamps from Krafty Quotes Set #2 (available in the UK at Quixotic Paperie).  Love these for quick and simple, yet very effective cards.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Krafty Quotes - available at www.quixoticpaperie.co.uk

The background paper is from the yummy Basic Grey – Hello Luscious 6×6 pad.  I cut the oval and scalloped oval using Nestablities dies and masked/sponged the quote layer with Distress Ink – Worn Lipstick (also used on the edges of the layers).  Flatback crystals to add some bling!
