Kraftin Kimmie Saturday Challenge - Use the Color Blue

Good morning and welcome to our very first Saturday challenge of 2020 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Are you ready for some fun and krafty challenges
to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing?
We've got some fabulous ideas for you 

and can't wait to see what you create!

My challenge for you is....

Use the color BLUE!!

For this challenge I used Merry & Bright!

Instead of making red Cardinals I made bluebirds!

I colored these birdies with Copics:
Blue: B28, B26, B23 and B21 with W9, W7, W5 and W3
Red: R59,  R29 and R22
Yellow: YR23 and Y13
Teal: BG07, BG05 and BG01

I die cut the tree branch and covered in texture paste with both Creamy Caramel Ink refill and Marvellous Mocha Ink refill.  I created an uneven texture with the ink refills and texture paste.  I finished it off with sequins and twine.

Each and every Saturday we post a brand new challenge for the week and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like!

These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp however using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and products will earn you double entries!  There are TWO ways to enter....you can link up your creation at the bottom of the Kraftin Kimmie Blog and AND you can upload your photo to the album in our Krafty Friends facebook group!
