Kraftin Kimmie Inspirational Wednesday - Hoppy Friends

Hello krafty friends!

It's INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY,

the day we provide you with a bit of extra

krafty inspiration to help you get creative

with your krafty stamps!

Hi everyone!
I have a fun friendship card for you using Hoppy Friends!

I used the Krafty Scenery Stencil for the hills and the Krafty scenery 2 stencil for the grass in Charming Chartreuse, Goblin Green and Mossy Meadow. ink  I used the Chubby Cloud stencil in Magical Midnight ink and inked the background in Magical Midnight ink.

I stamped the sentiment with Goblin Green and Mossy Meadow.  I put the Mossy Meadow just on the top and bottom of the sentiment to give it a two-tone look.  I used some Nebula Stickles Glitter Gel rubbed on the top of the sky.  I added some flowers from my stash and finished it off with Pastel Dots. 

Stamped all the images using Wicked Black, colored them up with my Copic markers  

Used Copic Colors:

Bunny - W5, W3, W1, W0 and R20

Mouth - E04 and R20

Bee - W9, W7 and W5 with Y17, Y13 and Y11

If you want to add this stamp set to your 

collection, just hop on over to the KKS Shop!

and find it for 40% OFF this week! 

Happy Krafting!
