I love combining challenges - I know I say it every time! But really, I feel so much more accomplished! Here is my take on the
Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps challenge {Lotsa Circles} and the
SFYTT sketch:
I fell in love with the
Moonlight Whispers line of stamps as soon as they were released! I've had this stamped out but have been too intimidated to color it. I finally bit the bullet with this challenge b/c I have the perfect sentiment for it. It is from a cute little company called
Bugawumps that I have seen at the Scrapbook expo in Loveland for the past couple of years. Here it is on the inside of my card:

It reads, Wishing you a checkered past and a Polka Dot future. I guess I think it's perfect because it correlates with the polka dots on her dress.
STAMPS: KKS Charlotte; Bugawumps sentiment; SU! Riveting (retired); PTI Polka Dot Basics 1
INK: Memento Tuxedo Black; PTI Pure Poppy; SU! Chocolate Chip
PAPER: PTI Dark Chocolate, Kraft, Pure Poppy & SS White
OTHER: Copics {pictured above}; Cuttlebug Argyle embossing folder; PTI Vintage button Pure Poppy; white gel pen; brown embroidery floss; EK Success Swiss Cheese border punch
