Some exciting news - I am this month's guest designer for Kraftin' Kimmies! A whole month to play with these sweet fun stamps! So my first GD post is for this week's new Kraftin' Kimmies challenge which is to create your own background. I am so used to my design papers that I was a bit stumped for this! But this is what I ended up with...
So what did I do? I used my die cuts! First I used the Lil' Inker Designs stitched mat to pierce the edges then I used the MFT Die-Namics - Chevron Stripes die by layering up the thin chevron onto the thicker one. Simple but I like it!
Oh and how about that cute dalmatian?! He is from the Kraftin Kimmies' Canine Capers 1 set and so is the matching sentiment. I'm really pleased with how this card turned out - I've already given it to my brother-in-law as a thank you for looking after Lulu and Poppy (our dogs!) while we were on holiday.
Check out more inspiration over at the Kraftin' Kimmies challenge blog and join in the challenge to win a fabby prize!
