Kraftin' Kimmie Sneek Peek day 1!!!

The time has come again to start the previews for the brand new Kraftin Kimmie Stamps November release!
Over the next few days the Krafty Girls will be showing off some wonderful samples of the new line up of stamps illustrated by Annie Rodrigue and Steven Leary!
Today I'm showing you Annie the Painter!!!

Isn't she fabulous???? I love her hair, and outfit and how she comes with a blank canvas. My imagination started to run wild with that, but this is what I came up with in the end. I thought it would be fun to try and put a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp from Annie on the canvas. I chose Charlotte because she's one of my all time favourites and one of the best sellers!

I stamped Charlotte & Annie onto a piece of Neenah paper, then using my scanner, I scanned them into a word document. Once in Word, I shrunk Charlotte down until she fit nicely onto Annie's canvas. This took a bit of fiddling around but I eventually got it. Once she was on the canvas I printed her off on the remaining piece of Neenah. I cut out the front panel of the canvas and coloured her up (very carefully...lol), then paper pieced it to the original stamped image so it fit perfectly!!! Clear as mud??? lol!!! I must say I had the most fun colouring up the tiny little Charlotte!

I paper pieced Annie to match the dp from My Minds Eye. Added some orange candy dots and ribbon to finish it off!

Make sure you check out the rest of the Krafty Girls to see their masterpieces! And come back tomorrow for another sneek peek!

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great day! Also, don't forget to wear your poppy today to commemorate and honour all of the soldiers for Rememberence Day!
