You send me .... Stars

Hello again and I promise this is my last one for today. I wanted to try out for the Kraftin Kimmie Guest DT for the second time this month. There are so many talented people out there but I just gotta get in to at least say I tried even if I don't get it! I had to give my best shot!!!

My stamp is Patsy and she is retired but she is one of my oldies that I cannot part. I was inspired by Nicole, Sheri and Sharon  to make this card and here it is:

Challenges:

Kraftin Kimmie Sat Challenge - AG
SSS Wed - Emboss

Hope you feel better soon

Hello, hello everybody! Brrr, it's really, really cold in Ontario right now...Yesterday, we had freezing rain and today, it's the aftermath..... The roads are ok but the sidewalks...No comments since the people did not clean them...Ugh!

Back to business LOL

I have been meaning to play with Kraftin Kimmie's challenge and even with my limited number of KKS stamps, I really, really wanted to come and play. So here it is

 The stamp is called Akiko and I think she is retired now but I really love her. KKS are so versatile and I could do Akiko for a birthday or a Valentine's one. I went with a get well card since my friend is sick.

She is colored with my prisma pencils and memento markers. I added some stickles glue on the embellishments and used a dots e/f for my background. I finished off with some sequins.

 Hope you can see the sparkle on her dress and the embellishments

My sketch comes from the Seize The Sketch

Remember

This card was made for my overseas friend, whom I miss so much. She is one of my best friends in the whole world!!! I haven't seen her in the past 5 years but we do skype from time to time when time permits. Hopefully, one day I can go back or vice-versa and we can meet again for real! In honour of our great friendship, this is for you my dear.

I embossed the beige cardstock and matted it over a brown one. I added some self-adhesived diamond for some bling. The image was colored with copics and prismacolored pencils. Some red stickles was added to the dress and bonets. I have used my paper piercer for around the card, used my black pen to give some accent to the border and on the patterned paper. I have also added some butterfly by punching with the Maped butterfly punch (something that I don't use very very often) and added some antennas onto them. The sentiment is from the October Afternoon stamp set.

All That Scraps and Marianne's Design Divas are having a DT call and so, let's cross my fingers. I have never been on a DT team before. I am still learning the odds and ends of cardmaking though and each time, there is something new to learn. It never ends :-)

Here is a close up of the image with the embossed background and bling.
