My card today features the NEW clear stamp set called 

BUGS and KISSES combined with some pretty 

flowers from BUDS and BLOOMS.  

I used a combo of copics, zig clean color markers

and distress inks to make this card.  I cut the sentiment 

apart (gasp!) so I could arrange it a little differently.

I'm pretty tickled with how it turned out and I 

absolutely ADORE these little bees!!

Kraftin' Kimmie Wonderful Wednesday - {Look for Rainbows}

Hello lovely crafty friends - Happy Wednesday!

It's time for another ANYTHING GOES Challenge

for Wonderful Wednesday at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE!

My card today features the beautiful young 

gal from Look for Rainbows along with a retired

sentiment from a previous set (sorry about that) that 

has been laying on my craft desk for awhile and seemed

so perfect for this.  That small grass piece on the bottom

was also on the desk waiting to be used :o). 

Are you like me and seldom throw your bits and pieces

and/or rejects away in the hopes that some day you will use them? 

 In this case I'm really glad that I did :o).  

I had colored this image as practice for a color-along that I did

last month for Kraftin' Kimmie in the Facebook Friends group.

I later fussy cut around her and placed her on this card.
