A Bit Mix Media, A Bit Scrappy With Kraftin Kimmie Stamps Cuddles The Dog

Cobalt-Canvas

Hello Krafty Friends,

This month has flown by so fast!

I have been truly blessed to be a guest designer for the month of March on the Kraftin Kimmie Team! I think they are a super awesome group of talented individuals, who have been inspiring me all month!

I am sharing my project for the Scrappy challenge over at the Kraftin Kimmie Friends facebook group. It was oodles of fun trying my hand at making a mix media canvas with a bit of the old scrapbooking flare I use to do before I started card making.

I knew the moment I first opened up my dream team package and saw the new Sparkling Sapphire ink that I was in love! The ink is this lovely deep blue shade that reminds me of my little fur ball Cobalt.

When my family and I were coming up with a name for our new puppy, My brother ended up thinking up the name Cobalt and it won against the literally hundreds of names I had jot down 13 years ago. He was named after the car Chevy Cobalt, but I secretly enjoyed the name because as a fan of many pigments I have always enjoyed this colour.

Cobalt just turned 13 in December and I really wanted to make a Canvas with the photos we took in the fall of him sitting in the leaves. I thought Cuddles the puppy stamp set would look cute and almost sketchy if I just simply stamped him in the corner with the Sparkling Sapphire ink, I then make sure to use the ink for the Cobalt lettering, and stamped the sentiment in it as well. I used the pawprint stencil with some embossing paste, and then sprayed some Heidi Swapp mist over top of it to make it a bit more teal/ darker blue then the paste originally was. Lastly I added some layering with some stickers and added some of the blue enamel dots from the rainbow Kraftin Kimmie Dots Collection to add a bit of embellishment.

I really love how this turned out and I think it will be a nice reminder of my love for him, he truly has a pawprint forever embedded on my heart.

A new Scrappy challenge starts March 27th, using a Kraftin Kimmie stamp all that is required is making a project that isn’t a card!

Lots of hugs,

Patti
