KLM Designs Release Day

Today is another release at KLM Designs. There are five new images being released today, but if you haven't been there recently there are a lot of new images. You can even download a few freebies to try them out for yourself. I have a lot of cards to share today. I don't usually share them all on the same day, but I am still playing catch up from my time in the hospital with my son. I hope I don't bore you.

This is the Fuschia image. I started with Kraft paper and rubbed my New Canvas stamp pad directly all over the paper. Love the softened look! The image is printed on Gina K 80 lb. cardstock. I find this paper works the best in my printer and works fabulously with Copic markers or prismacolor pencils and OMS. The image is colored with Copic Markers.
Supplies-
Stamp-Fuschia (KLM Designs)
Paper- Gina K 80 lb White, Kraft (PTI), Basic Grey Sugared
Ink-New Canvas (Palette)
Other-circle nestie die, corner rounder, Copic markers, Lemon Spica glitter pen, MS doily border punch, Sweet Blush vintage buttons (PTI), satin ribbon (from stash)

Isn't this little turtle so cute? I colored him with Copic markers, then dusted some brown shimmer chalk to "ground" him (or her). I guess with the way I colored it, it looks like a her. I stamped a fern backgrounder onto Plum Pudding with Plum Pudding ink, but it doesn't really show up well in the photo.
Supplies-
Stamp-Turtle (KLM Designs), fern backgrounder (CHF)
Paper-Gina K 80 lb. white, Plum Pudding, Kraft (PTI), Nana's Nursery Baby Girl (DCWV)
Ink-Plum Pudding (PTI)
Other-scalloped rectangle nestie die, Copic markers, shimmer chalks, buttons (from stash)

This image is called Swinging Girl and I colored her with prismacolor pencils and OMS. I added some Blingz to the flowers for that little added punch. Once again started with Kraft and lightly sponged the edges with Fresh Snow ink.

This image is Rosebud. I attempted to try something different. I am not really sure I got the look I was going for. I traced the image onto vellum with a stylus while the image was on a foam mat. I then colored it in with a white pencil to deepen the impression and colored it with Tombow markers all on the back of the image. On the front I painted over the image with Angel Wings Shimmerz.

This last card is the Village Cottage image. When I saw the image, I immediately saw a school house so I used my Just Rite small alphabet and stamped the word "School" over the door. I colored the image with prismacolor pencils and OMS. I highlighted all of the trees with Spica glitter pens. It looks great in person, but hardly shows at all in the photo.
Supplies-
Stamps-Village Cottage (KLM Designs), Vintage Picnic (sentiment), Limitless Labels (apple) PTI Just Rite Small alphabet
Paper-Gina K 80 lb. white, blue (Prism), Smokey Shadow (PTI)

KLM Designs offers three sentiments with each of their images which is such a great value. I find that I make most of my cards without sentiments so that I can use them for any occasion. Once I decide what I am going to use the card for, I can easily print out the sentiment and add it to the inside of my card. It is such a nice way to finish off the inside of a card.

I want to thank all of you for your prayers for my son. He is doing so much better. He just needs to regain his strength, he is very weak right now. I know without the prayers of many he would not being doing as well as he is. I give God all the glory for how far he has come. A week ago, his kidneys were barely functioning and they were talking of putting him on dialysis. Today, his kidneys are functioning at almost 100%! God is so good!

I also want to put a plug in for my daughter. She loves to write and has started a blog to journal her writings. Stop on over and give her some love. Her blog is Planted by the River.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for reading the LONGEST post ever--at least on my blog. Have a blessed day!
