SHABBY CHIC!

Hi Friends! 
I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday season and finally are able to sneak in some time to get krafty!! 
I pulled out the Eskimo Pals stamp set and coloured it up with Copic markers. Next I masked off the image and created a cool galaxy background using my inks. I also added texture using ink splatter and the Beautiful Burlap stencil with white pigment ink. 
I hope you play along and I can't wait to see what you create!

Each and every Saturday we post a brand new challenge for the week and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like!  These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however using a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp will earn you double entries!  Each submission will enter you into the monthly draw of a $40 gift voucher to the krafty shop!

We've also got a fun sketch to inspire you for the month of January!  You don't have to use it but it's there for you to use if you need a little kickstart....feel free to use it any time!  

There are two ways to enter our challenges!  1) you can link up your entries at the bottom of this post and 2) share your KKS creations in our Krafty Friends facebook group!  We can't wait to see what you create!
