Ketto Blog Hop

Welcome to the first Ketto Blog Hop, sponsored by Stamping Bella! If you're following the Blog Hop, you should have arrived here from Shannon's blog. If you’ve just happened upon my blog and don’t want to miss out on any of the fabulous Ketto creations, you can click here to start from the beginning at Emily's (THE Stamping Bella's) blog.

I got my very first Ketto stamp last weekend, just in time to participate in today’s Ketto Blog Hop. I used this week’s sketch challenge from Paper Craft Planet for my card.

Flamenca Ketto is colored with Copic markers and highlighted with some Royal Red Shimmerz (unfortunately, my lousy photo doesn’t capture the shimmer . . .) and some tiny red sparkles in her crown, too. I picked the color scheme for my image to match the bright colors of this GCD patterned paper. I used both sides of the paper on my card—the textured looking green/yellow mix on most of my cardfront and the geometric pattern for the panel on the bottom of the cardfront. A few more rhinestones and a pretty flower finished off the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Your next stop on the blog hop is Jenn’s blog. Enjoy!

Materials Used:
Flamenca Ketto image (Stamping Bella); Snow White Choice Cardstock, red tiny twinkles (Taylored Expressions); Tuxedo Black ink (Memento); markers (Copic); Royal Red Shimmerz, GCD Studios paper, circle and scalloped circle Nestabilities dies (i {heart} papers); flower (Prima); red satin ribbon (Target); self-adhesive rhinestones (Studio 18); Lemon Tart cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Barely Banana Classic ink, mat pack and paper piercing tool, sponge, dimensionals (Stampin’ Up!)
