Stamp Simply #108 – Krafty Black
Krafty Black — Today’s challenge is in honor of all those who LOVE Kraft paper. It is likewise a little push or shove to those who rarely use it (and that would be ME!) The added element is that we MUST use black paper as well — anything else goes, as long as you have both Kraft and Black paper in your creation. And, if you don’t own Kraft paper, do your best to use whatever you have that is as close as possible. As always, we’re an easy bunch. We just want you to play and have some fun with us!
Keyword ssnotime108 – There is no time limit. You can play this challenge and upload your project at Splitcoast and/or your Blog, anytime at all. You (and that means anyone and everyone, blogger or not!) can play as many times as you like!!! The point is to keep it simple, quick and have fun!!! Please link back here.

And here’s my Krafty Black creation for today:
A Kraft card base and a Krafty type color in the LaCreme DP. I wanted to add to my supply of sympathy cards today. A simple style I do often using a LaCreme Chipboard Sticker flower and *hanging* my sentiment by a Cuttlebug Corner Die piece placed on top. The sentiment and border is from Thinking of You by JustRite. The Black Silk Bow is made on the Bow Easy. Paper is SU Kraft, Black, Very Vanilla and LaCreme DP by DCWV. My card is 5.5″ square.
______________________________
The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store carries the following items used on this card:
Thinking of You used on the 2 1/4″ x 3 1/16″ Oval Stamper by JustRite.

Stunning Sharon, absolutely gorgeous!
just fabulous Sharon! I love Kraft and can’t wait for it to sneal back into another challenge!! 😉
This is a beauty!
I love kraft paper for that little bit of brown. I use it with a faded black (okay dark grey) a lot. Just has a warm homey feel to me. I use it with masculine cards.
Very nice card. Sophisticated and stylish. Awesome.
So elegant and classy!
Kraft again, Oh my! I just finished this wks SCS CC…kraft, mellow moss and white. I seem to only reach for kraft on challenges, but usually like the results. Hope to play later. Thanks Sharon for another fun challenge and inspiring gorgeous card.
Gorgeous! You make Kraft look like spun-gold, girlfriend!!! Hope all is well with you and yours … hope to get a chance to play!
~Hugs, Deb

So beautiful…fun challenge…black and kraft go together soooo well!
Guess we were both thinking in the same direction this time around!
What is craft paper? Is that the paper that kind of looks and feels like cardboard (but is paper)?
What a beauty, Sharon! Your creations are always the most elegant and beautiful of anyone out there!
Your card is gorgeous, Sharon!! This challenge should bring some real beauties!!
