ABC11K11: This week's (until tomorrow anyway!) letter is the letter K. My K's are the trio or cluster of kites and the word kind in the sentiment.
I wanted to try the stamp shifting that was the technique challenge last week.
Inspired by today's color challenge colors, I started with my ground. Using the stamp shifting technique, I first stamped one of the stripes from the Get In Line stamp set using Garden Green. I put it on my Misti and then curved it for my ground look. After stamping that one several times with Garden Green, I put the next stamp down right beside it on the Misti to replicate the curve, and stamped that one several times with Wild Wasabi. Then I put my final stamp down next to it and stamped several times with Granny Apple Green. I had first tried to stamp all three together but found that stamping them in succession was what I needed to do. Of course, I had to curve my "ground" which, for me, made the shifting more challenging. I selected this sentiment out of my sentiments with the word kind, because it is a photopolymer stamp and I could shape it to follow the curve of the ground.
I then stamped my two Poppy Parade kites directly onto the card stock and stamped the Mango Melody kite onto scrap cs and cut it out. I popped the Mango Melody kite up using dimensionals and then drew in the kite strings with a pen.
Thanks for looking!

This is just wonderful Catherine! You have really outdone yourself with this wonderful stamp shifting to create this rolling hills background. This trio of kites done in the different patterns is really perfect on this card and so is your curvy kindness sentiment. This is such a great card for the letter K Catherine. ~Karen.
