sweet girl...

Hey friends... popping with a card that I made for a couple of challenges:  Freshly Made Sketches (layout) and AAA Cards (woodland animals).   I don't own a ton of animal stamps... they are just not my thing... but I do own the super cute Lawn Fawn Hello Baby set (and the matching dies).  So I pulled that set out and tried my hand at some more water coloring.  I think things turned out pretty well.   I'm also going to post this to the Pretty Pink Posh Watercolor Blog Hop since I water colored the bunnies and the scribble circle.   ETA:  adding this to the current Lawnscaping challenge:  critters


One of my recent crafty purchases was the PTI Scribble Circle dies and I had been wanting to make something with them.  I water colored some Ranger water color paper using light yellow and pink inks.  Once the piece was dry I die cut it using the middle scribble circle.  It came out of the die with all the pieces still together and I liked how it looked so I just added some washi tape to the back to make sure that nothing fell out before I got the card finished.  The little bunnies were colored, allowed to dry and then die cut with the matching dies.  Some paper from the PTI Beautiful Brushstrokes pad was used to compliment the pink in the scribble circle.  I stamped the sentiment and then layered everything up.  The finished panel was mounted on a PTI Soft Stone card base.   I think this would make a lovely baby shower card or a birthday card for a little girl.

Many Thanks...

Hey there!!  It's Saturday and time for another Less is More challenge.   This week our LIM enteries need to be one layer and have leaves on them.  Here in the US Thanksgiving Day is right around the corner and so I made a "thank you" card which fits right in there with the current Lawnscaping challenge.  Sadly, I don't have any Lawn Fawn stamps, but in order to play along with the Lawnscaping challenge you don't necessarily need to have Lawn Fawn stamps. 



For my card I used the Waltzingmouse Frame It set.  I stamped the square frame in brown ink on kraft cardstock (and got it right in the center of the card on the first try.... I LOVE IT when that happens!!).  There is a leaf image in the set and I stamped that three times on kraft cardstock using orange and dark red inks (I used the rock n roll method).  The leaves were trimmed out, two adhered using glue dots and the middle one using a foam dimensional.  A bit of twine was tied in a bow and adhered.  Simple, simple, simple....

Oh and thanks to Chrissie and Mandi for picking my Wishing You card to be "ShowCASed"!!
