Elephant birthday
Happy September 1st!! It's time for a new challenge on the Critter Crazy Challenge blog! As always, it is a month long challenge: Anything Goes as long as you feature a creature. Here is my card for your inspiration:
Isn't this little elephant so sweet?!! I decided to give him a little pair of denim paper pieced overalls as I am not very good at denim coloring and I had the perfect paper! I used the same paper on the top panel of the card and mixed in a jute pattern to go with my twine bow and some brick patterned paper at the bottom to help give an edgy, modern look. I also stamped the elephant onto gray cardstock to cut down the coloring on his head/body as well. I added a little shading to both elephant and overalls with a darker marker and called it done! I heat embossed the sentiment with black embossing powder so it would stand out and finished everything off with some gray enamel dots. Just before I was getting ready to take the picture, I felt like it needed "something". So, I went and stamped the clusters of little stars and I think it added so much!Saturday, August 26, 2023
My Grace
Last month, I needed to send cards to two friends who were coming up on the anniversary of the loss of a loved one. I wanted something simple as I was going away and needed to be able to finish them up without a lot of supplies.
I stamped the flowers and then stamped the three part sentiment. It's fun that it comes in parts because you can use different colors of ink like I did here. I intended to color the flowers on both cards blue to match the blue ink in the sentiment. But my coral colored markers caught my eye and I had to use them for the second card. I didn't even use any embellishments, so nice and CAS.
