Pets


The challenge this week on Totally Papercrafts is Pets, and we have two sponsors for this challenge, Doodle Dragon and Inky Impressions - please stop by the blog to read the details.

I've used this cute stamp by Stampavie in the Sarah Kay collection, called simply Jean Luc, a little lad playing ball with his puppy.  I've coloured the image with my Copic pens to match the papers I just treated myself too - they are from the Nitwit Cottage Charm Too collection along with a plainer blue piece that came with a magazine, but still Nitwits.  I've spent hours browsing trying to find some of the freebie papers that I like in the digital collections!


Anyway, I got Jason to print out the brown daisy print and the taupe stripe at A5 size to save on paper and ink, then I've cut the pieces, inked the edges with Jumbo Java Versamagic chalk ink and matted with Sahara Sand card by SU!  I've used the same ink on the embossed areas of my diecut leaves and daisies then cut a few red fronds and a little button before finishing off with the stars from my waste jar and little bits of string.  I wasn't sure what occasion I would use this card for so decided against adding a sentiment, that way it can be a note card, or anything that takes my fancy!

Just a few Marianne dies on this one, the leaves from LR0255, and the daisies and red sprays from LR0106.

Charisma Cardz have an anything goes challenge this week, and Crafty Catz are playing bingo - my line is the diagonal to include embossing (on my diecuts), dies and or punches, and flowers - Bingo!

  12. Gorgeous card Annie, that image is just adorable ! Love those Nitwit papers too, they do have some great ones. Your whole card is fabulous.

    Sorry I haven't been by your blog for a while, as I'm sure Mark will have told you, our house is total chaos at the moment. Work going on renovating the bathroom and the cloakroom and we are into week four come monday. All sorts of problems from the plumber getting sick etc has caused major delays. Hope you are now happily playing with your new cardstock ! The other pack will be included in the next order as I saw Linda today.
