My good friend Tracey is the inspiration at MUSE #174, so I had to play along. I fell in love with the cute scene and critters in Tracey's card, so I pulled out some of my cute critters.
Tracey's Inspiration Card |
I started with a sponged background of Shabby Shutters on the bottom and Tumbled Glass above. I colored, fussy cut and popped up my deer, goose and bird.
I have to say that this is one of my favorite cards I have made recently, so thank you Tracey for the inspiration. I am also linking this card up at Just Us Girls #351: Sponging, Addicted to Stamps and More #202: Make Your Mark, Simon Says Monday Flora and Fauna, and Simon Says Wednesday Create a Scene.
My next card is inspired by this card below, done by Maile to highlight her newest stamp set.
I was inspired by the leaves, colors and design of Maile's card. I used the same three ink colors--Simply Chartreuse, Aqua Mist and Limeade Ice, leaves from Leave it Be, and a sentiment from Good Times.
Thanks for Visiting
Such an adorable little scene, Joyce ... aren't those little critters so cute! Gorgeous tropical leaves ... and fabulous texture ... just delicious! Hugs, Anita :)
