Happy Weekend. I am popping in quickly to share a few cards I made before some challenges end. First up is this sweet little love scene between a pup and his best friend kitty. Sherlock saw this card and asked for his own porch swing and kitty, but it is not to be :(
After stamping, coloring and cutting out my main image, I used a piece of wood pattern paper to ground my image and created a cloudy sky for background. I hand drew some chains for my swing to hang from, trying to create a peaceful scene.
I am entering this card at Inky Paws Challenge #130: Create a Scene. I used the colors at Color Throwdown #607 and am also entering at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Oh So Cute.
Next up are two cards I have been thinking about and planning to make ever since I saw the Books challenge at Use Your Stuff #403...when I realized that the challenge ends today, I stopped dawdling and got my cards made.
I am also entering both of these cards at Cupcake Inspiration #500: Birthday Celebration, Seize the Birthday #197: No Topping, and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Oh So Cute.
Both of these cards pair a die cut book case with a cute image of a reading critter from Mama Elephant Book Worm.
That's it for me today. Stay safe and crafty!!
Thanks for Visiting
OH my goodness....simply sweet puppies in the swinging bench, just adorable!!! And I love both of your book cards, so much fun!!! Thank you so much for playing along with us at Cupcake Inspirations!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you don't want to give Sherlock a feline friend??? ;) This is an adorable card. And of course I love the two book-related cards! So glad you linked them up at Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteCute cards Joyce! That pair in the swing are extra sweet!
ReplyDeleteDon't those sweet critters look comfortable as they enjoy the swing on such a pretty day. Those big fluffy clouds like perfect! So glad you shared your card with us at Inky Paws!

goodness I so wish I could create like you! Haven't made a card in ages! These are both perfect for the challenges and card one such lovely soft colouring and adore that you teamed this up with the woodgrain. And super die....can think of a few TO challenges for 2021 you could use either of these stamps and dies for!!
ReplyDeleteI love these designs for Seize the Birthday challenge. Having time to read a book makes for a great day. Thanks for joining in the fun.

ReplyDeleteThese are just the sweetest! Your first card reminds me of my two dogs snuggled up together (one happier to be snuggled up than the other, but snuggled up anyway...). Thanks for joining us for this week's Color Throwdown!
ReplyDeleteThat NN image is the sweetest!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That card with the bespectacled reader is just darling. What a clever way to incorporate the bookcase onto a card. Thanks for joining us for our 500th challenge at Cupcake Inspirations.
