The Best View...

Hey there! 

I've got another scene that I put together using stamps from the Great Outdoors release at Hello Bluebird to share with you today. The raccoon and fox are both part of the Happy Trails set and as soon as I saw that fox with his binoculars I knew I wanted to color them onto a clifftop vista. The forest below them was put together using the small pine tree stamps from the Sledding Party set. Once I had sketched in the cliff and the grass I added a few flowers from the Summer Joy set for a pop of extra color around these cute critters. The sentiment is from the Which Way set and it is so perfect for this story of them hiking up the mountain to take in the view. The Nesting Deckle A2 dies add a rough and rustic look to the finished card that I really like for this outdoorsy theme.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!

A royal celebration...

Hi there!    

This mini slimline is the last card that I made for the Sunshine and Daydreams release at Purple Onion Designs. Of course I had to pair Queen Lioness and King Lion together for a very royal scene. They are holding court in the forest thank to the new Woodsy Background. How regal they are in their golden crowns and velvet capes, all of the other forest critters are bound to bow down before them in awe, LOL! The sentiment is another one from the Sunshine and Daydreams sentiment set and I split it into two banners so that it would fit in the tighter space of the slimline design.

I hope you have a royally fantastic day!

Hi Sweetie...

Good morning!

Every month, design team member Allison, hosts a Pen Pal card swap in the Friends of Sweet November Stamps Facebook group. The theme for June was 'nature' so I wanted to create a sweet summer scene for my pen pal. I ended up pulling out the beautiful girl and her playful pup from the Bountiful Blessings: Cherry on Top set and I colored in a lazy stream behind them. I tried my best to make the red and greens as un-Christmasy as possible, thus the mostly white dress with just the tiny red polka dots. My Pen Pal is a dog lover so I also tried to color the puppy to look like one of her four legged friends.  :)

Have a sweet day!
