SWEET PEONY

My peony's are in full bloom. I can't resist picking them and having them all over the house so I can enjoy them more and smell their beautiful scent. I even have a vase in the bathroom!
So it was an easy choice today to use the new Peony stamp from Clear Dollar Stamps for the CAS Challenge at Splitcoast.
Today's CAS challenge was a colour challenge. We were to use Kraft, Pink/Cameo and any other one colour. I chose Chocolate Chip.
This card was also created for the CCEE challenge. We were to create a card in honor of Dawn aka flowergal36. It had to have a flower on it. Click on the link for more details.

Card Supplies:
Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps~Peony & Just For You
Paper: Kraft, Regal Rose, Chocolate Chip
Ink: Chocolate Chip, White Staz-on
Accessories: Ribbon, Large Oval & Scalloped Punches, Bone Folder


Thanks so much for looking. I hope you have a great day and that flowers are blooming somewhere near you!

PURR-MANE-ENT FRIENDS

I had to make another card for today's Ways To Use It Challenge at Splitcoast called Creative Images. We were to create an image NOT using a stamp.

I have seen these sweet little punch animals popping up on peoples blogs and at SU Regionals.
So I gave it a try today.

I added some flower soft to his mane and tail. The grass is brown because it is very HOT in Africa (and it also went with the colour scheme I wanted..lol)

Card Supplies:

Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps~Zoo Critters(sentiment) ; SU~Inspired by Nature
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Paper: More Mustard, Chocolate Chip, Kraft
Accessories: Large & Scallop Oval Punches(sentiment and tail and feet), 1/2" circle punch(cheeks), ticket punch(ears), Nesties(mane, face and body), Spring Bouquet Flower punch(end of tail), Bird Call Embossing folder; photo corner punch paper piercer, word window punch, Nut Brown Flower Soft, two-way glue, double slot punch(nails on paws), chocolate marker

I am pleased with how he turned out....

Have a great day!

I used NEW stamps from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS for June. This adorable little guy is Patchpal Elephant. I also used the coordinating sentiment called Patchpal Sayings. Click on the link and check out all the cute little Patchpal animals.
