Animals – Moments of Crafting

Hello and welcome

We are back with an Inspiration Photo for Challenge #258. It’s Leap Year, and our new challenge opens on Leap Day! We thought it fitting to have some leaping inspiration in the form of a frog!

We are generously sponsored by Lawn Fawn. Our challenge winner will receive a $25.00 Lawn Fawn store credit and an offer to Guest Design at Time Out for a future challenge.

After loooking through my stash, I found a frog stamp set from Katzelkraft. It hadn’t been used before.

After stamping the frog and watercolouring with Distress inks, it was fussy cut and covered with Glossy Accents to give him some shine.

I also found a pretty Lilly Pad stencil from Artistcellar. I inked a piece of green card with Evergreen Bough ink, then brushed some ink over the lilly pads with some greens. Finally the panel was sprayed with Glimmer Mist.

The panel was then added behind a MFT stitched rectangle frame made from the back of a coffee box. Love that kraft colour. The ‘Hello” die is from Avery Elle was added along with the frog.

The sentiment is from MFT- Sunshine & Friendship stamp set.

Please head over to our blog to check out the wonderfully inspirational work by the rest of the Design Team! I hope you will find the time to join our challenge this month.

Hello and welcome

Happy Saturday everyone. It’s time for a new challenge over at LIM. The challenge is to create using the theme: Anything Goes – Keep it CAS!

This week my card features the fun pup from Newton’s Nook – Delightful Doxies stamp set.

After ombre ink blending a piece of card with my old Adirondack – Denim ink pad, it was cut into 3 panels using SSS – Stitched Rectangles dies.

The panels were then put on the card front, along with the pup and the kite.

The sentiment is from Newton’s Nook – Porch Swing Friends and Cocktail Mixer stamp sets.
