Taking on a Few Challenges

Hi Everyone! 

Just a quick post of a card I made for Retrosketches, Colour Q, AAA Challenges and Shopping Our Stash.  I have had these bunnies in my stash for about a year now.  What on earth was I waiting for???

Are they not adorable!???!!!  They are from Lawn Fawn's Hello Baby set. 
It seems I am always in need of baby cards, so when I saw this Retrosketch (which I flipped)~

And these colors~

I could not resist!  Especially since I wanted to play along with a couple of other challenges involving cute critters-AAA Card  Challenges- 'Woodland Animals' and Shopping Our Stash-'Cute Critter Alert'. 
I watercolored the background with my Peerless Watercolors and used my ever favorite twine, Hemptique twine. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful rest of the week!

Add A Little Dazzle/ Lawn Fawn Bog Hop (Day 3) & Challenge #37

Hi Everyone!  

It's time for Day 3 of the Add A Little Dazzle and Lawn Fawn  blog hop and Dazzling Diva Challenge #37! Both design teams have joined forces to bring you a week of stamp and Add A Little Dazzle Craft Metal Sheet inspiration.  Get ready for a week of amazing projects!

Our challenge this week fits in nicely with the great Lawn Fawn products- use a word die.  Lawn Fawn has some darling word dies and they look great in Add A Little Dazzle craft metal! 

Our Challenge~

Is this not the cutest set!?  I just had to have these cute critters from Hello Baby.  I am always in need of a baby card and these are sooo sweet!  Notice the darling crown on this handsome prince- I stamped and fussy cut the crown out in Pefect Peacock craft metal, matching the 'hello' word die.  

My background is water colored using Inktense pencils.  Did you notice the irresistable cat tails? They are die cut from Brushed Bronze craft metal.  

I framed the whole image with a circle window framethat I rimmed with Wild Wasabi cs.  A little baker's twine and a button finish off the card.

Shopping Our Stash has a fun challenge this week, of water coloring on our cards, so I am linking up there as I have water colored a pond!
AAA Cards also has a watercolor challenge this week~

To play along, make a card using this week's Dazzling Diva Challenge

Add A Littlle Dazzle and Lawn Fawn Blog Hop

Hello Everyone!

 It’s time for Day 1 of the  Add a Little Dazzle and Lawn Fawn Blog Hop!  Both design teams have joined forces to bring you a week of stamp and Add a Little Dazzle Craft Metal Sheet inspiration.  Get ready for an amazing week of projects!

  I just fell in love with this adorable Lawn Fawn Stamp Set, Hello Baby;  I love critters and these critters are just super sweet!  I started with my Speech Bubble Border Lawn Cut, die cutting some pink dp, follow by die cutting a negative space in the speech bubble layer, using my Hello Lawn Cut.
This speech bubble piece was adhered to a large white tag.  Next, I cut the Hello out in Princess Pink Craft Metal Sheet (How fitting is that for a sweet baby girl!?)  and inlaid it into the Hello negative space.  I stamped the darling duckie and colored her with Copics. I added a field of flowers around the duck and finished off the sentiment with 'sweet girl'. 
Using a Stampin' Up paper Doily, I cut the solid center circle out of it and then gathered the lacey portion of the doily and adhered it to the back of the tag, along the left side.
My white and light yellow layers are dry embossed for texture and the tag was adhered to these layers.
To embellish, I added a linen thread bow and a button, topped off with a Princess Pink aald Craft Metal heart that I die cut using my Hello Baby Lawn Cuts.  

Add A Little Dazzle Craft Metal Sheets are available here~

I got a little color inspiration from Colour Me...!
