kind of crazy

 hello snarky stampers!

A huge congrats to the sisters at the sisterhood of snarky stampers for their #200 challenge - what a milestone!

I couldn't resist getting in on the celebration, and so many snarky sayings to choose from... where to begin?

I began with an ink smooshed panel and a newly purchased die from Paper Smooches,  Kind Bear.  I die cut him from black, and from another ink smooshed card, and then die cut the flower from pink and from green for the stem and leaf. After piecing him altogether, I adhered it to the panel. The sentiment from Tim Holtz Big Talk was popped up on black card, edges inked, and adhered to the panel. The finishing touch was some inking around the edges and then dotted lines around the perimeter using a fine black marker. The panel was then adhered to a black card base.

I'll enter this in the NBUS blog also!

Thanks for stopping by!

warm wishes

 hello lovely stampers!

Hope you all had a lovely holiday season - it's been a relaxing time here which has been very enjoyable!

Today I have a card for the CAS colours and sketches challenge #450 milestone celebration challenge, congrats to the CC&S team!

I chose sketch challenge #428 from July 2021 and wanted to use a newly purchased stamp set from MFT.

I couldn't resist having the cool bear in the square shape - such a cute image, and the CAS design really puts him on centre stage!

I die cut the centre square using an Hero Arts Infinity Squares die from red card. Then I stamped the image from MFT Cool Day on white card and paper pieced his sweater, Santa hat, mug and hand from various coloured papers, and glued them in place. Then this image was die cut using the next smaller size square die and glued onto the red square. The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped directly on the card panel and the squares popped up on foam tape above. The panel was lastly adhered to a red card base. 

Such a sunny day here made the shadow quite strong! Thanks for stopping by!

Edit: Thanks to the lovely team for awarding my card as a winner for this challenge!
