Over at the Paper Smooches - Sparks Challenge its an 'Anything Goes' theme, which is always fabulous. One of the things I was trying to water colour was a little Paper Smooches 'chickie' and it turned into this:
Yet another stamp set I purchased second hand a few months ago and still haven't taken for a spin!!
I die-cut a rectangle from white CS and adhered to the card front and stamped the sentiment. I die-cut the umbrella and handle from patterned papers and popped up on foam tape, along with the chickie. A sprinkling of yellow and clear sequins finished it off perfectly.
The chickie and sentiment stamps are from Paper Smooches 'Chubby Chums'. The umbrella and handle dies are also Paper Smooches 'Baby Shower'. The sequins and stitched rectangle die are from Pretty Pink Posh. The lemon paper is from American Crafts 'Serendipity' and the wood paper from Kaisercraft 'Happy Snaps'.
I have three other challenges I would like to enter:
Simon Says Stamp - World Card Making Day Challenge
Happy Little Stampers - October CAS Challenge
Little Tangles Challenge # 61
We had a wonderful day today full of fishing, playing at skatepark, walking the dog and playing soccer at home. We are all pretty tired but I have so many cards I want to make. Better get out my emergency stash of M&M's for energy!!!
Take care
Shona
