Sale-a-bration Fun: Hello There

 

Happy Tuesday,

Ann Marie has a fun sketch for the Paper Players challenge this week. It has lots of layers and I took the opportunity to use up some stashed patterned papers.

I hadn't used this new Sale-a-bration set, Jungle Pals, yet and I decided I wanted to use it for my card. When looking through my SU DSP I found the Animal Expedition papers and voila, a perfect paring. In addition to the stamp set, I used some of the coordinating Jungle Pals dies, a Sale-a-bration option as well. These I cut from white card stock and ink blended the colors. The centers of the flowers are sparkly, light yellow enamel dots from SU.

The background is created using a Spellbinders embossing folder and lightly rubbing an ink pad over the raised areas. In this case, I used Gina K Designs Key Lime ink.

Here's the inside of the card using more of the Animal Expedition DSP and another of the cute critter images.

My plans for the rest of the day are as follows:  cut some batting for a quilt that I'm helping a friend make so we can send it for the quilting (the top she has finished piecing and the backing is all prepped), then I have two Congrats cards to make. One for a friend that is retiring on March 1 and the other for friends that just bought a new house and are moving from Oregon back to California. (I'm so happy that they will be closer again.) I hope you have some fun, crafty plans too.

Thanks for checking in,

Colleen
