My card to share today is another one which has a cute little critter and a touch of whimsey. It began with the Walk In The Woods stamp set. After debating on how to showcase the stamps, I came up with a bit of fussy cutting and some DSP to create the scene.
The mushrooms and little hedgehog ( at least I think that is what he is?) seemed perfect for a watercolor look. They are made almost like a pen and ink drawing, so a bit of watercolor goes well. I used Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends along with Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends for the mushrooms. The hedgehog is colored all over with Light Crumb Cake Blend and highlighted with the Dark Crumb Cake. For the finishing touch I colored the background , white area, with Pool Party Light Stampin’ Blend.
After fussy cutting the stamped images, I found the perfect piece of DSP in the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper. I love how the green fades from one shade of green to another to. I added a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock as a layer on a Granny Apple Green card base.
The sentiment is from the stamp set. Since I have the white edge of the fussy cutting, I simply stamped the sentiment and cut using the Classic Label Punch. Can you believe this punch is retiring? So sad!
This card is not for a high school graduation. But I think it would be great for a elementary or middle school graduation. It would work for anyone off on a new adventure. And we all need that right now!!
Thank you for stopping in today. Please come back on Monday for another new project!
