Splish-splash - Play in the Puddles

I had my eye on a number of challenges this past week, so I had to play around with the prompt at The Daring Cardmakers to create a card with a water theme.  I went with water in the form of rain and puddles, and I squished them on a slim line card so I'd have some height for those rain clouds. 

I stamped my critters (large and small) on brown cardstock and paper pieced their little umbrellas. I used a white gel pen to highlight a few areas on them.  They are all posed in their puddles. And that poor bear doesn't stand a chance of staying dry with that tiny little umbrella. 

Rain in the form of sequins.  

I hope you find some time to create!

H is for Happy!

I was inspired by The Alphabet Challenge to create a card with the word "happy".  And so here is a little dose of happy . . .

 Lots of color for this one.  

I hope you find some time to create!

Rise & Shine

Today's card was inspired by Time Out Challenges where the prompt was "Hungry"!   For this one I created breakfast for two on a gingham table top.

I will not lie, I had a great tie creating this one.  I used pattern paper for the tablecloth and plates.  I used a black glitter paper for my cast iron skillet. 

I used Nuvo drops for my syrup and Liquid Glass for my egg yolks.  

And I didn't have to do dishes after this one.  

Rise & shine crafty people!  I hope you find some time to create.

Sky and Sea for Just Add Ink

This current challenge at Just Add Ink is to create a card choosing two from the prompts sky, sea and trees.  I went with sky and sea for this card, and created a scene across three panels.  

I started by creating the sea and sky across all of my panels which were sized for an A2 card.  I tried to keep them well-aligned.  My front scene has the sand castle. 

You can just see that puffin peeking out from behind the castle as he flutters in the air. 

I adore that little crab!  Peeking behind that panel is another little puffin on the beach. 

So sea and sky!  

I hope you find some time to create today.
