What the Cluck is new with you?

Hello Crafty Friends!  

Today I am up on Craftin Desert Diva's Blog sharing a card I made using Farm Living stamp set, Punny Farm stamp set, Stitched in Circle Dies, Flag Banner Dies, and Crazy Stitched Frame Dies.

This sentiment is one of my most favorites from CDD.  I made a little scene using the rooster and fence from the Farm Living stamp set stamped onto watercolor paper.  I then colored everything using distress inks as watercolors, scribbling them onto my craft mat and picking up with my wet brush.  I diecut the large stitched frame from Crazy Stitched Dies in white cs and then I partially diecut the stitched circle from Stitched in Circle Dies out of the frame.  I also diecut the rooster scene with the same circle die.  I popped up the crazy stitched frame using craft foam onto my card base, the rooster scene is glued directly to the card base.  I heat embossed with black embossing powder the sentiment from Punny Farm onto a banner from Flag Banner Dies.
*the design of the card is from a card I saw on Pinterest*

A Waddle Thanks-CDD Throwback Thursday

Hey Crafty Friends!  Today I am over at Craftin Desert Diva's blog to welcome you to Throwback Thursday where each Thursday we showcase an older stamp set and or dies.  

Today I am sharing an all time favorite stamp set of mine, Punny Farm and some older dies!  I just love the cute little critters and sentiments in this set.  I created a CAS (clean and simple) card today using the duck.

I did a technique that my DT sister, Jan, shared with us a while back showing how to stamp the reverse of an image.  (Go here to see post.)  I colored my images with Copic markers, the background is done with TH's distress inks spritzed with water.  The grass pieces are from Build a Scene stamp set.  The mat was cut from Mix It Up dies, speech bubble is from In Line Dies and the hill is from Outdoor Landscape Dies.
