Hay!

Hello Crafty Friends!  Stoppin by to share my card I made using the new Cutie KaToodles's Scarecrow Cow  and Happy Fall Y'all from Kadoodle Bug Designs.  I am so glad we are getting closer to Fall, which where I live we really don't have a Fall, I still love all the things that go along with it!

I used DCWV burlap paper and the plaid paper is a paper I have had for years.  The cow is made with my stash of scraps.  The flowers are from the Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.  I inked the edges with chalk inks.  Used Faber-Castell PITT XS black pen for the eyelashes and a white sharpie paint pen for the highlights.

CDD's Linky Party-Photo Inspiration

 

 Hello Crafty Friends!  It's Monday again and you know what that means?  That's right, it's the beginning of Craftin Desert Diva's new 2 week Linky Party!  The theme for this Linky Party is:

Photo Inspiration

Photo for your inspiration

Come and join us for a chance to win one of two prizes!  

The Party Sponsors are: 

CDD-1 stamp set

TCBJ-$25 Gift Card
(reg. priced patterns)


Here is my card I made: 

I stamped the umbrella on 2 different cardstocks and cut them out and pieced it back together on the die cut umbrella.

I used the Fancy Frames on the gray cardstock then used the same die on the pink cs and inlaid it into the gray.  Then I used The Sky is the Limit dies to cut the cloud and the umbrella on the pink cs where I wanted them. I die cut the cloud and umbrella on the colored cs I wanted.  I then stamped the umbrella on 2 different pattern papers then cut them out and pieced it back together on the die cut umbrella.  This card is flat and not dimensional.  I used the heart from Wildly Cute and stamped it in pink, colored it in pink with my copic marker and went over it with Clear Wink of Stella glitter brush.  The sentiment is from the Rain and Shine stamp set.

Here are the CDD Products I used:

Fancy Frames

The Sky is the Limit stamp set
