I kept this very CAS so that the image was the star. Watercoloured with distress inks, I finished the design by softly sponging clouds in the sky using a stencil.

Because this is the first outing for the stamp, I'm adding this card to the NBUS Challenge #37 (never-before-used-schtuff). I have a LOT of NBUS, so try to join in the challenge at least once a month. At this rate, it will take me about 20 years to get through my current NBUS pile. :)

Loll,
ReplyDeleteEverything about this creation is wonderful!!! Beautiful coloring of doggie image, lovely CAS design and layout, and my favorite touch of all is the delicate stenciled cloud. Absolutely delightful! Thanks for the inspiration.

This one gave me a chuckle, Loll.

ReplyDeleteWow, that's a big pile of NBUS, but I know we are all the same. Lots of supplies and not enough time to use them all. Love your little dog stuck in the pot and a great sentiment to go with it. A perfect little CAS card xx

ReplyDeleteLoll, that image is so darn adorable, you're tempting me with the Anita Jeram image ♥
ReplyDeleteLoll what a gorgeous fun card, the image is beautifully coloured and I love the soft clouds. This card so reminds me of my Frenchie Rosy every time I place a plant pot on the floor she has her head in it. Thanks for making me smile with this super card and sentiment.
