Stay Curious

Hi everyone.  Another adorable image from Anita Jeram (Colorado Craft Company).  This image reminded me of Jessie, so I HAD to buy it! :)  I can just see her with her head stuck in a pot, trying to find something yummy to snack on. :)

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.

Close-up ...
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. :)


And, I'm sending this card over to CAS on Friday Challenge #228 - Stencil.

Thanks for stopping by!

  20. Loll 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.
