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!

Loll,
Everything 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.
Hugs,

Wow, 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

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.

The image on this gorgeous card is so cute, Loll but your colouring takes it to the next level. Anita Jeram could do no better IMHO! Love the CAS composition too.
Hope you are well,
