I'm Wild About You Card

I just loved the Critters on the Savannah set from Lawn Fawn.  It's just too cute!  So after seeing all the amazing cards that others had made with it, I picked it up.  So here's the first of the cute cards that I scraplifted from the Lawn Fawn blog.  This one they found on Flickr by SweetMaeBell. 

So I spent some time playing with my new Spectrum Noir pens to color the stamps. This was my first time that I've really had the chance to use them and it was so much fun!  To finish it off, I played with my Mustard Seed and Wild Honey Distress Inks to make the background color.  I also added some Black Soot Distress Ink to the background I embossed with the Animal Print Sizzix embossing folder.  Then it was just a matter to put it all together and finish it off with some Hemptique twine.  Super cute and fun!

The hubby will find this card today as I'm off to DC for a quick meeting and he'll be holding down the fort at home with the fur babies. 

So Wild ... About You

I had some time to play in my craft room this week as I listened to hockey playoffs.  I usually hate fussy cutting things because, well, I'm impatient. Since I had lots of time on my hands in my room this week, I did spend some time fussy cutting for this card inspired by one I saw on the Lawn Fawn blog a few weeks ago.  I love their Critters on the Savannah set, but it's one I don't own (yet) so I had to settle for using the Quinn's ABCs set for the inside sentiment on my card.  Thankfully I have a Recollections set I bought on clearance at Michael's a while back that I thought would make a decent substitute for the animals.  I used some cute Love Me paper from My Mind's Eye for the background.  I pulled some polka dot paper from my scraps bin that I'm pretty sure is DCWV from an old (really old, but still very useful) Spring Stack.  I finally had a really good reason to use my animal print embossing folder from Sizzix that I bought several years ago on a trip to St. Louis where I went way out of my way to visit an Archiver's. Despite my loathing of fussy cutting, I'm really surprised t how quickly it all came together.
