Into you…

2010 February 9
Hi everyone,

Today I wanted share another card created with chin-chou kuik's My Buddy.

 
 
This image has such a woodsy feeling that I tend to use earthy-woodsy type colors every time I color this image.  If you stopped by the Sweet Pea Stamps DT blog on Monday, fellow DT member Randi  featured ATC's created with chingchou kuiks Fantasy Art Collection.  She pointed out that the stamps are the perfect size for ATC's.  I had one of those "duh" moments.  Since coloring doesn't take me long – the design of a card does, I may have to venture into the world of ATC's and play a litte more with this gorgeous stamp.    Which reminds me,  Sweet Pea Stamps' February Customer Challenge is ATC's.  Definitely worth your while to check out the Sweet Pea Stamps DT blog  for all the details.
 
chin-chou kuik's My Buddy  is one of my favorite images, perhaps because it evokes memories of my childhood roaming the forests in Germany or perhaps because of the frog. I'm not a big fan of real frogs, but love love love frogs in my paper crafting world. Weird – I know…. :-)

Since my desk is covered with bit of scraps, embellishments and ribbon pieces, I tried to lessen the pile by using some of the embellishments from my scrap pile on this card.  I love it when I can use up my scraps.

I put the sentiment which comes on Plate 22 on the inside of the card:

 
A quick card which any nature lover would enjoy, don't you think?
Make sure to head over to Sweet Pea Stamps to check out that latest sale.   And while you're there, you should check out the Fantasy Art Collection sentiments grab bag special…. what a great deal and a great way to get 6 unmounted sentiments from the Fantasy Art Collection.   Can't ever have too many sentiments :-) .
