POMEGRANATE

Hi Everyone,
Hope everyone is having a nice week so far. I have finally decided to use a great stamp that's been sitting on my desk for about a week or two.

I love pomegranates so that's probably why this stamp caught my eye and of course that sparked me to buy it. Pomegranates are so yummy.

I finally got some free time to get this card designed and finished. So here it is.

I used my colored pencils and gamsol to color the image.Since there was so much while space left on the panel, I used one of my new stencils to add a filler using Old Paper and Ginger inks.  I also embossed the green CS with an embossing folder, adding more texture.

Also added a lattice die cut in brown CS to add more background and that orange CS has Wild Flowers punched around the edge.

The ribbon is actually seam binding and I used my Craft-Dee BowZ tool to fashion that bow. Like challenges?? Me too!! Craft-Dee BowZ's monthly challenge is going on right now, click here to pop over and check it out.

Anything Goes

This week's Art Impressions Challenge is "Anything Goes".What a theme that is, that means the creative door is wide open. So get your thinking caps on and enter a card in this weeks challenge.

I decided to get my Otis stamp out and let him tell me what he should be doing and where he is going. So here is Otis, waiting at an information booth outside in a local park.

Isn't he cute with his shorts and his knobby knees.He looks like he is ready to bird watch or take pictures or read the paper. And of course he's got his boom box with him so he can listen to some of his favorite tunes Since he has stopped at the information booth, I think he's trying to find the rest of his friends at the park. LOL
