Everything
is coming up Spring (well, it is in most areas of the country,
anyway). Spring is when all the cute little forest creatures and baby
critters make their appearance, and we're ready to focus on that.
This week, our team made projects with the MFT Cute Critters stamp set and Amy Tangerine Stitched collection 6x6 paper pad. These products
and so much more are available at Cuttin and Stampin Scrappy Supplies.
My
challenge project focuses on love. Love can be any time of
year, not just Valentine's Day. Think a note in hubby's briefcase,
little card in kid's lunchbox, etc.
All
three of the patterned papers I chose were in the Amy Tangerine
"Stitched" pad. I used a Spellbinders label die to cut out the raccoon
and sentiment, but the card is only showing about 40% of the whole die
shape. As you can see, the heart is also only showing a portion of the
shape. Your investment in dies is so much more valuable when you flex
the creative muscle and realize you don't have to use the entire shape.
I
felt the "Love" paper was very bold to the point where it could be
overwhelming, so I only used a thin strip. The card itself is a very
dark grey and I used Memento dye ink in Grey Flannel for stamping.
As an aside, this card would be especially funny for me to share with my husband. He had an epic war with a raccoon a few years back.
