As You See It: Guest Designer

Mornin' y'all, and guess what?  Today I'm a guest designer at As You See It Challenges!  Check out this recipe challenge:

Oh yeah, I can work with that!  Here's what I made:

I haven't played much with the Hearts & Hugs stamp set so I chose this pair of walruses for my main image.  For the texture or embossing element, I die cut a circle of Garden Green cardstock, misted it (with my stamp cleaner because my water misting bottle had apparently walked off), and crumpled it up, then flattened it back out.  I also used a distressing tool on the edges of the water pattern from the Otterly Adorable DSP.  I have some Garden Green twine, I used two different dies, and of course I colored in my walrus couple with Stampin' Blends.  I'm sure I could make lots of variations with this recipe!

Thanks to the team at As You See It for inviting me to be a guest designer, it's been fun!

Mouse Hugs

Happy Friday, y'all!  We've got a busy day ahead with hopefully having the new tile floor laid in our shower, and I am working on taking pictures of a whole bunch of stuff I want to sell.  Wish me luck on that, we really want to get rid of stuff!

But not any of my stamps and crafty supplies ; )  Here's today's card:

I got Hearts & Hugs before we moved this summer but this is the first time I've inked up any of the cute huggy animals.  I'll be entering this at the Anything Goes challenge at Critter Crazy Challenges; my mouse may be small, but she's the main focus of the card.

Next up is a great sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments:

And finally the colors from Creative Colour Challenges:

I figured Gray Granite and Melon Mambo were perfect for my heart-holding mouse, and the Night of Navy made a good contrast to the other two colors.  And I even have Melon Mambo embossing powder in my stash from back when we had lots of different color options.  Fun!

That's it for me today, peeps.  Cheers!
