Ewe and Me...

Hi all, I have a card for a couple of challenges today, I'm on a bit of a spring pastels roll and just had to join in at Color Throwdown this week with their wonderful pastel palette.

I was also inspired to use a new set I had got before christmas, with the new challenge set today by CAS-ual Fridays, which is looking for a play on words in our creations.



And here's my take:




I have used the very lovely set Lil' Buddies from Waltzingmouse Stamps. This set is stuffed with punny sentiments, and I took a while to choose this particular one - indecisive? Me? Maybe..




I stamped the trellis background directly onto a white card base, cut a pale blue panel, and stamped the heart frame onto a piece of white square card.



Then stamped the sweet little lambs in Memento London fog, cut out and mounted on top of the frame with some foam pads.

Before adhering to the card base, I wrapped some yellow baker's twine around the base, and added two fancy twine bows, topped with a gemstone.


Supplies Used:

Stamps: Lil' Buddies, Pic-Nic Patterns - Waltzingmouse Stamps

Ink: Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold Distress Inks; Memento London Fog

Paper: Core'dinations blue card; Neenah Classic Crest White

Other: Yellow Baker's Twine - The Ribbon Reel; Gems from stash


I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

CAS-ual Fridays - Use a Pun

Color Throwdown

Papercrafting Journey - Make it Cute

Crafty Catz - I Spy ..B for Bows, Blue and Bling!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
