Smile!


Here's a happy card that's heading to cards for hospitalized kids. This is an Inky Antics image that I colored with Copics. I made a mosaic horizontal border with lots of little scraps from an autumn paper pad and some gold embossing powder. The kraft panel was done with a SB M-bossabilites "So Trendy" folder, while the sentiment was done with a SU! stamp and matching punch. I added some big gold brads, and a piece of paw-print ribbon for the finishing touches. The card base came from a paper pad I bought on QVC when they first began selling craft supplies eons ago! The cover is long gone, so I don't know who made it.  I'm entering this card into the following challenges...

Shopping our Stash #166 - A, B, C's - Animal, Brads, Circle

Tuesday Morning Sketch #264 - I took some liberties with the main image panel by staggering the layers

Tuesday Throwdown #210 - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Work it Wednesday - Use Stamping on your project

Snippets Playground #139 - Must Use Snippets
