Sending a Paper Hug


 I found this older Inky Antics stamp that I've had for probably 8-10 years and decided to give it some love. I pulled out some pretty aqua cardstock and die-cut the sentiment panel with a Kat Scrappiness die, adding a computer generated sentiment. I stamped the image on white and colored it with Copics, adding some stenciled clouds with TE cloud stencils and tumbled glass distress ink, and then added a couple of stamped SNSS birds in the sky. I die cut the image panel with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle and called this one done.

I'll share this with the following challenges:

the Allsorts Challenge week #747 - four legged friends or A/G

Cardz 4 Galz - use a stencil, a sentiment, and an image

the Retro Rubber Challenge #216 - must use a stamp older than 1 year
with the following Tic Tac Toe Grid


I used the diagonal line from the top left down to the bottom right - animal, your choice (stencil), die cut or punch

Thanks for the visit and I wish you a wonderful day today!

What an adorable image Carol, sitting there looking at the clouds and wonder what they are saying to one another (animals do in my world!). Many thanks for sharing at Allsorts challenge this week.
