Addicted to CAS Challenge #182


Hi there, blog friends! Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS ~ The wonderful Jaydee is our Hostess, and she is challenging everyone to create a card using the Code Word ‘Animal’.
                         

I started by stenciling the clouds and grass, then die cut the window. For my animal, I chose this cute little elephant from the MFT Birthday Buds stamp set...I added the confetti and colored both with Copic markers. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment and added a few details with my black and white gel pens...and this card was complete :)

We would love to see how the code word ‘Animal’ inspires you! If you would like to see inspiration from the Design Team and play along with us, come on over and check out the ATCAS Blog ~

Since this is a brand new stamp set, I am also entering this card into Darnell's newest NBUS Challenge. Here are the rules...


I KNOW you have a basket or box full of stamps, dies, and stencils that you haven't used yet...Go on ~ pull them out and check out Darnell's challenge blog :)

Thanks so much for stopping by,






Supplies:
Stamps: MFT - Birthday Buds
Dies: Penny Black - Antique Frame
Stencils: MFT - Mini-cloud Edges, Drifts/Hills
Misc: Copic Markers

Oh my goodness, Barb, this is the sweetest. I just love the colored confetti coming from the trunk of that happy little elephant. The deckled edges look great framing him out. I hope you had a Happy Easter despite these strange times...

This is such a cute card, Barb. I love the soft colors, the deckle edge, and of course the confetti snorting elephant.

Barb, I absolutely HEART this card. That wonderful little elephant blowing confetti against your fabulous background just steals my heart. Oh... love the die you used to cut out the frame, too! All-round perfection!
