Here are a few more cards that I've made for these challenges.
| Our challenge was to use wood somewhere on our card. I started with a light woodgrain from my designer series paper. I stamped the greenery in mossy meadow and old olive full strength then stamped again without reinking. I stamped the wheel off of the page in Sahara sand then stamped the horse in the center in early espresso. I stamped the sentiment on designer paper then used the sign design punch to punch it out. I punched out an early espresso piece and cut it in half to put behind the sentiment. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital. This is a retired Stampin' Up set called, Country Road. It was a lot of fun to get it inky again. |

I stamped the mouse then colored him with Copic Markers. I edged the top and bottom with poppy parade cardstock. Then I placed it on a wood background to match the mouse and added it to a poppy parade card base. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.
This is a very old House Mouse stamp called, Spitting Apple Seeds. I really liked this image because it reminded me of my childhood when in the summer we'd eat watermelon on our back patio and spit the seeds in the flower beds or at each other which ever was closer! LOL

See if any of these challenges appeal to you and give one or two a try.
I'll see you again soon.
Blessings,
Sue
