Baby, it's cold outside!

Welcome!

A new week, a new challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad!
Our theme this week is : It's Natural.
Our generous sponsor is : Stitchy Bear - Berry Bear.

 

 

My choice of image, generously supplied by our sponsor  Stitchy Bear - Berry Bear is Backyard, a fabulous digital image with so many possibilities. I decided to use it as is in black and white. I layered it on mirror board and then onto a black card. 3 punched leaves were added as well as some glitter to the image. The sentiment was handwritten in silver and overwritten with my Gelly roll.

Here is my card:

 

 

After taking the photograph, I actually realized what depth this image has, and how beautiful it is. In a way, I think my sentiment really compliments the feeling of emptiness the image conveys!

 

Do come and join us with your nature inspired cards!

A card for all Seasons

Nana Vic's generously supplied a fabulous Seasons freebie on CDAC for the Vickie Quickie Challenge.

I decided to cut up the images and layer them on different shades of green to add one of the elements in the Desert Islands Craft Challenge (no9). The image already has a nature theme (no 7), and I added some extra leaves. I 'lifted' my 2 favourite seasons with foam tape to add extra dimension (no5). Although not quite Kraft, the card can go through for no 1 as well.

Hope you like my creation!

I'm joining a few other challenges too:
