Linda Creates' Crafty Life

POM Wild Bunch is super popular this month so you'll want to make sure you get your order in sooner than later if you want it. This sweet Koala bear is sending you a quick note. The background is the Artisan Sketch Garden DSP. This is simple card with basic layers so it take no time at all to create.

Last Thursday on Crafty Connection Time (CCT), we created these cards using the spotlight technique and 167752 Artisan Sketched Garden 12"x12" Designer Series paper. I love black and white paper because it matches everything. Pick the background paper, cut out a circle (or whatever shape) and color that in. Use dimensionals to put it up. Make sure to line it up so the pattern matches. We made the 2nd card with at mat. The 2nd card was voted as the favorite.

Here are the cards created in two Crafty Connection Time (CCT). The first one we worked on coloring with sponge daubers and using the new White Gel pen (now a fav). The second one, we put the cards together. Using the blending brushes and the new stencils, create the card pieces and envelopes. These were originally designed at On Stage. The critters are from the Product of the Month Wild Bunch.
