Mid-April Creations

The current challenge at Tiddly Inks Challenge is to create a card that includes a circle (has no corners, squares or rectangle backing allowed.)  I  sketched the large cookie background out onto a circle of kraft cardstock, added a bit of texture with a tan marker, then used markers in several shades of brown, and a white gel pen to create the yummy chocolate chips. had fun making a circle card using Tiddly's sweet set named "Cookie Bugg." Am entering it into another challenge that also requires a card that includes a circle.

My final card includes a wonderful Vintage Pooh stamp set from All Night Media. Created a honey jar shaped card with a sentiment that I printed off on my computer (the font is a free one named Disney.) So fun! I made the honeycomb background by tapping a  golden yellow ink pad across a scrap of bubble wrap, laying it atop the shape card and firmly rubbing the back of the bubble wrap.  Finished the background by scattering pooh related images across the card front with brown ink. Am entering it into a few challenges including  Double D's "Twine" Challenge and Simon Say's Monday Challenge inspired by the story of Pooh.

  5. What a delightful trio of cards! Each one is so absolutely unique and lovely in its own way. I love the amazing coloring job you did on the yummy chocolate chip cookie card and the dimension and texture on the flower basket is amazing! On the third card, I thought you were so clever in representing so many Pooh details. Gorgeous work here and we're so glad you shared it with us at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!
