CAS Toadstool

 


I have been having fun with these dies, using different colourways to get different effects.  This is CAS.  I used colour Infusions powder for the background which is lovely and twinkly and very subtle, the dies are The Greetery with a little Opal Dust frosting.

House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge is here:  housemouse-challenge


I love this scene under the raspberry bush - it's my favourite fruit too.  All it needs now is chocolate to be perfect, and I'm sure the mousies will have some stashed away in the bushes for afters.

We Miss You

 


Critter Crazy challenge is all about animals - they must be the focus of the work.  Check out the design team inspiration and join us here:  Critter Crazy Challenges


I  made this for a friend of ours who is a retired farmer and a real character.   We usually play cards (500) with him every week, but he has been seriously ill and we miss him a lot.  We know he misses his animals too.  

The card fold is from Beccy's Place, the animal stamps are Woodware.  The speech bubble die is X-Cut, sentiment and letter dies are unknown.  Also cards from a real mini pack, rectangle stitched die.  Other sentiments are either handwritten by me or unknown.
