Aviary card for Monkey Sketch Challenge #97

I finally cracked open my pack of Nursery Nest dsp and found these adorable patterns. The little owl in Aviary matches the paper, but I got the cake from Gnome Sweet Gnome and the sentiment from Send Me Soaring.

I kept true to the sketch with the addition of the LOVE tag (Hearts Trinkets) tied onto the dotted scallop Marina Mist ribbon with Whisper White Baker's Twine. There are three Pear Pizzazz Decorative Label punched pieces cut in half and adhered to the top and bottom of the strips.

I've designed almost 100 sketch challenges, so be on the lookout for Blog Candy!



Gnome Sweet Gnome sprinkling happiness card



It was fun to paper piece this little gnome's hat and apron with Cheery Treat dsp (hostess paper). The watering can, bunch of flowers, gnome and sentiment are all in the Gnome Sweet Gnome stamp set, featured in the Occasions Mini Catalog. This was one of the four cards I made for a class last week. I used an aqua painter and ink pads to color the images.
