Sunny Days

 


Inspired by the sketch/ombre challenge in a CAS style, this rabbit knows where she is going - to the beach obviously.

I masked the panel across and sponged d. ink to get the bands of colour.  Stamped the rabbit on white card which is fussy cut.  Sentiment, rabbit and starfish stamped directly onto panel.

Image & sentiment: Colorado    

Also: Distress inks

Miss Froggy

 Yes, I'm back.  We had a lovely six weeks river cruising in Europe.  Crafting withdrawl is now over!  We had northern summer temperatures of +30 most days (whew) and  up to 42 deg; now reality bites with the southern winter (around 10 deg C).


Miss Froggy and her itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini - says summer to me.  It looks like she chose a tropical holiday... let's go there!

I wanted a CAS style so the embossed background is ink sponged just on the edges to show up texture, then a smooshed splash of water added for her lilypad to float on.  She is coloured and fussy cut, with added gold dots as frogs are usually adorned with.
