Happiness Grows with Love and Care


Hi, Friends.....

I am back with another card that I made for the Winnie & Walter August Color Combo Challenge. Look at the wonderful color palette Heather chose this month:




NOTE:  I must apologize for my photography of late.  My phone takes lousy pictures and my camera is broken.  :(   In addition to those problems, this particular card uses papers and chippies with a glossy finish that produced a glare that was nigh unto impossible to remedy. Sigh....   I hope you can get an idea of what this card is supposed to look like!!!  I also used a tall format which further complicated matters in trying to get the whole card in focus.  Ugh!!!

Do you like the super-fun blue chipboard hearts on my card? My crafty pal Karen Ladd sent these to me a long time ago.....and I am ashamed to admit that I only recently found them buried in my stash!! THANKS, Karen!!! (I hope I am not the only one that loses things in their stash!!) They are the perfect color for this challenge and I think they go well on this tall format anniversary card.

I know you can't read the sentiment....but it says, "Happiness grows with love and care". Awwwww.....Aren't the little doggy and kitty sweet all cozied up together???!!!


Supplies used include:
Winnie & Walter - Big Hugs with Evelin T Designs stamp set
Winnie & Walter - Big Hugs with Evelin T Designs die set
Winnie & Walter - Kindness with Evelin T Designs stamp set (some minor stamp surgery was required to make this sentiment)
My Favorite Things Die-namics - Stitched Oval STAX die set
Distress Inks for watercoloring
DCWV scraps

I am so disappointed that I can't show you a better photo of this card, because it turned out really cute. Thanks for bearing with me while I locate a new camera!!!

  5. Oh goodness, that card is so cute (camera problems and all)! Love the sweet cat and dog image and the colors are beautiful together! Yay for you in using those chipboard hearts! I have those too, and I am sad to say that mine are still buried in my stash..haha! Now I need to pull mine out and use them for this challenge so we have coordinating designs. The DCWV background is also gorgeous!
