Fu Man Chu Bear

Another card created because of the rainy, rainy day here in North Idaho. I cut the topnote out of very vanilla, masked the sun, and then sponged with marina mist, pool party, daffodil delight, tangerine tango, crumb cake, soft suede. Then I stamped the flowers/stems from the Nature Walk set. You inspire me is from the Petite Pairs set and is cut with the bitty banners framelits.

The background panel is daffodil delight and is embossed with square lattice. The ribbon is also daffodil delight.

To make the bear I used these punches: ornament, cupcake builder, fancy flower, 3/4" circle, and 1/2" circle. The eyebrows, nose, and whites of eye are from the cupcake builder. I cut the 3/4" circle in half for the ears and the 1/2" circle for the eyes in black. I stamped the bottom of the bear's chin with a cupcake wrapper from Create a Cupcake set to create a "fu man chu". I added brown rhinestone pearls to the eyes. I punched the fancy flower and then embossed with the square lattice EF. The bears face and body are done in soft suede.

FISHY Kiss

It's a rainy, rainy day here in North Idaho - boo! So I got in the mood for some paper piecing silliness ( :
I sponged the background topnote with pool party, marina mist, elegant eggplant and then stamped with grass from Inspired by Nature set. The background panel is Perfect Plum and embossed with Perfect Polka Dots. To make the fish I first embossed a very vanilla piece with the Vintage Wallpaper EF. Then I punched it out with the ornament punch and sponged elegant eggplant and marina mist; punched the ornament again out of black and cut off for the tail. I made the top fin and mouth with the cupcake builder punch. Added a pearl for the eye.  I used labels framelits for the fish background and sponged around the edges with elegant eggplant. Sending a Kiss is from the Petite Pairs set and is punched with word window and matted with modern label.  and voila!
