LOC Dear Friend

I had to pop back with a second post to show you something different - well for me anyway!

This cute little deer was part of a Blog Candy I won a year ago and it has sat on my desk looking for a home - it is printed on actetate and  I was not sure how to use it, so decided on adhering it to the Spellbinders S5-025 Label Seventeen and using the Die as a mask for sponging with Scattered Straw Distressing Ink.  Little Roses from Wild Orchid Roses, along with Kaiser Half Pearls create a frame along the lower edge of the Die.

until I was cleaning up my desk and decided to use it with the Layers of Color Sent With Love art stamp set  - so cute and definitely a touch of whimsical

I was also motivated my the challenges over at Cards Magazine to create cards using at least three different border punches! I have used the Stampin' Up Eyelet Border Punch (from the top to the bottom) Floral Doily Accent Shapeabilitie from Spellbinders and the Picket Fence by Martha Stewart for my three border punches.

This card is also for the following challenges:

Crafts and Me - flowers

Digistamps 4 Joy - anything goes

House That Stamps Built - animal

Inky Impressions - punches or dies

Simon Says Stamp - anything goes

Critter Sketch - Anything Goes

Make it Monday - always Anything Goes

Ooh La La Creations - Punches/Dies

There's Magic in the Air - Punches and Cuts (at least 3 die cuts or any type of punches)
