Smile - Critter Portraits!

Hi Everyone!

Michelle here from the Design Team with a happy little card that’s sure to bring a smile. This bunch of cute critters have all been captured in their post poses for you all to see.

Supplies used:

Hey There Critters

Plant with Heart Leaves - Purrfect Day

Smile Inverted Scallop Frame Dies

Spiky Plant - Home Sweet Home

A5 Woodgrain Stamp


For all the critters, I stamped and coloured them all with alcohol markers and added white gel highlights. For the picture frames, I created them all myself in a design tool before printing them out and colouring them in your traditional frame colours of yellows and browns.

To create the background, I lightly ink blended a piece of white cardstock with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide with the edges being slightly darker to give it some depth. I then stamped over the ink blending with the spiky plant stamp from Home Sweet Home stamp set in a random pattern to create a cool wallpaper look. 


For the floor, this was created from the woodgrain clear stamp and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide on kraft cardstock.

Once all the main parts were done, I hung up the framed critters on the wall and added plant pot for a cozy finishing touch. 


The sentiment “Smile” sentiment was die cut twice from white cardstock with one of them being ink blended with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide as the shadow layer. I think it wraps up the card perfectly!

This one would be so lovely to send as a cheerful hello or just to brighten someone’s day.


Hope this card gave you something to smile about!

Michelle
