Wishing You A Happy Day!

Hello Everyone!

Michelle from the Design Team here and I bring to you some friendly crocodiles and their sweet little neighbours wishing you a happy day!

One of my favourite things to do is that I like to mix and match my stamp sets so that I get more from them. Today’s inspiration uses the following sets:

• Snappy Before Coffee
• Sweet Cart Critters
• Cactus, books, cup - Home Sweet Home
• Pie - Baked with More Love
• Sentiment - Birthday Cake

To make the card, I stamped all my images onto white cardstock with the exception of the windows. These were something that I made myself but is very easy to do - its just drawing a lot of rectangles, squares and having a little patience! I coloured the images with alcohol markers and added highlights with a white gel pen. 

The background is a panel of white cardstock that has been die cut with a stitched rectangle die and then ink blended with a brick stencil and pink ink.

For the sentiment, I kept this simple. I heat embossed this onto black cardstock with white embossing powder and die cut it with a banner die.

The fun part was laying out all the windows and deciding what was happening in each one. I wanted some of the windows to tell a story - the crocs having a brew to catch up on where to go after their beach holiday, a cute little crew that are either eyeing up the delicious smelling pie or wondering what is happening outside. For the other windows, just warm homey touches such as cacti, books and of course a buzzy bee! 

I hope you all enjoyed the card.

Happy Crafting,

Michelle
