 For my second project I decided to highlight this adorable Candi Bean illustration called "WILD THING"  I wanted to make certain that her and her four legged friend really popped!  Her friend is simply adorable and so cuddly too1  Her hair is luxurious with that gorgeous braid and her little feet turned in is a real show of her affection!  The DP is soft and subtle but has all the coordinating colors to bring all the dies and colors together.

 I created the base of the card with the Darling Square Die Set.  Using the little extras that makes it so simple to coordinate, the two different sized flowers were layered and a brad was colored yellow with copics.  Then the little pearls in the center of the flower flourish were altered too, which are also in the Darling Square Set.  The Darling View,  Dewdrop Border and attached to the view finder style die is the Fluttered Tulip Bodice!!!  All of these dies were an absolute must to add more texture and a childhood friend feel to the card.  The Vintage Affections Sentiment set called "Friends" was a perfect final touch for the project.

 It's Tammy Louise sharing with all of my lovely followers on this last day of CHA!  This year the show turned out just magnificent!  Jody Stacy and I have been circulating images and talking to people while I've demo'd coloring and creating tags for the entire show.

 

I'm anxious to get home to me lovelies for sure, but I have had such a terrific time learning and sharing, peeking and experimenting that I can't wait to come back next year as well!  I guess that's called torn! lol

I've colored Leprechan Lara by MiRan in rubber exclusively at Treasured Times for today's project!  Coordinated with the gorgeous and lush Kingdom Green and gold paper by Michele Roos!  I place it on one of my templates int he shape of a Pot 'O' Gold and place my favorite little clover dies on ones side while filling the pot with every last one of my golden buttons in my stash!

Compliments from the other side of the Sea!

Good Morning everyone!  I have participated in a few of the Secret Santa projects this Holiday season.  It was my choice to participate and receive names of a crafty person from the states instead of sending my holiday greeting over seas.  It is easier to track the package, a bit less expensive so the gift can be larger, and it can be sent a bit later!  With my schedule this year, I needed those few extra days to prepare my packages.  

INGREDIENTS: 

Noor Happy Holidays Christmas Ornaments Die

Treasured Times Vintage Santa Sentiment

Shape EZ Whale template

Shape EZ Poinsettia template

Shapeology wave die 

I decided to make this project for all of my crafty friends over seas!  Sort of a Cyber Greeting card to bring some holiday cheer from the states!  I've created the Shape EZ Whale template and decorated it with part rubber sentiment and part home made one!  I've also created the Shape EZ Poinsettia template and paired it with a fabulous NEW set of Noor dies called Happy Holidays Christmas Ornaments Die which was perfect for that little bit of holiday bobble this project needed! 

 MEDIUMS: 

Momento Black Ink

Vintage Photo distress ink

 EMBELLISHMENTS: 

Ranger Glossy Accents

Coated string

holly berries from stash

Stickles star dust

 INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Earth and sky, woods and fields, 

lakes and rivers, the mountain and 

the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, 

and teach some of us more than we can 

ever learn from books.
