Critter Crazy Challenge # 111

Hello and welcome to my blog.

This is my Design Team card for the June Critter Crazy Challenge. Challenges start on the 1st of the month and are anything goes. but you must include an animal of some sort as the main focus. This is in the broadest sense of the word and can be furry, feather or insect etc. 

The main focus of my card is the  Maximumcrafts Celebration Bear die set which I got as part of one of Maxine's workshops. I made the card for my niece who recently had a baby girl. 

I also used the following:

7x7 card blank
Card/paper: White, Cream, Light Pink, Mid Pink, Dark Pink mirror card
Dies: Maximumcrafts Crochet Circle, Tonic Ovals
Misc: stamp from my stash, Dotty embossing folder

Babies are such sweet beginnings

Hello,

We've got a new challenge over at the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge blog starting today, and lasting for about a month. The theme as always is Fantasy, but as long as it's Fantasy pretty much anything goes. If you're not sure what we mean by that just check out the guidance in the side bar on the blog.

Here's my DT card, which will hopefully give you some inspiration - it's a new baby card for a friend. 

Card recipe

Joanna Sheen CD Daisy Christmas Fairy

Promarkers: Almond, Blush and Rose Pink
