I knew I wanted to use Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzaz ( don't know where my brain picked that from). Since the color combination is a little modern and youthful I decided to use my Furry Folk set and went from there. I had a scene in my head but no paper to match SO I turned once again to My Digital Studio. I created the background paper using digital paper and stamps. It was rather fun and I am really starting to see endless possibilities with MDS.
I printed out this sentiment on whisper white card stock, then stamped the images around it. I just love this little hedgie! A little glimmer paper border, ribbon and jewels and it is finished. Non- holiday stamp with non-holiday colors.
I had some company in the closet while while I was working and had to post these pictures.

ReplyDeleteThis is really cute! And your furry company is adorable!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Love all the critters in your closet! I know, three months have flown by in a blink!
ReplyDeleteLove your color palette and the sparkliness of your card, Tara! That little porcupine is absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteI can see where you get your inspiration for such cute critters with all your friends hanging around! Your hedgie is adorable Tara and I love the clever way you've made your background paper...these colors are fantastic together! Fantastic take on my hoopla challenge, my friend!
ReplyDeleteTara B!! This is SO stinkin' cute! I love, love, LOVE how you created that background in MDS. As if I haven't mentioned it before, you are a creative ROCKSTAR! I have to admit, that critter set was never on my wish list until I saw the the fun creations you have made with it. I mean, seriously! You give them SO much personality. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe pics of Boo and Barney make me smile. Gotta love those "helpers"! Hoe your weekend was fun! I will send you a picture of my neighbor's Christmas lights, for the full effect. "I dedicate this house to the Griswold Family Christmas." Big hugs! )
Tara, this is great! I am sure you picked those colors because they are just a tad further down the color wheel from red and bright green. It worked really well!
ReplyDeleteAlso love seeing pet pictures. Yours are sweeties! I have a black cat, also, and her name is Cristabel. :)
Letting out a squeal as I am so totally taken in by your fabulous card, Tara! All the while I'm wondering where the sweet paper and snowflake elements came from - I am delighted to find they are from MDS and that I just downloaded them last week! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYou've done an awesome job as GD and I love your work.
Dear Tara.
