Showing off the legs!

Okay, so that's a weird title for the post, but that's the challenge at Less is more...SOMETHING WITH LEGS!
... this is also for the Wee memories, Summertime theme..

 

 Stamps- Tag it's #2 and Signature Butterfly -PTI 

Furry boy- old hobby ideas stamp, colored with Distress ink-Fired brick.

Inks- distress-peeled paint and shabby shutters, Memento-Rose bud and pear tart, Tuxedo black.

 I loved the process of creating this card...I made the hill for my furry boy to do a cart-wheel and show off his legs! 

I used this tutorial by Kathy (The Daily Marker) to create the hill using my distress inks (Shabby shutters and Peeled paint)

 The furry boy is from an old Hobby ideas set. (p.s I've stamped him upside down...he does stand on his two feet)

This is post no#2 for today...there is still one more to go!!

Butterfly and Bling

This is the first time that so many challenges just fell into place for me. Everything just fit into the card I had in mind. This is a CASE of my own card here.

The theme this week at Less is More is butterfly/Butterflies...how could I not play!
Then CAS-ual Friday challenge is bling..how could I not add Bling?
And at Wee-memories, its Stamping! Simply Fabulous!!
Also this card uses Smriti's Simply Sketches #1.

We both loved Waltzingmouse Sketches, but since they have a requirement for using WM Stamps, which we both don't have. So she started her own sketch series...and I love the idea.
I've rotated the sketch a bit.

The flutter-by is from Hero Arts Antique engravings, the butterfly trail from PTI- Little lady and the sentiment is from 3 bugs in a rug- baby boy ( I think). The butterfly was stamped on CS and then layered with a embossed vellum butterfly. The bling took me so long to place, but loved it.

My flutterby ready for take off!!

I'll be off for vacation end of this week..will set some scheduled posts for next week...I might not be able to comment anywhere, but rest assure, I will stop by once I'm back. 
See you soon!!
