PASTEL CHALLENGE SENT IN BY Sandra

I just LOVE the lil caterpillar on this card send in by Sandra of ROSEPETALCREATIONS Here is what Sandra had to say: "The background paper is from Papermania SUMMER BLOOM COLLECTION. I then punched a pale green pearlised oval out with a Nestie shape. Then using a different shape I punched three different sizes of the same design and layered them together. I added pink stickles round the edge of the larger shape and then this was positioned overlapping the top edge of the card. My image is called CAITY CATERPILLAR from Deedeesdigis, the sentiment is from the same set. To complete the look, I assembled some small flowers with punched sprigs of leaves."

PASTEL LAYOUT by Dawn & WELCOME new follower CV!

This is great! WAIT, I've heard of a spring chicken.. but a spring turkey?? Hey,, why not! LOL. Here is what Dawn had to say: "This is a funny one .. they are watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, but their jammies did not say “fall”. So, I made a pastel turkey! I think he sort of looks like a parade balloon!" Deets: Title and turkey are Silhouette files; both are embossed with the Cuttlebug Divine Swirls folder. All paper is from my stash. White Signo pen for the accents. What great inspiration to get us all thinking waaay out of the box!!
