Whoo is Owl-ways on My Mind?

Hi Crafty Friends,
I LOVE the owl stamps from Ink N' Splatter. The Owl-some Owls set has two boy owls and two girl owls. This scene features the two boy owls, I used the stumps to make it look like the older owl is telling a tale to the younger one. The little mug he is holding is from the Wise Owl Stamp set so you can mix and match them.

Q: Who is Owl-ways on your mind?
A: Me? Maddie, My pup

Thyme For Spring

Hi Crafty Friends,
I hope this card inspires you to plant some fresh herbs and embrace your green thumb. I used Poppy Stamps Flower Pots and Stems to create these cute little herb pots.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you grow herbs? Which ones?
A: Me? No, but my sister grows a ton of basil and rosemary

 

I started my card by creating the background using Poppy Stamps Criss Cross Heart Stencil with Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn Ink and splattered with green and white paint.

I mounted the Poppy Stamps Scalloped Stitched Frames in two different shades of green cardstock and then mounted the entire background on a kraft cardstock card base.
I layered the cute flower pots with just the leaf dies to look like herbs in the center of my card and finished with the darling sentiments from the Poppy Stamps Spring Banner Stamps & Dies.
