SCS Inspiration Challenge #199

Published by rainy at 12:20 am under Cards, SCS Challenges

I’ve been having so much fun this week playing along in several challenges. This card is for Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge #199.

Here is the cute little dress at The Pajama Squid that inspired it.

This came together really fast. I first stamped the grass and then used the “Bird Call” Cuttlebug embossing folder to dry emboss the image over it. After inking up my mirror stamp, I ran it over the embossing to highlight it. I also sponged around the edges.

Hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful weekend!

Happy Crafting!

Susan, this is just fabulous. The stamped grass actually give the cuttlebug grass some extra dimension.
