Prima - Breathe Paper pad - 24 cards

I'm back with another paper pack used up. This time it was a 5x7 pad called Breathe from Prima. It was missing some pages, but I had at least 3/4 of it and made 24 cards. It's not theme specific so once again I made a wide variety of cards.

Here is all of them:

most cards are the usual A2 size, but I found a large pack of 5x6.5 black cards and envelopes, so I used some of those too.

Here are some fun loving ladies from AI

and some cute House Mouse - I used a glaze on the jar, so it looks shiny and glassy

Cute Panda Card for Joy of Sets Challenge

This month I have the honor of being a guest designer at Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe Challenge blog.

Here is this month's challenge:

and here is my card

I used the last column: Animals - Ombre - Fussy Cut

For my ombre background I used a variety of green Stampin Up inks and then I ran it through this die, that doesn't cut, just makes a pattern on your paper.

Challenges:

Fab 'n' Funky - Creature

Cute Card Thursday - Masculine

Alphabet Challenge - Earth Bound Animal

Sunrise deer

Here is a card I made for Cardz4Guyz challenge - they want us to use a die cut as a main feature

The background was created with acrylic paints - the cheapo/dollar store kind - but they create an interesting texture in the background.

Challenges:
Cardz4Guyz - Die cut as main feature
Crafty animals - Anything Goes with Animals
Watercooler Wednesday - Anything Goes
Krafty Chicks - Anything Goes

Seahorse on watercolored background

Some time ago I was playing with paints and created a whole bunch of watercolor backgrounds, some of them mixed with shimmery stuff like PearlEx. Now I started using them :)

I embossed the seahorse with black EP to make it stand out more.

Country View Challenge - blues and greens
Challenge Up Your Life - Vitamin Sea
Take It Make It - Anything Goes
