Karen Burniston's March 2015 Designer Challenge - First Card

Welcome to the first day of Karen Burniston's March Designer Challenge - this month Karen Challenged us to "Make Them Laugh".  There are so many great humorous stamps out there, it was fun choosing which one to use.


I rarely go and purchase something just for these challenges, but I had dropped into Paper Pastimes in Calgary to say HI and bring Carole a Pop it Ups card sample. Of course I had to do a little shopping too. As soon as I saw this Impression Obsession stamp I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it for the challenge.


This card was just SO much fun to make!  I'm loving Buster the Dog cut from peach patterned paper.  I added Glossy Accents inside the mask, on the tub spout, the raised bubbles and the claw feet.



I like the look of a circle layered onto the Lorna Label, but this circle was too big and covered too much of the label. So I cut the label in half and adhered it on either side of the stamped circle and ... problem solved!


Love that little duckie. I save most of my glittered scraps, so cut it from one of those scraps and added colour with Copics. The smallest black Glitter Dots make a perfect eye!
