This is my sample for CC948. I am your hostess this week and I chose so saffron, calypso coral and mossy meadow for my color trio. Dessert option this week is designer paper.
I started my card with the designer paper. It's from the Stampin' Up "happy forest friends" collection. Then I built my scene from there. I decided to make a 5 3/4" square card because I didn't want to cut away too much of the paper.
I used animals from the CottageCutz "campin' out" collection. The fox is cut in calypso coral and then I sponged with the same ink to get a deeper shade. I did the same with the little bird.
The happy birthday phrase was stamped and colored with Stampin' Blends. That's my sample for this week.

Looks like we were both in the "cute" mood this week, Mary! Your forest scene is adorable. I especially love the bear with his banjo, but all the animals are so dear and whimsical! Great birthday card!

Mary, this scene is adorable! I had a feeling a little fox was going to show up in gallery when I saw the colors. They are perfect for your camping critters! (I actually tried to find a fox for my card but I'm in the middle of cleaning out my craft space and nothing is where it once was - so I changed course.)
