I have to admit: everything Mutnik uploads is under constant scrutiny! Unbeknownst to all, I look very closely at all the details. Nothing escapes my watchful eyes! Alas, no matter how closely I look, I have no clues as to how she does what she does!
Cathy Bomgarnder, aka Mutnik, a newbie to SCS,
sent me this adorable card that I have been carefully reveiwing for 3 days - all to no avail. I have no idea how she created a border over the beautiful california landscape, nor do I have any idea how she colored or embossed this adorable bear.
Despite my ineptness at being able to figure out the details, I have to thank Cathy for this adorable card. She and I have something in common: Sacramento, CA. Yes, for the California girlz!!!
If you love fun, hilarious cards, please do yourself a favor, take a short break and go on a journey through Cathy's amazing gallery:

Thanks Anne for posting my card. I had a blast making this because it was being made for someone special....you.
Here are a few details about the card: bear, bird, grass-Stamps by Judith; SU-itty bitty backgrounds; cloud-stencil from Judith. Images colored with prismacolor pencils w/gamasol. I made the border using my very first *homemade* stamp. I was driving to my next pool thinking, as I often do, about how to do a checkered border. Stopped, took my utility knife and a pencil, carved the sides off the eraser and a stamp was born. I couldn't wait to try it, so I scribbled with the pencil, erased with my *new* stamp and then stamped it on my daily sheets to check it out. It worked! Boy, did I clean that next pool fast so I could get home and really try it out!
Thanks to all who have viewed and commented on this card. You are the best! TFL :0)
