Inspired By All the Little Things Challenge #71 Featuring Colleen Foelker

Colleen picked this photo inspiration for us

So much inspiration here, I took a bit of this and a bit of that and

came up with this:

PTI: Cloche Quarters, Cloche Quarters Winter Fillers, Wonderland set, 

Mix & Mat: Berry Boughs, Noted: A2 dies.

Easter Bunny

Greetings my friends!

I'm so excited to be guesting on the 

Inspired By All The Little Things blog this week!

This is our inspiration:

Isn't he grand? 

I turned this inspiration into an Easter card,

one with plenty of rustic texture.

The bunny and eggs are from PTI's Bunny Basket.

All the ferns are from PTI's Gathered Garden.

Sentiment also from Bunny Basket.

Paper is made to look like a weave, and I backed it

with a strip of burlap, frayed on all edges.

Did you notice the whiskers and tail?

3 pieces of string and a fuzzy pom.

Hope you get a chance to play along.

I can't wait to see how the photo inspires you!

Happy Crafting!

Love Always

This morning sees a bit more light for photo taking.

Sharing a card for Inspired by All the Little Things.

Rather rustic, with the weathered wood,

and a big red distressed heart.

Just received Concord and 9th's Cozy Up stamps and dies. Ordered said set

after seeing a darling tag by our friend Marybeth Lopez, using the heart stamp,

(see here:Enjoy)

I actually used 2 Concord and 9th sets,

Cozy Up & Love Always

Love Aways has the die that cuts the attached word 'love' from the 

window created from the frame.

Cozy Up also has dies, even the sweet 3 circle wood rings I used

for my ombre heart.

PTI Inks: Berry Sorbet, Pure Poppy & Scarlet Jewel

Love Aways was stamped with Hero Arts Unicorn,

and selectively white embossed (Love Always).

Popped up the little ringlets with foam tape.

Give Thanks

Melissa Phillips shares her talents for creating beautiful backgrounds

with die cut stencil shapes.

Her attention to detail wins me every time.

And it's always delightful to learn her secrets!

Melissa used an ordinary paper towel to apply her inks to the 

die cut stencils. I did some of my background like she showed us,

and part with sponges.

Make It Market: Garden Gate provided the die cut stencil, and 

fall leaves for my background.

Friendship Jar: Fillers (smaller pumpkins)

Autumn Pumpkins (larger pumpkins), & sentiment 

All the pumpkins were die cut, stamped with Hero Arts Wet Cement,

then copic colored.
