It's the Little Things That Make Life Big -PP251

June 28, 2015

 I am so glad to be back blogging.  I took a week off to be with my Granddaughters.  We had so much fun!  It was such a busy week and I am tired!  LOL!  I hope to get back in my craft room today! 

 It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!  This week the ever so talented, Nance is our hostess.  She has a fantastic sketch for all of us! 

My card is created using a white card base.  (5 1/2 X 4 1/4)  The tops layer is a piece of patterned paper from Doddlebug, Patriotic Picnic Paper Pack .  I loved the ants all over it!  Aren't there always ants that appear when eating watermelon outside?  A white circle was cut with my stitched circle dies and adhered on top of the ant paper.  I used the red and white polka dots in the pack to add the strip across the front.  I also used the gray and white polka dots from the same paper pack and cut the end using my snips to make the banner end.  

The watermelon boy was colored with Copic Markers.  It is a digit stamp I purchased from Etsy by Deidre Mosher Art.  I added some black gel pen on his nose and freckles.  The sentiment is from the Tim Holtz, Black and White Small Talk Stickers.  Three red candy dots were added for fun!

I am so glad you stopped by my blog today.  Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.  I love to hear from you!

    Such a fun card, Claire! Love the goofy looking little guy enjoying his watermelon! It wasn't until I looked at the close up of your card that I realized the pattern in the background is ants. Too cute!

    What a darling card, Claire! You are rockin' the Copic markers--great coloring--love the goofy grin on the boy. Like Sandy, I didn't realize the BG paper was ants either at first. Great choice of all the papers, colors and images. Thanks for makin' my sketch look so good!
