The Rainbow Bridge

I didn't have a card for a friend whose pet had passed away, so when I received my order of dies, I wanted to put together a card with the rainbow bridge.  I had some paper from an envelope with the crisscross pattern, so I stamped directly onto this paper with the "Big Post Card" wooden stamp, which is very old, but still occupies a spot in my heart and stamp drawer.  LOL

I know this isn't the happy rainbow card, but I think we all have a friend who's wonderful animal friend has passed away.

Supplies:

Hero Arts Big Post Card (S5665) - years old, but a favorite
My Favorite Things Rainbow Bridge
My Favorite Things Pet Silhouettes Die-namics
Nuvo Crystal Drops Liquid Mercury & Gloss Ebony Black

It's All About the Scarves

I had to use a new stamp and die set right away!

I'm not sure why I wanted these cute guys to be on clouds, but I bypassed the snow drifts for the clouds and I just think snowmen deserve to be on clouds.  I had this ECD fence on my table and decided to use it too.  I almost threw this piece away.  I did want to glue it on the inside of the card, but put the glue on the back of the fence by mistake and just went with it.  I think it turned out so cute, much cuter than it seems to show here.   I fussy cut them out because I put the matching dies in the wrong bundle and can't find them yet.  LOL  I had precut some holiday sentiments, so I'm not sure what die I used.

Supplies:
Rubbernecker In Case You Get Cold stamp set (matching die here)

My Favorite Things Outside the Box Level Up Die-namics

Card Chain Reveal For February

It's time for another reveal for the Card Chain Challenge!

We had the following choices in our challenge:

 I thought a snow globe could contain anything and so it does.  I know it's a bit crazy, but I really like it - who makes a lavender snow globe with elephants?  Yes, I did!  I know I've used these cute elephants quite a bit, but I really do love them.  I figured crafting DOES make everything better.  Picked "Hearts" as my challenge, making the heart balloon my "heart".

Supplies:
Poppy Stamps Cabin Snowglobe Pop up Easel Craft Die set

March is Blowing in with Scrapflower Estudio!

Scrapflower Estudio is Die Cut Divas' Sponsor for March.

The prize is the winner's choice of 4 digi stamps.

I was drawn to this image.  I recall seeing Rosie The Riveter on a poster my mother had and this reminded me of her, strong and independent.  This image celebrates International Women's Day on March 8.  I really enjoyed working with her.  She just became available last month and this is my first time using this image.  I've included Rosie the Riveter below my card so you can see why this image evoked that memory. 

Rosie The Riveter during World War 1.  See the raised arm.

This poster was part of the national propaganda campaign during World War 1 in the United States to enlist women in the workforce.

Scrapflower Estudio Woman Power Girl
Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles
