Stamping 411 Challenge #194 & 152

I just loved this challenge and they both came from Stamping 411 ~ if you've never joined this challenge, you really should ~ I love playing along with this ~ So first I found the colors that I would be playing with and this was the Stamping 411 Color Inspiration #152 ~ and then the sketch at Stampin 411 Sketch #194




I knew exactly what I wanted to play with ~ so out with Forest Friends (this sketch was perfect)....incidentally....another stamp set that I had never played with...I think I'm on a roll here!
~ Here's the picture of my card ~


As I began to play with this, I thought I was really going to be able to keep my sponge away ~ but I just can't seem to do it ~ I LOVE TO SPONGE MY EDGES!!! So after I stamped my Pear Pizzazz with my Sanded Stamp ~ out with my sponge! 
I put together each little frame as follows ~ 
Each little Forest Friend was punched out with my 1 1/4 Square Punch and then sponged (surprise!!!) ~ 
I then punched out a Scallop Square using Concord Crush and then 
a 1 3/8 square with So Saffron.
Here is a quick side view and inside of my card!



Thank you so much for stopping by ~ I hope you're have a fabulous day ~


If you live in Winnipeg or the vicinity and would like to host a party I would love to come and stamp with you and your friends!! Or, if space is an issue, come here and create with me at one of my many clubs or classes! Drop me a line for further info! I'd love to meet you! 
Enjoy your day!

    Well, this is a real cutie! AND this is a sketch I am sure will be used over & over by moi! I have to admit, I haven't used this stamp but maybe once or twice myself! That little bunny would be cute for spring....I need to USE it!

    Denise, this card it so adorable. I love how you used this "neglected" set. It's perfect for this card. It is a set I don't own because I didn't think I'd have a use for it - you've shown me a wonderful use for it. I love how you have the So Saffron peeking out from behind the scalloped squares.

Hello friends and I want to wish you a Blessed Happy New Year!!!  A year filled with love, hope and peace!!! And I want to welcome you here, to the first Technique Tuesday of the year.  The call for this Technique is using the Brayer!  Oh boy, I haven't used my Brayer in years...so here we go!! Did you see this new Embossing Folder?  It's from the new Adoring Hearts Bundle and wow!!! what a Bundle this is, we have the Stamp Set, Embossing Hybrid Folder, and the Dies, that work with the Embossing Folder.  So whenever you have an Embossing Folder, that is Hybrid, well, that means you Die Cut and Emboss at the same time...Easy Peasy and AMAZING!!! So what I did was, with my Blackberry Bliss Stamp Pad, I inked Brayered the inside of the Embossing Folder, then carefully laid the Die into the Embossing Folder, placed a 6" x 6" piece of Basic White CS, into the folder!  Ran that through my Cut & Emboss Machine and voilà Stampin Dimensionals behind these sweet hearts and
