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 ~

  1. 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!

  4. 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.
