Seasons with Create a Smile

Hi there,

Create a Smile launched two new sets and I knew that I had to have "Your View". I created four mini cards representing the four seasons spring, summer, fall and winter.

• use kraft cardstock as a cardbase
• stamp the frame from Create a Smile Your View with Versafine Onyx Black on white cardstock and cut it out - repeat this step four times
• spring: stamp branch directly to frame piece and the birdhouse on a separate piece of white cardstock and cut out
• summer: stamp cat and sun on a separate piece of white cardstock and cut out
• fall: stamp dog on separate piece of white cardstock and cut out
• winter: stamp snowman on separate piece of white cardstock and cut out
• color all the pieces with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and Zest-it
• go around the edges of all the pieces with a black PITT artist pen 
• add heat-embossed raindrops (Silver) to the fall piece and snowflakes (White) to the winter piece
• create the backgrounds using Distress Inks (spring - Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans; summer - Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean; Fall - Weathered Wood, Stormy Sky; winter - Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire)
• adhere the pieces with foam tape
• create DIY wood veneer word banners for each piece (the free font is called Automobile)

I would like to apply as the September Guest Designer with this creation.

Furthermore, I would like to participate in the following challenges:

The Friday Mashup Challenge 172 - Slice it up!

I created a project with wood elements.


Inkspirational Challenge 62 - Use Markers or Pencils

Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Yours,
Tanja
