A few new release projects

Hello!
I hope you've all seen the New release post and Challenge 6 post, both just before this one!
Below I am sharing the details on 3 cards I made using the new releases.

I have been wanting to combine these baby farm animals for a long time and knew I had to wait until I had the cow.
This is how it looked on my Word document for printing.
I placed the piglet first, then the cow, then the horse and finally the goat. It took quite some time to color, but I just am so happy with the end result!

Here is the finished card:

For the grass in the bottom right corner, I just used the writing tip of the Tombow marker and made clumps of grass blades with it to fill the area. Then I lightly (with light water flow) brushed over the clumps in up and down strokes with the waterbrush. I waited for that to dry completely and then used the writing tip again to make blades of grass again over top everything. After all that, I wanted the grass to match the grass under the horse, so I used my Zig Millenium fineliner to draw just a few grass clumps in there.

SUPPLIES:

IMAGES: Baby Cow, Baby Horse, Precious Piglet and Baby Goat from Doodle Pantry
CS/PAPER: 90 lb. watercolor paper, CDS spring leaf, CDS mud pie, CDS cream soda
INK: printer, Tombow markers 850, 912, 491, 098, 177, 990, 992, 947, 899, 977, 985, 946, black zig millenium
ACCENTS/TOOLS: waterbrush, border punch, glue dots, CDS mud pie ribbon, button, thread, sewing machine

Next card I couldn't believe I didn't sew! I wanted to, but decided to resist it as sort of a challenge to myself... I needed to see if I could make a card without sewing on it and still like the outcome, LOL! I actually like it. It's on the simpler side. I used some matching digi paper that comes with the Nutty for you set.

SUPPLIES:

IMAGES: Nutty for you by Doodle Pantry
CS/PAPER: white, CDS worn parchment, CDS pineapple twist, digi paper included in digi set
INK: color printer
ACCENTS/TOOLS: spellbinders octagons and ovals dies, fern punch, ivory taffeta ribbon, pearls, foam pop dots

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally I had to color the Spring Song Birdies. I just got this Basic Grey Hopscotch paper last weekend and was itching to do some cute springy card with it.

They were a tad bit tedious to color, but SOOOO much fun!

New releases today!

Good morning! Today we have 5 new releases to share.

CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE NEW RELEASES PAGE

Right after the release on the 5th, we underwent a server switch (to make the site faster) and then the server was unexpectedly having maintenance done on it. I think the problems were intermitent for about a week! It caused a lot of problems with downloads and emails not being sent.

I want to give you a little discount this time, 4 days only, as appreciation for your continued support and patience as we worked to get the site running smoothly again.

Check out the specials page HERE.

Here are the newest releases!

BABY COW - I just HAD to include a baby cow for the baby farm animals collection

COZY GAZEBO - A little scenery for some pretty cards

HOLY LAND FLOWERS 3 (almond and mustard) - includes scriptures

SPRING SONG BIRDIES - these birdies are singing the sweet tunes of spring

NUTTY FOR YOU - Just some whimsical, fun, nut-loving squirrels

......................................................................................

Stay tuned... Katlyn is hosting the Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge 6 (theme is anything love, or things representing any kind of love), and then I will be posting a few creations with these releases.
Later this week, I will post a coloring tutorial on the Cozy Gazebo!
Thanks for checking in on us this week, I hope you'll play our challenge... there are lots of chances to win!

I hope you find some inspiration to go create!

CES Challenge Sponsorship

Hello! Today we are sponsoring CES Challenge Blog with the theme "All creatures great and small". Pretty much any kind of animal.
There are several of the Doodle Pantry DT who have participated in this challenge, you can check them out above, click the tab "Design Team".

Below is what I created. I used the new set Critter Tops COLOR. I used the ants, turtle and bunny to make my daughters Sunday School valentines. (The Critter tops are also sold separately for those who just want one character.)
Just print them, cut them out. I placed the turtles on oval punchouts and then that on top of candies. On the scallop heart images, I cut them out and then punched a hole in the center and used glue dots to secure it to the side of the 1-1/2" square fold up box.
Stuff the boxes with candy and I'm all set!

SUPPLIES: Cardstock, printer, punches, scissors, glue dots (and a little optional patterned paper to line the inside of boxes)

..................................................
Thanks for visiting today! I hope you were inspired to create and I hope you can play along at CES Challenge this week!
