Just a little thanks

Hi!  Katie here sharing a fun card today!  I happened to go to a picnic at a friends yesterday and I thought this was the perfect way to say thank you with this cute melon eating hippo as the start of the show. 

I started by stamping and coloring the image N&T Beach Day image with my Copics.  She is sooooooo cute, squee.  Once I had that completed I embossed some white cardstock with my We R Memory Keepers- NL Embossing- Quilted folder.  I added a strip of paper from American Crafts Everyday 6X6 pad.  I Cut the sentiment from Little Yellow Bicycle and then used my Ranger Ink Distressed- Picked Raspberry and Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tool to give it that ombre look.  I am pretty pleased with the results.  Anything cute makes me happy. 

Also, don't forget to join for our July THD Challenge here. 

Thanks for visiting me here today! 

Greetings from Seattle

Hey, hey!  Katie here!  What can I tell you, I love the Pacific Northwest.  One big reason is that The Heart Desires store is here- yay!  But also because I love the water and the green trees and so much more.  

So today I have a card for you that embodies the PNW. 

I used this great textured background.  I used a background die for the sun.  I stamped and colored the boat and added the greeting.  Easy Peasy. 

This card features: 

We are Memory Keepers- Next Level Embossing Folder- Geometric

Hero Arts- Kelly Purkey Greetings from Seattle Stamp Set

This seems appropriate to enter into our current challenge don't you think?!
