A Simple Hello

Photo Details

Poster: JRHolbrook

I made this card for this week's Teapot Challenge: Chris is helping her mom, Sandy, who has cancer. Just a little hello for her as she's away from home. This card also works for ABC challenge, letter H, and CAS534, no coloring.

I've been wanting to use some of my older stamp sets and inks I haven't used for awhile. I simply stamped tree, squirrels on bench, "Hello" and border. Then, I sponged around bench and card using the same colors that I had stamped with. I used a fine line brown pen to created a stitched border, then glued stamped layer onto card.

I love the little guys too...like they are just having a chat....
I like the idea of using the same colors to blend-ties the whole card up nicely.

This is scuh a pretty card for Chris and I know she will love it. I like your stitched border. Those squirrels are plotting something....probably how to break into a bird seed feeder.

Oh - I haven't seen that set for a while! It looks fab. I always liked it, both the tree and those sweet little squirrels.

This is just beautiful. I love the peaceful feeling this park-like setting evokes from this card. I agree, the squirrels bring a smile to one's face. This is a wonderful card for Chris! ~Karen.

I love those two little squirrels having a conference on the back of that bench. And that tree image is incredible. What a lovely and sweet card.
