Hi! This card was made for the Stampin' B's Challenge, (to use pink, blue and green on a card), and it fits today's Ways to Use it Challenge to use twine! And, it fits this week's Speedy's Friends Challenge: use 5. I used 5 blue/green half pearls!
I stamped the tree background stamp TWICE, (and cut it down to size), so that it would be a bit wider, onto Snow Storm Smooth. (The paper is PERFECT for Copic Markers!)
Next, I stamped in the grass. (It's from the Tropical Vacation Set!) The leaves for the flower are from Autumn Fun and were colored in with Copic Markers.
I used Copics for the sky, too. The sentiment was stamped, cut out and popped onto the background.
The brass charm was colored with a Copic Marker is anchored to the twine with gold cording.
And yes, the skunk thinks the flower stinks! LOL
Speedy the Cat spent a few nights last summer growling at something outside while sitting in our living room. Well, one of our dogs got a FACE full of skunk stink. He was very upset, and whining and crying. However, ALL the cats thought he smelled WONDERFUL! They ALL rubbed up on him and for about 2 months we had a dog who smelled like tomato juice and lingering skunk, along with 6 cats who REALLY smelled terrible! LOL
Finished card size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Total time to complete: 29 minutes.

I most always love your cards, and this one is no exception, BUT my favorite part in your descriptions are your stories about your cat. They are so funny! Thanks for the chuckles.

I really like those birch trees. That skunk is so cute but his smeller may be a bit mixed up. LOL Love your card, Faith!!
