Hey friends! Today I'm back with a couple more cards featuring the Boho Critters paper pad, ephemera, and EZ Wonder Dies from Not 2 Shabby.
I've been having a lot of fun playing around with EZ Wonder Die #2. I don't find myself reaching for ovals in my cards very often, so I challenged myself to create a bit with this die set. This first card features some of the beautiful ephemera in the Boho Critters Ephemera pack. I love the monotone neutrals and wanted to make a somewhat elegant card after making quite a few cutesy ones.
The center oval is the inner oval that's cut with the die. I used the solid side of the paper and embossed with an embossing folder. Since the paper has a white core, it was easy to lightly sand over the raised parts to make the leafy background stand out. The stamped sentiment is from the August Stamp of the Month and I stamped it onto one of the banner strips from the EZ Wonder #1 Add-ons. Next I layered a rectangle of patterned paper just smaller than the length of the skinny rectangle die cut and lightly sponged the edges with vintage photo ink. I then layered onto a pumice stone background and added the same color cardstock oval mat from the Add On dies. A few little sparkly enamel dots finish things off.
For the second card I used EZ Wonder Die #2 and Add-ons to create the oval frame with patterned paper and some gold foil. This layer is popped up on foam tape for a little lift and I stamped a sentiment from the previously released Cozy Fall Wishes on the paper behind the frame, adding a few Copic accents to the doodles around the sentiment.
I thought the sentiment would work perfectly for these sweet critters I colored up from the August Stamp of the Month. I just love the idea of this little squirrel sharing his pinecone with a bear. I finished off with a butterfly from the Boho Critters Ephemera and added everything to a kraft card base.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous start to the weekend! The boys have a tennis tournament this weekend and it's supposed to be 100 degrees, so we'll be catching some rays courtside!
