Card Swap With Kimberly!

Hi everyone!

Happy World Cardmaking Day!!

Today I have a quick post to share a card that I made for a swap with 

Kimberly of  Kimberly's Crafty Spot.

We thought it would be fun to use the same sketch and the same stamp company and see how alike or different our cards ended up being. The stamp company we picked was Gerda Steiner and we picked an older sketch from My Favorite Things #162.

Here is a look at the card I created to send to Kimberly:

I picked the Happy Fall stamp set from Gerda Steiner for my card. I just love the little squirrels in this set! I did a bit of masking to create my little scene and added a sky and grass using some Distress Oxide inks. I colored my squirrel and leaves with my Copic markers and cut it out using a Stitched Circle Die from Jaded Blossom. I set that aside and started layering my card. I started with a Kraft card base and layered some brown patterned paper on top. I used the Scallop Square Dies from Jaded Blossom and cut it from some Kraft card stock. I added a little bit of doodling with a brown pen. I cut some strips of patterned paper, notched the ends and wrapped some hemp cord around the top. I popped that up onto my card and added my little circle with my scene and my card was done. So super cute!!

 Be sure to check out Kimberly's blog to see the super adorable card that she made for me!!
