Hi Friends! I hope you are all having a wonderful Monday. After being in the 80s last week, we had snow flurries this morning. I can hardly believe it. Although it is still cold, the sun is now shinning. I'm certainly not complaining though. I know many of you are still feeling the full force of winter where you are.
Coloring is therapeutic for me. How about you? Since my mojo went missing & I couldn't decide what to make, I thought I would do some coloring. I pulled out some watercolor paper and my Pun Fun stamp set. It always makes me smile and is so much fun to color. I started with this little guy but ended up coloring all but about two of the other images in the set so this is going to be Pun Fun week here at the blog. I hope you don't mind indulging me on only using one set this week. As a matter of fact, I'd like to throw down a challenge. Do you have Pun Fun or some other cute set that you love but haven't used in awhile? Why don't you pull it out and play along this week. I will upload a new Pun Fun card each morning and you can duplicate anything about it that you like or you can create something totally your own. Click on the link at the bottom of this post to share your card with us.
For this card, I began with my focal point as I said earlier, and decided to color him with Poppy Parade, Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight with some Blush Blossom around his body to give him more depth. I used my blender pens to color him. I then decided to punch him out with my 1 3/4" circle punch. For my base, I picked Poppy Parade and then wanted to use some Poppy Parade DSP that I layered on a piece of Tempting Turquoise card stock. I then used my 1" circle punch and took off about 3/4 of the punch on the left hand side. I then wrapped a piece of Daffodil Delight grosgrain ribbon around it and tied it with some thread and a Tempting Turquoise button. This whole piece was then mounted on the card base using dimensionals. I then mounted my focal point using dimensionals. For the tag, I stamped my greeting on a small strip of Daffodil Delight card stock and cut each of the ends using my Jewelry Tag punch and mounted it using a glue dot under the ribbon.
Now, let's see what you all come up with!
Sherri, I just love this card! I would love to play along with trying to make something using the Pun Fun set! It's been awhile since I've used mine, too! I don't have any watercoloring paper, but I'll try to do my best with regular Whisper White! Do I just link my blog in the comments section?
