Birthday card Young deer

Another sketch challenging! :D and this card is also entering HeroArts April contest.

Colored young deer from HeroArts with water coloring
 using distress ink (vintage photo) from ranger.
I'm not a coloring person, I'm not good at it... but this little deer is exception! LOL

A tree is paper piercing technique, used lilybeedesign "Double Dutch" 6x6 pad.
This is another great paper pad, I'm going to use this a lot for sure. ;)

Guess what, I broke out holiday stamp set (HeroArts) for the tree! hee hee

And, the white embossed stripe is actually Newspaper tulips! (also from HeroArts)
 I used that stamp as grass. Ha! :)
I stamped image a couple of times to make look like grass.

Paper Piercing

Entering 2nd round of HeroArts April contest.
I played along with some pretty patterned papers using

 one of the HeroArts April contest sketches.

I like paper piercing, it's time consuming sometimes,

but I think it's great way to have some fun with using stamps and papers at the same time.

Cosmo Cricket

Cosmo Cricket 6x6 paper pad which is Tea for Two is super adorable!

Glad that I bought this pad.

Coudn't help making an another Mother's day card. :)

I tried to make some super tiney spiral roses, it took a loooong time ( I have no idea how many pieces I made! redoing over and over... ) and time consuming, but finally I made it. Whew!
