Christian Critters Too

I think that Clear Dollar Stamps has outdone themselves with the releases this month. Christian Critters Too is a fantastic set with Christian related sentiments that co-ordinate with all of the Critter Sets. The sentiments fit for almost any occasion and serve as a great pick me up sentiment on a card. There are so many sentiments - I had a hard time picking which ones I wanted to highlight on my cards.

For my first card, I've used my Cute Critters set for the skunk. Pink, Black and White is one of my favorite color combos so of course I had to use it. I picked up the Black and White Flocked DP at a LSS but boy oh boy - it cost me (almost $3 a sheet) so needless to say I had to make sure what my layout was going to be before I went at it with my paper cutter. I love the look of layers as you can tell - I originally had another DP to go on this card but I love the look of layering the flocked DP over the pink DP. I've used Angel Wings Shimmerz on the White part of the skunk and pink Shimmerz on the flower. I hope you love this card as much as I do.

I rarely make Clean and Simple cards but I think the lion from Zoo Critters needed to be just that - clean and simple. I knew that I wanted the sentiment to stand out as much as the lion. I've really enjoyed watercoloring (I'm finally getting better at it) the lion. As you can see, I've used my nestabilities on this card as well and the MS Double Scallop Puch as well.
