Stampin' In Alaska

A sad and fond farewell to Paper Smooches!! I'm playing along with the current Birthday challenge on the Paper Smooches blog.  I pulled out Chubby Chum Pals and inked up this cutie moose image.  It was colored with Prismacolors. Supplies:  Paper Smooches Chubby Chum Pals, VersaClaire ink, Pink Paislee Switchboard paper pad, Gerda Steiner Moose Love (sentiment), Prismacolor pencils, Lawn Fawn die I would like to share my card with the following:  Paper Smooches August 1-14 Birthday Challenge 2 Crafty Critter Crazies:  Challenge #41 Anything Goes   Aud Sentiment Challenge:  #257 Anything Goes   Word Art Wednesday:  #452 - 453 Anything Goes  

This is the Paper Smooches Sparks inspiration photo for this week's Picture Perfect challenge.  Wow, lots of inspiration in this photo!  I was really drawn to the arrangement of the plates on the wall and the variety of colors.  I focused on this element AND threw in a little aqua color as well. Here's what I came up with:  I used Paper Smooches Chubby Chum Pals set for this card.  This crab is adorable and the mix 'n match accessories in the set are so much fun.  I added the mustache from the set and googlie eyes.  I used miscellaneous buttons to mimic the plates on the wall of our inspiration photo.  They kind of reminded me of bubbles in my little ocean scene!  The ocean wave die is from The Cat's Pajama's. This was so much fun!  And it's a great "belated" birthday card that I can add to my stash.  Thanks for stopping by to take a closer look.  I always enjoy reading your comments!
