April Blast From The Past!!!!!



It's that time of the month again!!!  Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past Blog Hop!!  This month's challenge is to make something clean and simple.  When I saw the instructions this month, I immediately thought of JulieHRR cards!!!  She makes the best CAS cards. I never like making one layer cards, with so much white, until a Dare To Get Dirty challenges a couple of years ago on Splitcoast.

For this month's challenge, I decided to use the set I won last month, In The Park, to make my clean and simple card.  Using some scrap white card stock, I cut it down to just larger than 3x3 so it would fit into a regular envelope and not be rejected by the postal service.  After I stamped my images in memento tuxedo black, I pulled out my prismacolor pencils and blender marker for coloring. 

Once the coloring was done, I then stamped the dog onto some more scrap white card stock, colored it, cut out and adhered to the main card sitting on the bench. 

Here's a close up of the card itself.

For my saying, I pulled out the matching "Just sittin' here Thinking of you" and stamped it on the inside with an uncolored dog.
