Sneak Peek: Day Three

Wednesday, January 7, 2009

I am such a space cadet sometimes!

I went to bed early last night to catch up on some sleep. I was content knowing that today's blog post was all set to go. This morning I awoke to find out that all that had posted were my cards and nothing else! I hadn't written anything! Apparently I can convince myself of anything when I'm half asleep! LOL

Today's sneak peeks are showcasing a new set called 'Hay Hanna'! When I first laid eyes on this set, I wasn't sure what I could come up with as far as greeting cards were concerned, but the more I doodled, the more ideas came to me.

And that's how "Hay There Chickie" was born! LOL There are a total of 16 stamps in this set and I've used 6 of them on this card! I can't wait for you to see all the animals in this set!!

I stamped out the feed bucket first onto watercolor paper. Then I masked it off with a post it note, then stamped out the hay bale, then Hanna and then the chicks last. The sky/background and ground were sponged on with Soft Sky and Distress Inks. The button was from a package I found at Walmart. The paper is from Crate paper - LOVE their stuff!

I have had this sentiment just sitting in my collection waiting for the right card to use it on....and then when I saw the cow in this new set, I had a bit of a 'Hallelujah' moment!! This very rarely happens, but I love it when it does! The layout is from SCS's Sketch Challenge (SC209) last week.

I stamped out Daisy the cow on watercolor paper first, then stamped her out again on Georgia Pacific cardstock for the top later. Then I sponged the background. Then I cut Daisy out from the GP paper and popped her on dimensionals. The sentiment is clear embossed to add a little bit extra punch to the card. Last but not least, I added some googlie eyes! Daisy was BEGGING for them! LOL This could be a great 'get well' card don't you think? It'd make me laugh if I got it!

Please check out the wonderful creations made by the other Hanna Girls on their blogs! They are churning out some stunning cards this week! :D (The list is on the left).

I have two more cards for you tomorrow and then it's release party time!! :D Waahooooo!

Have a fabulous Wednesday!
