2 Crafty Critter Crazies with SheepSki Designs - freebie

Wow! August already! Here in Florida, August and especially September are our two hottest, ickiest months. Then again, we do have AC to help make things more comfy.

So how about you way Down Under? Are you cold?
And what about my northern friends? I hope you are enjoying a great summer.

I have a rather gaudy card share today.

Charming... 

       Sweet...

               but maybe a tad too many flowers? (giggle) -
                        is that possible?

At any rate, I love it and can smell the fragrance of those dimensional flowers wafting through the breeze where my bear friends are enjoying a lovey afternoon.

AND HAVE YOU GUESSED?

It's time for a new Challenge at Two Crafty Critter Crazies 
where we love to celebrate any project with a critter on it! Critters include mythical creatures, animal toys and everything alive (except humans and flora)!

Our very generous sponsor this month is:
Andrea Norris of SheepSki Designs


She has such a unique style and wonderful characters.
My card features the delightful "Fuzzy Friends" Teddy Bears and her beautiful Wild Roses stem (I've turned into an autumn frame)

First I colored in Wild Roses stem in a salmony-golden-orange like color with Caran d'Ache Luminance 6901 Color Pencils. ALL RIGHT! I ADMIT IT! I "cheated" by scanning the flower, and arranging it into a border for my beary sweet, fuzzy friends to enjoy.

I printed the frame out twice so that many of the flowers could be cut out, shaped and placed on top of the flat flowers, for a little dimension:


Using three dies from SueWilson's Ornate Pierced Rectangles, three shapes were cut. Double Sided Tape behind the filagree holds a pretty coppery brown glitter. Fun Foam holds the colored panel up to give a little dimension.

Thanks for popping by - we "crazies" hope to see your critter projects at the challenge! Help us celebrate the diversity of animal life on our dear planet!
