STAMPOTIQUE DESIGNERS' CHALLENGE 164: ANIMALS OR BIRDS

Sue Davis is directing the Stampotique Designers' Challenge this week, and it's all about animals or birds!  Give a listen:
Napoleon once said that the English are a nation of shopkeepers.  What he should have said is that we are a nation of animal lovers.  Nearly everyone I know has got a cat or dog, a pet rabbit or bird, and I know that my Stampotique teamies have their pets too.  So, this week we're celebrating fur and feathers, and I challenge you to create something with either animals or birds. Put your best paw forward and bring it on.  Have fun!
My Super Dog Jake has given me permission to go with wings and feathers, so I checked out my ever-growing collection of Stampotique Originals and was spotted by this pair of "Bold Birds" (pun intended!).
  

I used patterned paper for my ATC base, and printed my quote directly onto the paper using my computer.  (I failed to give credit for the quote, so will let you know it is by Morrie Schwartz.)  For a bit of added texture, I used France Papillon's "Design Cube" in the background.

Thank you for coming by again today!  I appreciate both your visits and your comments.  I hope you will spend some time getting crafty this week and create something for this fun challenge.  Directions and rules for submitting your artwork can be found here.  At the end of the month, two artists will be randomly selected to receive $30 gift certificates for products found in the Stampotique "store."

Cheers!

  2. Nice and simple yet so effective... this is just the way I like it. My kind of a card. AND I think I have a stamp like those birds I think I need to look for it.

  4. Very nice Kay, and as Sue already said: a real Kay piece. I am so impressed with your ability of making a great impact with (what probably only seems to be) a simple card.
