For June, we have fun theme for you to play along and it's super easy.

"Cute Critters"

 Here is what I made for you.

It's a simple card and easy to do background.  In this card I used the adorable mouse from Waving Hello stamp set and sentiment is from Harvest Happiness stamp.  Decorative frame is Crazy Stitched Frame dies.  

And here is how I made it.

Find any round object around you or you can use circle die but for my convenience I just grabbed the circle bow that I put small little images when I do fussy cutting.  I don't have big piece of masking paper so I used typing paper.

I wrapped around my white card base using partial area of the negative circle space.  I used distress oxide in squeezed lemonade for the sun, salty ocean for the sky and combination of salty ocean and cracked pistachio for the sea.   Look not so pretty right? :)

I stamped the mouse image outside the circle and began to color him.

Mouse - E31, E33
Hat, Short and Cup - R35, R29, R89
Sand - E53, E55, E57, E31

I used gray shade markers T5, T7, T9 and 100 to fill in the gap between the sky and sea.  On the left side of the mountain I used T5 since it's nearer to the sun and darker shade of Ts markers when it's further away.

I cut my panel with Crazy Stitched Frame dies (my favorite) and heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder onto black card stock.

To finish up the card I used white gel pen for small waves at the sea and on the sand areas.  I also put light blue stickles on the waves for some sparkling.  I then used the red sequins from Berry Christmas sequins mix and attached them here and there.  

I hope you like it and decide to play along with us.
