Here's my Lawn Fawn creation
As usual, at least lately, I had to rush and make
a birthday card for a neighbor and this was
perfect for him. Of course, Lawn Fawn 
was a great go to...I stamped the desk and 
typewriter on a white cardfront. Then I 
added the sentiments and colored it with
my Copics. I stamped the little mouse 
and colored him then cut him out. Raising
the mouse with mounting tape made him
look like he was typing. 
This was white cardstock, unlike the 
beige/off white look the photo gives it. lol.
Inside...
Unusual for a guy, but my neighbor 
says they keep all my cards. Love creating
for people like that!! AND, this was a
super quick card to make. 😀👍

PIP Challenge 2626 with a 5th Monday THEME-water

   Another fun challenge ahead! PIP's fabulous
sponsor for this week is
It's always fun getting to find new stuff
and a great sponsor as well! YAY! Be
sure to go shopping!!
Here's my card...following the 5th 
Monday theme: WATER  
featuring Silly Fisherman 
This was made for my fish loving
hubby's birthday. He fishes a lot and I
love that he does because he takes so
many stunning scenery photos, and even
some of fish he's caught. He's a catch and
release fisherman. Neither of us like to
clean fish. hehe. 
Anyway, I used Copic markers to color
the image and used a ragged die cut.
The edge was sponged with coordinating
inks to help it stand out against the 
background paper. I made the sentiment
myself and found some fun fish designer
cardstock to accent the card. The sentiment
was raised up with mounting tape.
I always find lots of great images for
any occasion at Pattie's Creations.
