Crafter's Cafe Challenge #312 Theme is Animals

Do you lose your mojo sometimes?  I certainly do when it comes to paper crafting.  But sometimes an idea just springs to life very quickly.  That is what happened in the challenge.  Here is the sponsor.

Here is what I have designed using the image from Beccy's Place titled Flockstar.

This was way to much fun to create.  The base is bright pink 
with an orange rectangle.  The I have used scraps for the back-
ground and the sand.  I colored the flamingo in a very light pink
with fushia highlights.  Orange and yellow for the beak.  
Next I cut from a very old Sizzix die the crown.  

The inside has another crown and the saying is one of my 
favorites from Mary Englebreit.

The envelope

Well that's it for this months challenge brought to you by Crafters Cafe.  I hope you can play along.

So from my heart to yours,  stay healthy, stay safe and know you are blessed.

A note from Rachelle Anne Miller:

I am an artist & designer living in the beautiful Adelaide Hills in South Australia with my husband and three amazing children! I love to create and am especially drawn to all things cute. I've worked on children's books, greeting cards, craft supplies, children's room décor, tech accessories, and more. I love to bring out joy and imagination in my art and create something a little different to inspire and make you smile.

These two sponsors are fabulous.  They provide design teams with great images to use.  But then again they get the promotion of their companies.  Win-Win!  Please go show some love and please leave a thank you!

My image for this challenge is by Last Minute Manda and is called Fall Gnomes.

Here we go gang!

Started with bright blue card stock as a base.  Using my grass
dies I made the setting for the Pumpkin and Gnome Garden.
The pumpkin is colored with, alcohol markers, colored pencils
and I paper pieced the pumpkin house ground.  I did the sme with
Mr. Gnome in his garden.  The Hello Autumn is a die cut using
bronze mirrored paper.

The blue sky paper is a scrap.  I used another scrap of yellow
to print the saying on.  The little leaves are little ones left over
from the Pumpkin house.

The Back

That's it for this month.  I will be back with another creation in October!  So for now...

Stay safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed.
