Earth Day!

We at Words 2 Scrap By are teaming up with Shopping Our Stash to honor Earth Day and Arbor Day.  What an honor for us!  Here is my card:

The animals count on us to take good care of mother earth - it's their home too!  Lawn Fawn Critters in the 'Burbs images and dies.  Stamped in black VersaMark ink, and heat embossed with clear powder.  Distress inked background, images die cut and colored with Derwent water color pencils.  Don't forget to play along with both challenges, Shopping Our Stash and Words 2 Scrap By.  Looking forward to seeing all of your creative responses to the challenges! 

Let's play tic tac toe - embossing powder, die cuts, and coloring for MSC!

W2SB April Challenge - The Earth Has Music

The earth has music for those who listen.

- George Santayana

This month's Words 2 Scrap By  inspiration words can go in so many directions.  I chose to see the words as that eerie calm at dusk, when the day creatures are settling in for the night, and the night creatures are just waking.  

The background is inked with Tim Holtz Distress Inks, and layered with textured black paper.  The birds are cut with a Sizzix die, and mounted behind a black frame that started out as a Sizzix square die, and was cut a second time to make it a rectangle.  Woot woot!  I learned a way to make my square dies cut rectangles!!!  The sentiment is a very old K & Co. metal embellishment.  How do you hear our earth's music?  Link up your creation to Words 2 Scrap By!!
