I was getting a bit tired of doing X-Mas cards so I slipped a few non X-mas ones in.
I had fun doing this one cause there was alot of cutting out. I know most people don't like haveing to do lots of cuts, but I on the other hand don't mind it.
I did the bathroom wall tiles with self adhesive epoxy dimensional tiles. They are a bit wonky in their placement, but I guess I'm not really good at straight lines (even with the help of ruler and pencil)
I've had these for soooo long that I was pleasantly surprised that they still had sticking power. LOL
A strip of textured paper for a border underneath set the scene.
I watercolored the wall with just a hint of green, colored and cut out the bottles of bath salts (I actually doubled them because the stamp only has two bottles), and the shelf (which I cut the legs off of) and stuck them on the wall.
This is a stamp from http://www.rubberromance.com/ and I just love it.
Anyway, I stickled the bubbles to death so they would really stand out, cut the whole thing out and stuck it on.
There you have it
I guess you've noticed that I don't use many sentiments and are asking why that is, and the answer is
Drum roll please.........................
That I have no answer, Yup you read that right. I really don't have an answer to give you. I love them, I have them, yet I don't use them.
Oh well, just one more thing for me to ponder over.

This card I brightened up so you could see the felt on it better.
I got this design in 2004 from Craft Creations magazine and I loved it way back then.

I watered colored the background on watercolor paper, trying to get that warm african sunset feeling. I think I'm off the mark a tad, but all in all I think it turned out alright.
The giraffs are cut out of thick felt as you can see on the top pic, which gives it dimension.
I did however go a bit overboard roughing up the edges of the card, as you can see I ripped a piece out of the top.

But hey It's homemade paper and it has it's own flaws which is fine with me.

Tonniece, I think it's marvelous that you are using all sorts of materials and techniques in making your cards. I'm seeing all these neat materials that you're using ... it's so inspiring!

I love these two cards....the bath tub is just adorable an the tiles wonderfully "wonky"! I alos love the bubbles! the giraffes are beautiful too...looks like a real African sunset....I'm going to visit home in February, not sure I'll be seeing any giraffes though, but defintely the sunset!
