I chose some sweet little patterned papers from Doodlebug and layered them in the background.  Then I colored my image to match and cut it out using my Scan N Cut 2.  Some little page flags and buttons top it off.

This sweet new set features a lovely lion and his lamby pals!!! It features two main images plus three sweet sentiments! Such a perfect spring set that can be used for so many things...even a sweet baby card!

Welcome back to Day THREE of our September Krafty Peeks
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!...
Are you lovin' the new release so far? We are only half way through!! This is going to be a super sweet springtime release....you have no idea! ;)
Today we are sharing TWO AMAZING new stamp sets by our incredible artist, Annie Rodrigue! I know a lot of you have been waiting for a new BACKGROUND stamp set....and here it is!
First is ADVENTURE MOM!
Such a fabulous stamp set featuring today's active momma with her new little bundle of joy! She's a busy gal!
And doesn't Adventure Mom go perfectly with the new
FOREST BACKGROUND stamp set?!!
SO many of our fabulous stamp sets will pair up with this amazing set!
 
 
For my card, I decided to match this adorable background stamp with the oh-so-cute Whimsical Gnomes set.  I think the two match perfectly!  First, I chose one of the gnomes from the set and stamped him in the center of the paper.  Then I masked in the Forest Background stamp, added a little snail, and colored it all up to match my patterned papers.  I die cut the scene into a little circle and added some leaves and an acorn to the corner.  So cute!
