Umbrella Ants - Hugs


I created this card using a sketch from Sassy Studios Design and pretty much copied it as it was laid out. I astonished myself in that I did not embellish it any further ( I do like my embellishments:O)!  I found I quite liked it as is! The darling image is from a Doodle Pantry stamp set from their April 1st release (see here) and is free with purchase April 1st thru April  24th.. The Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge #22  is still on till April 24th and you receive a free stamp set just for participating (theme  - must use a Doodle Pantry image  and  they do have freebies to choose from),  plus a Doodle Pantry prize if you win. All good deals , do go take a look!

      Such a fun card, Glenda! And those ants look like they are having fun too. I like the embellishments minimally also. Sometimes simpler is better!

      Oh, Glenda, this is marvelous! I have this set but haven't used it yet. It would be perfect for the "April Showers" part of the challenge at Paper Creations Ink, where I'm guest designing this challenge. Won't you think about entering it there? :-D
