So Kind, Just Because

Hello there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I've used another of my stenciled Split 4 backgrounds to make a card
for our sweet Emmy.

I've stamped these cute little guys with Memento Ink and colored with Copics.

and for the boys...

Here are two more from the Split 4.  (The 4th didn't make it to a card.)

The above card on the right was shared last week.  I added a sentiment before 
sending it off.  Then I needed to do one for Luke too.

Emmy's card is adorable with those cute critters and the boys cards are sure fun ones. The split four technique is a quick way for get four backgrounds and your colors on the leaves are so pretty.

The card for Emmy is totally adorable...makes me smile big. And the 2 for the boys are super fun. The split 4 technique is serving you well.

Great use of the Split 4 backgrounds you created. Emmy’s card is super sweet. The toucan cards for the boys are so fun. They will love them.

Pat said...

I love the sweet PB hedgie and mouse on that 'split 4' background, beautifully coloured Bonnie and perfect for Emmy, then your toucans, so bright and beautiful on their stencilled leaf backgrounds, and great sentiments for the boys. Three wonderful cards much appreciated I'm sure! x

Oooh, Bon, I love this split-4 version and will be checking my leaf stencils today! The bold colors of the greens against the white are mwah and, of course, the hedgie/mouse scene and the toucans are just adorable!! (So curious why that fourth one didn't make it to a card, dang it.) Keep well! Hugs, Dolly

Bonnie, I haven't had enough time to add stenciling to the split 4 technique, but I did try out die-cuts! More to come... in the meantime I'm loving seeing these toucans again... or would that be four-cans?
Go forth and continue being fabulous, my friend!

ALL 3 of these cards are FABULOUS Bonnie! And I love how you added to the already simple Split 4 design and really ramped these cards up! PB has the most ADORABLE images and Emmy is going to LOVE her card! Of course those Toucan's are pretty sweet too nestled amongst the leaves, so the boys will definitely not feel left out! Awesome cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)

Split 4, that's new to me, but what a great idea for making a few cards. The leaves are truy vibrant and the perfect setting for all these creatures. Beautiful fun cards and so specially coloured...for your sweet kids. They must have been so happy receiving these from a very special lady. xx
