It's time once again for the monthly Gentlemen Crafters Design Team Blog Hop. The Gentlemen Crafters Design Team (#TGCDT) are a group of male crafters & Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, that love to share our creative side with you on the 2nd Friday of each month. Be sure to visit all the presenters in this month's hop - links can be found at the bottom of this post.

I am in LOVE with both the Darling Donkeys stamp set (so stinkin' cute) and the Oh So Ombre designer paper from Sale-A-Bration.  From the moment I saw both of these items, I knew they would go well together to make whimsical and bright projects. The Granny Apple green and Bermuda Bay colours just screamed grass and sky, and I knew I would be scene building right away.  There are literally hundreds of ways to use this GORGEOUS paper - I'm still finding new ones every time I open the package, but I want to show you one quick way you can have some instant fun with just a couple small strips and a plain white card base.  No fancy supplies or tools needed - just a couple fussy measurements and your imagination.

Such fun cards. I love your idea for the "embossed" grass and the strips of DSP as scene builders.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers from Australia

Adorable cards Kevin and what a great idea to use embossing for the grass!
