To jump start that creativity, Taylor offers a special challenge specific to each KI, and this month your mission is to create a card without any stamping! WHAT??? I know!!
For my non-stamping card I went right for this chipboard owl and covered it in some of the Treehouse paper and sponged the edges with Memento Rich Cocoa ink. The Treehouse rub-ons included with the May KI have different sentiments and it was easy to add the {hi} directly to the patterned paper as well as the little rub-on flower over some Honeycomb textured cardstock. These rub-ons are fantastic! The color is vibrant and stays that way, even over darker cardstock and paper. I added some mini ric-rac ribbon for the owl to stand on as well as some yellow polka-dot ribbon (the Yellow Pearls are not part of the kit). The sketch is The Sweet Stop's SSS55.
