Anything but cute at Countryview Challenges

Hello there! How are you? I do hope you are well! Its the 1st February already and time for a new challenge at Countryview Crafts. The Challenge is 'Anything but cute'. I suspect most people would say my card isn't cute ....but I'm not so sure - I just adore lizards!!!


I used two stamps from a set just released by France Papillon. Yes there are two different lizards here and thats why I was drawn to this set! I made the background using distress oxides....I used cracked-pistachio, lucky-clover and peeled-paint to create the background then stamped in wendy-vecchi-archival-ink-fern-green before overpainting in some distress ink colours. The words were added using a stencil from aallandcreate.


Here's a closer look at one of the lizards - definitely not cute is he???? Ha ha!

I hope you can join our challenge this month - you may win a £20 voucher to spend at Susans fabulous shop! Look for more inspiration and link up here.

Big hugs

Rachel xx

    Amazing card, dear Rachel! I don´t think it is cute, although I like lizards too =). Great color choice too!
    Have a good time!

    This is fabulous Rachel, I too love lizards. When we lived in Singapore we used to watch them in the mornings running across the ceiling in our bedroom!

    He's a lovely lizard Rachel but I think you can get away with him being non cute! I love seeing little lizards when we go to Rhodes, blink and they are gone. Your card is really super, great greens and I love the lizards in the background too. Happy Feb xxx

    You give a good impression of a lizard in the jungle! I don't think the style is cute, it's more of a realistic image so perfect for my challenge!

    A super card Rachel, I don't think I would call a lizard cute - not a live one anyway. Lovely colours and great background.

    Hi Rachel, I love your card, the colours are amazing and the image of the lizard is brilliant. I think they are fabulous creatures, Damian has a few, along with a Gecko, and other strange critters, Kate x

    Rachel, this is stunning! You have done an amazing job with your colors and design!

    My Roger cat would love to chase this lizard around the house! If you love lizards, you should come visit me! Every once in a while one gets in the house, and my cat is in 7th Heaven! Hugs!
