COMFY CHAIRS

Hello!

A couple cards using an old favorite chair stamp. Playing along with CAS on Friday Challenge #261, with prompt to use designer paper. 



 TECHNIQUES

stamping and fussy cutting on patterned paper (chair) 
freehand drawing and fussy cutting on patterned paper (pillow)
basic stamping (words / chair legs - chair was stamped on card front, and again on patterned paper / spatters)
foam mounting (chair / pillow*)
colored pencil coloring (chair legs)
white gel pen  (highlights on chair legs)

* Pillow was rounded from the back using a large ball-shaped flower former on a foam pad to give it extra dimension in real life, and then it was popped up on two dots in the center only.
