Here is the front of my card. The card is 4x9, which fits a legal size envelope (I think). I thought it would be a great size for all my partying animals. The cuts are mostly from Create a Critter. The birthday hats and the sun are from Doodlecharms and the fence is a series of welded fences from Everyday Paper Dolls. When I first saw this sentiment, this idea leaped onto my mind. My husband took one look at it and said "Where is the cow" - I told him that the other animals were partying until the cows came home... He thought I was nuts! So I told him to open the card, and this is what he saw inside:
Cute, isn't it?? The card stock is all from Recollections. The patterned paper is a bit of a mish mash - some old 6x12 Cricut paper pads (my name is Michelle and I am a paper addict...) some K and Co paper and stuff from my scrap box. I did all the doodling with my Sakura Jelly Roll pens. I stamped both the sentiments using my favorite Versa Fine ink. I popped up a few of the animals and the fence to give the whole thing some dimension. The crowning touch on my cards - the sentiments from Cardz TV Stamps "Good Times set:
A challenge or two for my cutie card:
Creative Moments - animals
Whismy Inspiration - stitching
Anything Goes - use two of something (2 horses)
Creative Craft - for the kids
Make it Monday - anything goes
A la prochaine...
