Welcome Little One

This is another card I made using an image I cut from the Animal Expedition DSP- this time a Kangaroo with a baby in its pouch, as well as 2 giraffes - oh, and the little frog way up in the tree top.

Doesn't it make a cute baby card?

Starting with a base of Call Me Clover card stock, it was layered with Whisper White embossed with the Trellis embossing folder.

On the left side was adhered a 2" piece of Animal Expedition DSP (with all the leaves on it).  A 1/2" strip of the DSP was reversed and adhered along the edge of the DSP.  It looks like chevron ribbon, but it's actually DSP.

On the focal piece I stamped the branch image from Animal outing a couple of times and coloured them with SU markers.  Then I adhered the kangaroo, the giraffe and the frog and added the second giraffe on the outside of the focal piece.

This Whisper White piece was matted first with Call Me Clover and secondly with Lemon Lime twist card stock before adding it to the card front (at an angle) using dimensionals.

The sentiments are the Animal Outing stamp set.

Some bling in the form of clear embellishments finished off the card.

Supplies Used:

Stamps:  Animal Outing

Inks:  Black Memento, Basic Gray (to sponge cut out images), markers (Call me Clover, Daffodil Delight)

Papers:  Call Me Clover, Whisper White, Lemon Line Twist, Animal Expedition DSP

Accessories:  Trellis embossing folder, Dimensionals, Embellishments

Thank You Big Time

The images in the Animal Outing stamp set do make a lovely thank you card, but that's not where I got the image for this card.

Would you believe I fussy cut the images from the Animal Expedition DSP?

This is a picture of a two toed sloth, so technically I should have placed him upside down.

I cut him out of the DSP, sponged the edges and adhered him to a 2 1/2" circle "dotted" with the  stamp from the Timeless Texture stamp set.  I sponged the edges of the circle with Mossy Meadow ink as well. Some Glossy Accents added to his body made him look more alive and realistic.

I started with a top folding Crumb Cake base, layered with a Very Vanilla piece embossed with the layered petal embossing folder.  The edges were sponged with Soft Suede ink before adhering it to the card base.

To the left is a notched animal print (also from the Animal Expedition DSP) with a rectangular piece of Crumb cake card stock embossed with the stripe and scallop embossing folder tucked underneath it.

The sentiment , from the same stamp set is punched out with the 1 1/4" circle punch and adhered just below the embossed crumb cake piece.  The word "friend" is from "A Big Thank You" and is punched with the Classic Label punch and then adhered just below the main sentiment.
