Happy October1st!! It's time for a new challenge on the Critter Crazy Challenge blog! As always, it is a month long challenge: Anything Goes as long as you feature a creature. Here is my card for your inspiration:
I pulled out this cute little llama a week or so ago for another card, and just felt the need to use him again for this card. He's just so cute! I used a couple scraps that were already cut to width, I just had to trim them to the correct length. I wanted a fun background, so I pulled out an embossing folder that I had won a few years ago and had yet to use. It has a bunch of ornaments and I decided to stamp the sentiment inside one of the embossed ornaments. I stamped the sentiment and then lined it up within the ornament in question and was so excited about how well it lined up, that I didn't realize the embossing folder was upside down and I ended up DEbossing the image instead. Oh, well, it still gives a fun background. You can see the texture better in the photo below:

Oh gosh, Heather, just darling! LOVE this llama! The texture and sprigs in your background is beautiful, too! Thanks so much for playing at Make My Monday!
ReplyDeleteOops - AND Retro Rubber! Yay!
ReplyDeleteFantastic card! I think the debossed background is wonderful and I love how the sentiment fits inside the ornament. Super impressed with your Nuvo Drops too! (I can't seem to master them. (: ) Thanks for joining us at Little Red Wagon.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I use the debossed side for a different look and it still adds texture. Your background is pretty and your llama is very cute. Thanks for joining us at MMM, Johanna DT

ReplyDeleteThe llama looks so cute bundled up in his scarf and those stems and berries are really pretty. Great embossing too on this fun card.
