Party Animal!

Hi everyone! Happy Monday!!

ETA: Did you see THIS news on the Stamping Bella Blog??? Someone pinch me because I still can't believe it!

Here is a card I made to add to my birthday card stash...I NEVER seem to have enough on hand, especially for the boys (big and small)!!

For my card, I used this UBER adorable King of the Wild Things from Stamping Bella, and I stamped him in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock. I colored him with Copic Markers and cut him out with Rectangle Nestabilities.

The sentiment, "party animal" (how perfect is that may I ask?), is from Scraplines Tickets, also from Stamping Bella, and I colored it with Copic Markers and cut it out!

The paper is Nook & Pantry by Basic Grey, which I paired with my favorite, go-to color cardstock, Suede Brown Dark by Prism.

I used my Apron Lace Border Punch for a bit of interest and all my layers were sewn on my sewing machine. Some Basic Grey Brads and a double ribbon finish this one off! I am not sure I can part with this card though...this little guy just makes me smile!

Thanks SO much for stopping by!!

Recipe:
Stamps: King of the Wild Things & Scraplines Tickets from Stamping Bella
Paper: Suede Brown Dark (Prism), Choice Buttercream & Nook and Pantry by Basic Grey
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black & Memento Canteloupe
Accessories: Copic Markers, Rectangle Nestabilities, Basic Grey Brads, Sewing Machine, Twill Ribbons, Apron Lace Punch and Foam Tape

    Jodi, he's SO CUTE!!! I love the colors on the card and that little guy is just adorable :0) He reminds me of my little guy and his newfound love of dinos! I think the ticket stamp was a great touch too, really cute.

    I wouldn't be able to part with it either, but it would be most likely that one of my boys would hide it on me ;) lol!
