So, on to today's card. This is something you won't find me doing on purpose, but this is a special occasion. Yes, the stamps on the outside of this card have retired, but they are perfect for the recipient, my daughter (in-law), Danielle who turns 30 today and LOVES Dinosaurs! So I mixed old with new and this is what we have.
Recipe:
Granny Apple Green - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Whisper White - 5 1/4" x 4"
Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper - 5" x 3 3/4"
Die cut an oval from Stitched Shapes (because my other ovals were packed for today's workshop)
I layered the DSP over the Whisper White and then placed the clean stamp down to see where I wanted it to be, then pulled up the DSP and stamped Mr. Rex (No Bones About It - retired) with Lemon Lime Twist and then stamped his bones over the body with Memento Black.
I added some Granny Apple Green leaves die cut with Tropical Thinlits. I'm thinking now that I look at it that I should have cut them from something a bit darker, but I still like it!
Inside I stamped with Watercolor Words. I'd forgotten how fun those are. They are not retired, so snag a set today!
Thank you for looking in today! Have a fun Saturday!

She will love the card. It is so much fun and so rich looking with all that greenery. Has she seen your dinosaur chard about the short arms? I still chuckle about that card.

She loved the card. I think I did make them a Dino Christmas last year, because she remembered that I had Dino stamps!
DeleteI was able to take the goodies and card over to her today before my son had to go to work. I couldn't believe it when around her neck was a little silver dinosaur necklace! Now she has two but the one I got her is rose gold. ha ha ha!!
Good luck with your email!
