"Welcome Mat" is my final card in the series of three cards I created using the Hip Hip Hooray set in a challenge with Mona Lisa. The racoon is stamped on Shimmery White cardstock, cut out, and adhered to the welcome mat layer of cardstock using dimensionals.
The welcome mat stamp is by A Muse. I used the ticket corner punch to create the scalloped corners to accent the silver brads. The entire center piece is adhered to the chocolate layer using foam poster tape, to give the layer stability and height.
I used Dotted for the background. Instead of evenly inking the entire stamp, I pulled the ink pad in four directions across the stamp so that it inked the edges of the dots, but not the full centers of the dots. I adhered a silver Making Memories key to maroon ribbon using small glue dots.
Anna, I love your third card for your challenge with Mona Lisa. These creatures are adorable. I would have never looked twice at them. Darn. I hope I can keep from buying them now.

Too much of the challenge! All these terrific cards are just making me want more stamps! Love the door mat stamp (hadn't seen that one before, now it's on my list, too). Just gorgeous as usual.
