Birthday card that I made for a sweet little boy. My son borrowed this set from his Grammie so I thought I’d play too before returning them to her. Apparently I didn’t spend enough time in my youth dressing up my Barbies… I had to accessorize these poor little animals! Also, I remember seeing a few cards around where people had penciled in or used floss for a giraffe’s “mane” and I really liked the look… so I went with that too. I always use the Circle of Friendship and Riveting stamps as a seal on the back of envies, and thought I’d try using it on an actual card for once! I lent my 1” circle to my MIL so I used the scallop on in it’s place. The brown part of the actual card is stamped with Paisley, but you can’t see it in the picture at all.
Thanks for lookinÂ’!

I stamped each of the animals, and the party accessories, on white cardstock; then cut everything out and sponged around the edges. I used a white gel pen to put the details (toes, mouths, etc.) back on the animals, then I used pop dots to give them some dimension.

This is just perfect, Angela! So many wonderful details! Love the way you arranged those cute animals. Great layering, sewing and the border along the sides adds just the right touch. Adorable and beautifully done!
