To a GRRRReat friend!!


Mornin' hens! Hope you all had a good weekend! I sure did, nice and relaxing.... Ahhhh!!

I needed a quick birthday card for a friend of mine so I decided to ink up "Daisy Lion" from Stamping Bella and use Tony the Tiger's "grrrrr-eat" line with it! LOL! I think it turned out kinda cute, don't you? I started by digging through my paper stash and came up with Cosmo Cricket's Early Bird collection. Wow, that definitely was one of my favorite collections!! I stamped my image onto some of Bella's Bestest Paper and colored him with my Copics. I added some shading around the edges with some distress ink and punched out the image using my Marvy Jumbo circle punch. I made the red frame by using the same punch with some SU Real Red CS and then using the Marvy Super Jumbo scalloped circle, lined up the hole inside the scalloped circle and punched out the frame. For an extra pop of red, I tied on some Baker's Twine around the bottom and added a button on top. To finish, I printed this sentiment and made a banner by folding the edges under and cutting "v's" on each end. Super simple card and cute too!

Okee dokee, that's it for me today. I hope you hens all have a TEE-RIF-FIC Tuesday and I'll see ya back in the hen house Thursday mornin! Get that Kraft CS ready, it's almost time for TKT #50! Awwwwwwk! {{{hen hugs}}}
