You're kidding!

 Hi Everyone, I have 2 DT cards today, this is for -


Anything Goes but they MUST feature a critter as the main focus
Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 
Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter...

I had these stamps last year and haven't used them, but this seemed to be the perfect time to use it, for one of my Nieces birthday. She will be 55, just doesn't seem possible. Anyhow I stamped with black ink and clear embossed, the sentiment was done at the same time. I chose the colours which are supposed to be for Capricorn's, then went looking for patterned paper to match as a background layer, nope! I should have done it the other way around. The only way to match the background layer was to ink it in the same colours. I'm quite happy the way it turned out. A little orange ribbon and it was all done, simple layers and bright to post to Belgium where she lives.
stamps - Art Impressions
inks - Distress Inks
dies - Card Making Magic
ribbon - stash
 

I hope to see you at the Challenge
