Today I'm sharing a birthday card for a little boy. A friend of ours turned 5 so here is the card I came up with for him. I saw this pillowcase in Pottery Barn kids and I thought, "Hey, that would kind of look cool as a card!" We get inspiration from everywhere don't we?
I wanted to use the Dinoroar set to do the same idea. I love these little dinosaurs!
I used Island Indigo and Lucky Limeade since I thought they were pretty close to the inspiration piece and perfect for a boy. I stamped the T. Rex and the sentiment in Stazon so the outline wouldn't run when I colored it in with a blender pen and reinkers. Then I stamped the Triceratops in Lucky Limeade all around the T. Rex. You can't really see it in the photo but I used Crystal Effects just on the green stomach part of the T. Rex.
I used the Crop-a-dile to punch a hold through the layers and set the jumbo eyelet (retired). I wrapped some twine through the hole and tied a knot. I frayed the edges a bit just because.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
