Zany Llama Hello - Stampin' Up! Zany Zoo

   I'm taking a break from fall colors today to play along with the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge.  They want us to make a clean and simple (CAS) card using Blueberry Bushel, Daffodil Delight & Fresh Freesia.  Such a pretty color combo!

  I went with a stamp I hadn't used before from the Zany Zoo set but is super cute and is great if you have a knitter in your life that you make cards for!


  This was a hard one to photograph with all the white and I've been struggling to get decent photos on sunny days anyways so just squint your eyes a bit and go with it!

  This is a super simple card with an easy layout to highlight the long skinny image.  I started with a Basic White thick base, then a panel of Basic White embossed with the Distressed Tile embossing folder.

  The llama is stamped in Memento and then colored with Blends.  She (because she has blue eyeshadow!) is then die cut and popped up on a tag.  The tag is tied with a bit of retired Starry Sky metallic woven ribbon which is a close match to the Blueberry Bushel as the ribbon is a bit lighter than the actual Starry Sky ink/paper.

  The 'hello' from Go To Greetings is stamped in Blueberry Bushel and added as a little flag on the side of the tag.  The whole thing is popped on dimensionals on the card front.  A few Blueberry Bushel tinsel gems are sprinkled across the front.

  All of the current items used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?

  4. Ha ha Ha! I have never seen a Llama knit! Creative use of the colors this week for sure. I love the tag idea with the texture in background, and it still keeps the clean lines. Great Job. Thanks for joining us in this challenge at CC&S
