Quick and Cute Card

Hey there! Clare here with cute and quick card using the absolutely adorable Cactus Animals. Somehow these little cuties slipped under my radar when I first received them, but I'm so glad I took a second look, because they are so dang fun!

I started out by die-cutting the Bold Graphic Confetti die out of white cardstock, and then adhering it to a kraft colored card base.

Next step was the adorable turtle from Cactus Animals! I colored the turtle in with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens, going over the little prickles with a white gel pen. I also colored one of the flowers from the set, cut it out, and adhered it to the die-cut turtle. Both were stamped in Black ink.

It's kind of hard to tell from the photo, but I dry-embossed two of the Rectangle Infinity dies to give a little frame to the white panel, and then adhered it to the base.

I stamped the sentiment in Rose Madder on pink cardstock, cut it out into strips, and adhered it to the card along with the die-cut turtle.

This card was such a snap to make! I'm thinking about making an entire set, using the rest of the adorable cactus animals and using different color ways for each!

Thanks for stopping in and God bless!

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share a step-by-step tutorial using the Snowflake Background Etched Dies from the Lisa Horton Snowflake Kisses Collection.
