Cool Gator

Hello!  I have a cool gator birthday card to share today!  It's also my turn to share on the SBC blog today.   I used a Cricut Circle exclusive cart called Animal Antics.  I've had this cart for a while now.  It was time to bust it out and play with it.  I'm loving it!

Recipe:
5" square cardbase in tan
DCWV - Shimmer Stack - green and gold papers

Animal Antics Cricut cart - gator @ 3 1/2"

Cuttlebug embossing folder - mesh texture--   (I debossed the gator)

Pop dots, Impression Obsession--Birthday cakes stamp set.

Technique:
To create the curved sentiment on this card:
1-cover the parts of the stamp you don't want to use with tape.
2- ink your stamp
3-peel your tape off
4- stamp
5- clean your stamp really well.
Repeat all steps as many times as it takes to create the look you're going for. 

Thanks for stopping by today!
