Shaped Boys Animal Card

Here is a card that I made to have on hand for a little boys birthday.  I used the cricut cartridge Wild Card 2 for the lion.  I did some inking with brown ink to really show off the lions mane.

I am planning on entering this card in the following challenges:

Embossing Paste Background

This card was made creating a background using translucent embossing paste that I tinted with some Ranger distress ink (peacock).  The stencil that I used was also from the Ranger product line. I used a 3d butterfly sticker from "my stash". I stamped the saying onto a scrap piece of card stock that matched the color quite nicely. I was happy with the way this one turned out.

Time To Craft And Share Once Again!

It has been a very long time since I posted any cards or layouts on my blog.  With some of my much loved sites having some very inspiring challenges I have decided to have some crafting fun and join in the challenges and start posting once again.  So here goes:

The Zebra Celebrate card was so much fun to make. Creating the background with black crackle, using the buttons for balloons and of course cutting the zebra from Create a Critter Cartridge.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges :
