Okay, I intended to go to bed after I posted my first card for
CASE this Sketch Challenge #13, but I just couldn't sleep because of the sick feeling in my stomach that my card looked so much like someone else's entry on a previous challenge. (If you're curious, you can read more about that
here.) I'm just so thankful that I am the one who noticed it. I would certainly never ever want to appear to be taking someone else's ideas. I needed to make a thank you for my husband's colleague who gave my son a very thoughtful gift today anyway, so I went back to the craft room and whipped this card up. I actually don't like this card nearly as well as my first one, but at least I'll be able to sleep now.
It's a pretty simple card. The most detailed thing was probably the flag. I made the little banner, wrapped it around a toothpick, then cut the elephant's trunk with an exacto knife, so he could hold it. And I masked the animals as I stamped them, so they could stack a bit better. And that's about it. :)
Again, this is the sketch I used. (I just flipped it.)

This is adorable! Love that cute stack of animals and the flag is awesome! Thanks for playing along with CAS(E) This Sketch this week!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun idea - a great way to add lots of colour and still leaving lots of clear space! You've done well this week, on both your cards - so glad you played along with CTS!
