A colleague at work recently celebrated her birthday and she is obsessed with sloths. I remembered I had this fun stamp set from Tracey Hey which would be so perfect for her.
This is the card I made:
I made a matching envelope:

I also decorated the inside:
I began by stamping the fun image with memento tuxedo black ink and coloured the image with Promarkers. I cut the panel and added a chocolate brown layer behind it to frame the image. I made a kraft card blank and attached a piece of patterned paper with liquid glue. I then attached my coloured panel onto this with foam tape. I finished by adding some sequins for a bit of bling. For the inside I used the same chocolate card and added the left over pieces of patterned paper to the edges and stamped a sentiment in the centre. Simple but I think it ties everything together to use elements from the front of my card on the inside.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge - frame it
Crafty Hazelnuts's Patterned Paper challenge - use patterned paper
Allsorts challenge - I love.... challenge (I love colouring, cute images and making my own envelopes)
Simon Says Stamp IG monthly challenge - put a stamp on it
I hope you are all keeping well. The news is full of talk that there may be another lockdown soon; I really hope it doesn't happen this time. Let's hope everyone complies with wearing their masks and social distancing before it gets that far.
Enjoy the lovely weather but remember to stay safe.
