CPS106 and Caardvarks Card

cps106 caardvarks-blinkie

This card is a 2-for-1 as I am submitting it to both CPS and to the Caardvarks challenges. The Caardvarks challenge was to use critters. I am loving my new stamp set by Colorbok. I had leftover supplies from my previous owl card and used them up for this cute little guy. Not sure what he will be used for, but he sure is darn cute.

oh-deer

I love the layout of this card. I woke up one morning with an epiphany and decided to cut off the front of the card! The bottom middle photo shows how the card front is cut off at the wave.  The top scalloped circle matches the inner circle which creates such a neat effect. I’m going to use this idea more in the future.

Materials
Pattern Paper: My Mind’s Eye
Cardstock: Bazzill
Stamps: Colorbok Friendly Forest
Ink: Colorbox

    Oh, Lisa! This critter card is sooo very cute! Also I like the way, the front circle matches the writing area – I will for sure keep that in mind for one of my future creations.
