This is the card I created for this challenge.
I sometimes struggle making cute and adorable cards so this challenge was the perfect opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and stretch my skills.
A few months ago, I think it was on Black Friday, I bought this cute Llama Tell You stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs. It reminded me of the time when we had some alpacas and a llama in our backyard a few years ago.
Here are a few pictures of them:
Unfortunately we had to sell them because my youngest sister and here husband were going to build a house next to us and there wasn't enough space for them anymore.
So for my card I first made a rectangle mask and did some ink blending with Antique Linen and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.
Next I stamped the cacti and the llama with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored them with Copic Markers and cut them out by hand.
Finally I adhered them to the card base and stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink.
I also want to share my card at:
