Welcome back to another
Global Design Project challenge. This week we have a great colour challenge for you. I had a lot of fun with this one as the idea for my card came to me straight away for a change!
Mr courier had recently delivered a big brown box to my door (I never get tired of that!). Inside the box was a cool stamp set called Here for You. The sentiments in the set are funny and a great way to lighten a perhaps sad, bad or just crazy situation. I loved "Well, this just stinks" and couldn't wait for an opportunity to use it. Hence my skunk card!
The colours in this weeks challenge suited my skunk theme perfectly. I pulled out my Fox Builder punch to make my cute skunk - so easy! We all know skunks reek and my sponged background hopefully portrays the whiffy smell that might arise from one - we don't have them in New Zealand, lol. I created a template out of vellum using the long wavy die from Swirly Scribbles Thinlits for my background.
I love how this card turned out. How could it not put a smile on the recipients face? The play on words and that cute, cheeky critter? Did you smile when you first saw it? I hope so!
