It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge!  We have a fun SQUARE sketch challenge this week!  I actually ended up making TWO cards…you’ll see the other one soon!

TURTLE-Y CUTE

I didn’t order the turtle stamp bundle, but I just ordered this fun paper!  I liked the colorful stripes and dots on the reverse side of the turtle prints so decided to get it.  Then I spotted this cute turtle drummer!  My husband was a drummer in his high school marching band MANY years ago!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 8-1/2 Shaded Spruce cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded to form the square card.
• A 4 x 4 piece of Turtle-y Cute DSP was wrapped with white Baker’s Twine and tied in a bow towards the right side, then added on top of the base card.
• The hexagon was cut from Basic White cardstock with the Meant to Bee Die and adhered to the front.
• The You Are Remarkable greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink along the right side of the hexagon.
• A 1/2 3 strip of Poppy Parade cardstock was added across the bottom.
• The turtle drummer was hand-cut from the Turtle-y Cute Designer Paper and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• A trio of Shades of Green Hexagons were added to the background.

This card makes me smile!  OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
