Forgetful Goose

Today’s card is for the Make My Monday Challenge. This theme is All Creatures Great and Small. I have two adorable little creatures in my card from the Silly Goose stamp set.

The MMM Design Team have all made adorable animal cards. I hope you will hop over to see them and be inspired by our ideas to make your own version. Click on the image below to be taken to the Challenge page.

Stamps

This fun stamp is from the Silly Goose stamp set. You know how I love the animal stamps and this is no exception. As a bonus, this is one of the 5 or 6 sets that can be purchased in either Photopolymer or Cling (red rubber)! The little frog is the icing on the cake for this image I think. He is just catching a free ride. I wanted this to be a bright and happy card so went with bright colors. The image is stamped using Basic Gray Ink and then colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blends. They are all listed in the Supply List at the bottom of the post.

The sentiment is also included in the stamp set. As is a few other Goose stamps that are equally as fun! To keep with the bright colors, I used Gorgeous Grape Ink to stamp the sentiment. Since I seem to always be a day late anymore on sending out cards, I may be using this stamp quite often! Grounding the sentiment is a double flower from the Petal Park Punch in Melon Mambo. And the center is a Gorgeous Grape dot from Opaque Gems. The sentiment is flagged using the Pick A Punch Banner.

Dies

Did you notice the fun shapes I used on the layers? These are from the Layering Diorama Dies. I have used them a couple of times but tend to forget about the fun and different shapes they have. Since I was simulating water they seemed to be the perfect choice here. There are a few sizes in between the two I used. I wanted more of the Balmy Blue to show, but still leave the pretty DSP as well.

Papers

There are a variety of different textures and colors on this card. I wanted bright, so began with the Melon Mambo card base. That color is carried through with the flower holding the sentiment as well as the inner tube. The layer is from the By The Bay Designer Series Paper. The mix of Balmy Blue and Pool Party perfectly matched the colors I had used to simulate the water. Plus it is a gorgeous print!

The die cut layers are what catches my eye the most. Obviously the focal layer is meant to, but the Balmy Blue layer is amazing! It is from the Textured Shimmer Designer Series paper. The lines are fairly deep and offer a lot of textured depth to the card.
