Animal Stories

I love the little animals in Animal Stories.  They are all so cute.  There is an owl (click the link to see a card made with it), a whale (cards below), an elephant (the top card) and a giraffe (great for baby cards).  I'm going to miss this set.

The sentiment comes from the stamp set Smarty Pants, which is full of humorous sayings.

I used the scallop square punch to create the waves and scallop oval punch for the clouds. 

The background is from Circle Circus.

Here's a card I did back when the new catalog came out, but I've never posted it.  So, I decided to share it now since Animal Stories is one of the stamp sets you can earn for free during Sale-a-bration.

I punched a circle out of a Post-It note, stuck it near the center of the card and then began sponging around the circle.  After removing the Post-It circle, I was left with a moon surrounded by lots of colors;

I used a branch from another stamp.  It didn't start out a branch, but I used my imagination.  The owls were cut out and then adhered to the card.
