I haven't crafted in over a week! I have been so busy with school, work, and spending time with my husband now that he is home (and is on leave for a month). I just needed to do something, so I created this cute little card for some challenges. The card is quite large, 5 3/4"x8 3/4." I used a fun plaid cardstock and wrapped it with a bunch of ribbon. My large glitter orange square is 5 1/4"x5 1/4" and I rounded the corners. Each of my little white squares is 2 1/2" and I rounded a corner on each one. I used parts of Scrappy Moms Stamps for the sentiments on each square and a whole stamp for the inside sentiment. My little animals are all 2," except for the poodle, which is 2 1/2," and the number 2 is 1 3/4." I flocked the belly of the bird, all the fleece of the sheep, and all the fluff of the poodle. I used Peachy Keen face stamps for all the animals. I added pearls to the flower on the hippo and the number 2. I tied a bow with the white ribbon and added three buttons, all laced with embroidery floss. I finished it off with some white pearls on the ribbon.
