Do you ever notice that when it comes to making a kids card I turn into the President of last minute cards! I wait until I absolutely need one before my brain even engages. Sometimes my idea of last minute is a week or 2 before but for my poor grandniece I wait til I absolutely need it. Last year I made a (by the seat of my pants lol) Rainbow card that I literally just slapped together. I felt so bad because her mom normally saves all the kids I've ever made her kids and that one was not save worthy. So for this year I knew in advance that she is all into Dinosaurs. Absolutely LOVES them. So I set out to find some inspiration on Pinterest. I found a dinosaur I liked but it was one of those Svg (is that right?) files. Well I don't have that type of cutter. I'm a hand crank kind of gal. But from the looks I figured I could do some Punch Art work on it. I made it a large card 5.5"x8.5" so I could make a scene and not just have a Dino. Sooooooo............Here it is!!
The body probably should have been more oval but it wasn't until I had it glued on and I sat back and looked that it hit me that an oval would have worked better. My coconuts crack me up. I layered a dark brown circle under a lighter circle the same size except I squished it up before gluing. Ok looks NOTHING like a coconut but you get the idea and a 4 year old won't notice. I'm just excited that I was able to get a card done for her and still have 3 days until the party! Yay for me!!! Pressure off. At least for this year.
Thanks for stopping by and til next time...................
HAPPY CARDING
