Reptile Snake Birthday Card

Created this Reptile Snake Birthday Card
using Animal Kingdom Snake image.

It is a requirement for Die Cuttin Divas
Ch#37 Scaly, Cold Blooded Reptiles
Challenge. Reptile Awareness Day is
Oct. 21.

This was my first time using vellum on
my Cricut and used settings: speed 2,
pressure 4 & blade 4 and it cut with no
problem. I thought the vellum gave the
Snake a scaly look.

Embossed both the brown & vellum pieces
of the snake with a mesh pattern embossing
folder. I thought the embossing gave the image
more of a snake skin look.

Used some Distress Ink to give it even a more
rustic look.

Added metal snake charm which is a
requirement for Celebrate the Occasion
Male B'day Card (must use metal) challenge.
