Created this Turtle Shaped Birthday Card
using Animal Kingdom Cricut cartridge.
First time for me making a Turtle shaped card.
Decided to make the turtle using 2 different
shades of green cardstock. Embossed the shell
image and liked the reverse embossing side.
Stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment before
attaching the shell. Used foam for attaching shell
for a 3D look.
Used chalk mixed with glue for a natural rustic
look on the shell. Used Distress Ink on the edges.
Entering this into the following challenges:
1. A Muse Studio 3/5 - 3/11
