Hi there my crafty friends! I am sharing one of my favourite sloth cards! I started with the
Tribal Fabric stencil and decided to go bright! I used a piece of white card and sponged
Mustard Seed and Picked Raspberry randomly all over the card. I dried it with a heat tool, then taped the
Tribal Fabric stencil over it. I sponged
Black Soot Distress ink through the stencil to make the pattern pop. Next I used the
Double Stitched Squares and cut out a centre square. I raised the outer frame with mounting foam, then recessed the centre back into it. Next I stamped the
sloth and cut it out with the matching
Sloth die. I used
Distress markers to colour, then added a
vellum backing behind. I mounted the
sloth across the centre of the card with foam. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now Sue x

Fabulous card Sue, love the background design and colours xx Hazel
Hi there Sue I do adore the oddest looking creatures of this world (I married one) but apart from the gorgeous cute Madagascar Aye-Aye the smiling sloth is also joint first when it comes to the cutest. I first saw a picture in my favourite wildlife book when I was 7 and since then I've been in love. Here in the UK there are adverts using animated sloths for various goods but they look nothing like, I've also seen sloth dies or stamps by other craft brands and they are an insult to sloths, but you have that cute loveable smiling face down to a T, just perfect and I want to cup their little face in my hands and snuggle into it lol oh dear lockdown has done me no good whatsoever, so I'll send you cute sloth smiles and much love, and hope you're day is as good as it can be, almost time to come out of hibernation xxx
Morning Sue, today's card is just sublime, I love everything about it, and the bright bold colours really make it perfect. The sloth looks like a child up to mischief with that smile. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
Amazing. I adore the lovely colours you have used.

Good Morning Sue. What a lovely little happy guy. I love this one. And your background is fab-u-lous. I have a summer top very similar to this, lol. A beautiful card to give to any member of friends and family.
STEPHANIE I love your little humorous joke about your lovely " odd creature " ... Andy ... I had a real belly laugh when I read it. No offence meant Steph.

Hi Sue, a lovely card ,I do think the sloth has such a cheerful face, which we all need to see at this time x
I adore this card Sue, the stamp and die are wonderful xx
Hi Sue, I love this vibrant background, makes me think of hot summer days (not that I am complaining about the sunshine we have enjoyed here this week) and the character you have given to your sloth is brilliant. I agree that he/she looks like a mischievious child.
Frances
Hi Sue what a gorgeous card I love the bright colours and the stencil youv'e used and of course the sloth is so cute
Stephanie I love reading your comments every day and todays comment really made me chuckle thanks for brightening my day!
This is so cute! I love the background.
What a bright, cheerful card :)
A lovely bright background to set off your mischievous sloth. They are really on trend at the moment but I don’t think their name matches their cheeky faces! Thank you Sue.
Sloths, that odd animal, are becoming popular in crafting along with meercats. I love the stencil you used and have it ordered and its on its way so definitively will take your advice on coloring for a background.
Have a good weekend, everyone,
Stephanie K
