Wild About You

Hi bloggers!  How about this cute little sloth to start off your day!  I used milk card and embossed it with the Pebble Rush embossing folder for my background.  Next I stamped the Sloth stamp and cut it out with the matching Sloth die.  I coloured the stamped image with Distress markers, then added it to a piece of Arctic Blue card.  I cut the foliage from the Moonlit Owl die set several times and coloured the leaves with a Forest Moss distress marker.  Next I cut a frame using the new Postage Stamp Frames out of milk card and added mounting foam to the back of it.  I added the frame over the sloth card, then trimmed away the excess from around the edges.  I added the frame to the embossed background, leaving space below it for my sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment from the Wild About You clear stamp set and cut it out with the postage stamp frames.  I added it with foam below the framed sloth .  I added the foliage coming from the corners of the frame to give it a more dimensional look of a jungle.  The card was completed with milk and black card mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8 1/2" in size.  All for now. Sue x

Oh my word Sue they are my most favourite animal, there's just something about that constant beautiful smile that I want to cup in my hands and snuggle into. Theres a few sloth rescue centres in and around the Amazon and southern America which if I could review my career I may have tried to get there, but I'm so sensitive I'd be utterly useless if one of the little chaps didn't make it, I do love how you captured the sloth and my heart. Whatever my blog friends are doing today hope it's a good day/evening xxx

Good Morning all.
This Sloth photographs very well don't you think.? He looks like he's posing for you to get a good shot. He really does look cheeky and I love him.
Have a great day.

Good Morning Sue. Awww he is lovely ... His lovely little eyes ... His cheeky little smile ... He is saying ... Hey Look at me. Beautiful card Sue. And of course your new postage stamp frame. It's just lovely and I love it.
Second vaccine this afternoon and then we are all done and dusted against this horrible disease. Just hope people will stick to the guide line rules so that we can all get back to normal again. I can't wait to get back to dancing again. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.

PLEASE KEEP STAYING 🙏 🙏 🙏

Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds

A cute card showing off that cheeky chappie again. Certainly on trend with your sloth. It’s amazing how different you make your cards look just by putting a frame round or changing a background. Thank you Sue.
