So challenge #10 at Cas-ual Fridays (see sidebar for link) is to make a Clean And Simple SHAPED Card. I had to put my thinking cap on for this one, although now that I have looked through the amazing submissions I could have been more inspired had I done that earlier! If you have a chance to swing by and see all the great shaped cards - do so. It's worth it!

The holly punch is by Emagination, and the heart is a Tim Holtz Sizzix die. Both are stamped with a background image (Stamps by Judith), edges are inked and doodling added with a brown pen. The heart was popped up with foam tape. I cut another bone shape slightly smaller, inked and doodled on the edges of that, then attached it inside with a red Merry Christmas greeting (DeNami Design). The red envelope is stamped with a bone tree (Magenta) in hunter green, then the little bones were coloured with pencils. Totally a cute card to give a groomer, vet or dog care provider from your furry kid. :-)
Originally I thought I'd add a smaller bone shaped panel to the front of the card, but when I decided not to I had a large bone die cut to add to my 'Odds and Sods' pile. Plus, I cut both heart shapes -- so I had an extra heart too. I'm trying to USE UP that pile, not add to it ... so I immediately put together this card to have on hand. Hope I don't have to use it for a very, VERY long time.

Thanks for stopping by today!
