Today's card was made using the "Back on Your Feet" set. I found this card on the internet and I made a few changes to it. You can see the original card here. I had some trouble finding card using this cute sloth. He's not the favorite in the set so maybe that's why. But I did find this card so I thought I would play with it and see what I end up with.
The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Whisper White card stock. On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Crumb Cake card stock. And on top of that is a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Whisper White that was textured using the "Subtle" embossing folder. It gives the card stock the look of linen.
I stamped the sloth using black Memento ink on Whisper White card stock. I colored him in using by first using the light Crumb Cake Blends pen and then using the dark in the darker areas of the image. I discovered that if you color the image using the finer tip end you get even a lighter shade of the color. So I colored the sloth in using the pen part. Then I came in with the brush part and for the body parts closest to the branch, I used the Crumb Cake dark Blends pen. I colored the branch in using the dark Soft Suede Blends pen. And the leaves were colored in using the Old Olive light and dark Blends pens. I die cut the image using the largest oval "Stitched" die. I die cut a large scalloped oval using Mossy Meadow card stock. The words are from the same "Back on Your Feet" set and I stamped them on a scrap piece of Whisper White using black Memento ink. I die cut them with the oval die and I also die cut a scalloped oval for the border. When I cut the large scalloped oval, I set the small scalloped oval in the center and cut both at the same time. I added Dimensionals to both the sloth piece and the words.
I punched out some leaves using the "Leaf" punch on Mossy Meadow and Old Olive card stock.
I cut a strip of Designer Series Paper from the "Perennial Essence" 12" x 12" paper pack. This strip measures 1" x 5". I taped the strip in place about 1/2" from the edge of the embossed piece.
I set the ovals in place using Dimensionals. I slipped the leaves in behind the ovals. I used glue to hold them in place. And that was it. All in all it was a very easy and fun card to make. But I have to admit that the turtle is my favorite image in the set. I will try to use this little guy at least one more time. I need to be fair about it.

The sloth is my favorite in this set, then the giraffe. It's good that we are all different! I love your card so much that I am going to copy it exactly if that's okay. I'll be happy to give you credit on my blog post.
