I have a 'free' day today and
I was able to 'just have fun' with a simple card I
did for the challenge at Dragonfly Journeys,
which is "It's A Jungle Out There".
I normally have my card made
and then find challenges to enter it in to.
I think that is the 'norm" for most of us most of the time.
But it is so fun to pick a challenge first,
then make something precisely for 'that' challenge.
After all, isn't 'that' what a 'challenge' is??
I looked all through my stash trying to figure out what
I wanted to use. I found elephant stamps, giraffe stamps,
monkey paper and goodness knows my Cricut had 100's
of things I could of used, but I decided on this silly, silly 'Gator'!
I colored him in with my Copics
(note to self...buy a few 'bright' green Copics)
with the green Copics I have for now.
I used a glitter pen for all his teeth,
nostrils and nails.
I used some very old designer papers
and a few metal flowers I have also had forever it seems.
He's simple, he's colorful, he's fun!!
You should try this challenge out,
she has the most fun gift packets she sends out
if you are selected the winner....
and she has fun challenge themes as well!

Oh, my gosh, he's so cute! Reminds me of the Valentines we used to pass out as kids, and that is such a fond memory. I always want to make those Valentines as an adult. Super, super cute and your coloring of this gator rocks! Really love the flowers. I'll have to go look at the challenge. The two you shared this in are right up my alley, but don't think I'll have the "free" stamping time. Looks like it might not rain today and I should get outside and trim a fuchsia.
An adorable card Diana, a lovely design with fabulous colours and papers..........your Alligator is adorable along with sweet details!!
