It's a hot one today!

Currently 102 degrees and a great time to be indoors stamping. I'll be heading to my stamping table shortly!! But first another post from my last stamp camp. Some of you have seen the card and those of you that attended got to make it and the matching tin, so it's old stuff to you. :) But maybe a few who weren't here will see what we did and be all jealous! LOL!

I found the tins a M's on sale (got a gonga deal on them!). OK, so my sister actually was the one who found them and came to show me what she'd gotten, so we ran back over there so I could load up - thanks, Jonna! I'd had the idea in my head for the card and the tins went so perfectly that it was a no-brainer! Since there was a bit of a "circus" theme going on (at least there was to me) I decided the perfect thing to fill the tins with was animal crackers. You can also fit a gift card right down in there with the cookies. A fun card/gift for a kid or an adult with a great sense of humor.

The mane on the lion is done with More Mustard and the rest of the lion with So Saffron. The mane and the face are also cut out and popped up on dimensionals. One tip - be sure to color the eyes and nose with your black marker BEFORE cutting out the face. Makes it much easier! (Ask me how I know this!) The bird was colored with markers and although you can't tell much from the pic, I rolled the red square on the card (and circle on the tin) with the Rough Texture jumbo wheel.
