Prehistoric Pals

How cute is this set? Here is a sampling of the cards I have been making using the dinos from Prehistoric Pals. The set is $18.95 and can be found on page 71 of the current Idea Book and Catalog.

Happy Birthday!

This just might be my new favorite color combonation! Mellow Moss, So Saffron, and Really Rust make this card look amazing! The happy birthday comes from the Family Phrases set. This set of phrases goes great with the dinos, Wild About You, Zoofari and of course All in the Family.

Girls Just Want to Have Fun!

Who said dinosaurs are just for boys?? I needed a girl card using this set and so here it is. Valerie and I stamped a bunch of these cards in one day. I love the colors used here, and I am not a huge purple fan.

Smacking Acetate Technique

Finally is the card I created for my Marker Club class. We used the markers in many ways for this card. First we colored Tempting Turquoise and More Mustard over a piece of acetate (transparency), sprayed with water, placed on the white piece and smoothed. Remove acetate and wipe off for next time and let it dry! We also used the markers to highlight the white grosgrain ribbon as well as separate the happy and birthday so they would fit on the tag.

Paper: More Mustard, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White, East Coast Prep Designer Paper and Tempting Turquoise
