A Pink Prehistoric Pal

Happy Friday, y'all!  After a whole day of blizzardin' yesterday, Ryan has a two-hour delay for school this morning and he's going bonkers.  Looking forward to getting him to school so I can have a few hours of quiet : )  I have to drop him off at school, go to the grocery store, and then walk Daphne before I can relax for a bit though.  Daph didn't get go go for her walk yesterday as it was SO windy all day long, so she has cabin fever and is almost as obstreperous as Ryan at the moment.  Meanwhile I drank many cups of tea and enjoyed staying in the house while watching the blizzard outside.

Anyway, here's one of the cards I made yesterday and NEW SCHTUFF ALERT!


My pal Krissy looooooves dinosaurs and I send her cards all the time so of course I had to get Darling Dinos, and this is its maiden voyage.  I used this week's CASE-ing Tuesday sketch:


And the original card in the SAB catalog:


I looked at this and couldn't figure out what the tone-on-tone layer thing was about (you can see a faint line near the top of the card too) so I added some baker's twine instead of another layer on the bottom.

The fun colors are courtesy of the Creative Colour Challenge:


My baker's twine is technically Magenta Madness, but I thought it was close enough for what I was doing today.  And Polly's spots, horns, and toes are Flirty Flamingo with Wink of Stella glitter because that's how she rolls.

That's it for me today, peeps.  Cheers!

Oh, this is cute! The pink and green are striking and fun.
We'd be happy to take some of your snow... We've had one good snow day the whole season. I keep hoping...!

What a cutie! Your card reminds me that I have some of that DSP and it looks so great with the dino (I need to remember that when I get mine out!) Hope you managed to find some peace to create today; no snow in my part of the UK, but it's freezing cold so tea is definitely the order of the day!
