For my card I cut a piece of cardboard from the top lid of a box (after I removed the fun stamping goodies that were shipped in it!). I then peeled back the top layer of paper revealing the rippled layer. I then ran it through my Big Shot using a Top Note die to cut it into a fun shape perfect for a background layer. I sponged the edges with Whisper White Craft ink and heat set. I then decorated the piece with a length of grosgrain and a couple of Jumbo Eyelets.
Next I die cut this sweet lamb image using a circle die and then colored with Copic markers. I used Copic glitter pens to add touches of shine to different areas of the image. To finish I added paper piercing to the edges and applied a coating of Crystal Effects to the balloons.
For the card base I layered a piece of polka dot designer paper to a piece of Certainly Celery and added stitching with a sewing machine. I then assembled the various layers attaching them to a Kraft card base.
Accessories: Top Note BigZ die, Circle Nestabilities (SpellBinders), sewing machine, white thread, Certainly Celery wide grosgrain ribbon, mat pack, paper piercer, sponge, large Zots, Crystal Effects, Antique Brass jumbo eyelets
