We just heard that friends are going to be grandparents for the first time in the spring so this card will be going out to them. It was also created for today's Limited Supply Challenge.
We could use basic cardstock (I choose Very Vanilla), a couple of layers of DSP, a piece of ribbon, a main image, grounding stamp, and greeting. Coloring tools. I choose to stamp the Rhino from Zoofari onto the DSP and then I used a white gel pen to color in the horn, teeth and toenails. I hand drew a bow onto VV CS and colored with a marker to add a little whimsey. The faux piercing along the edge was done with a fine tip marker and the brown layer was sponged. The greeting was computer generated using the SU Passing Notes Font.

I entirely forgot that faux piercing was allowed. Aren't you smart. Me? DUH. Anne.
