Melon Mambo is making many appearances on my blog this week – it’s not my go-to color, but I seem to be showing it a lot of love this week (and it’s returning the favor). I shared an adorable, purple dinosaur yesterday with the Darling Dinos Bundle (you can see that card here) – and I loved it so much I made another card with the many of the same elements. Here’s the fun card I made with Darling Dinos:
While yesterday’s dinosaur was purple with pink spikes, today’s dinosaur is pink with purple spots – completely different. I also showcased this dinosaur on a Stylish Shapes circle over a backdrop of Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper and a sprinkling of Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins. What fun! Here’s a look at this adorable bundle:
This brontosaurus on my card is ready to party and celebrate your birthday, so I’ve given him a party hat and fun balloon. He’s the best kind of party guest – you won’t have to share your birthday cake with him because he’s a herbivore (eggs and flour will not appeal to him). Still, he’s ready to celebrate you! Here’s a closer look at my Melon Mambo and Fresh Freesia party animal:
The sentiments in this fun set offer some great dinosaur puns (like the “t-rrrrific” t-rex sentiment I shared yesterday. Another one I love has “ROAR means [blank space] in dinosaur” with several sentiments you can add to the blank space to fill in the blanks (“HAPPY BIRTHDAY” and “YOU’RE THE BEST” and “I LOVE YOU” are options in the set). I stamped the sentiment on Fresh Freesia with Memento Tuxedo Black and cut around it with my paper snips. Here’s a closer look:
Like yesterday’s card, I showcased my dinosaur against a Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper backdrop. For today’s card, I selected four patterned designs and layered them in strips that added fun colors behind my celebratory dinosaur. Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper is a free option with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in this pack of papers:
I added a sprinkling of white sequins from the Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins to add a little shine to the card. These sequins are another great Sale-a-Bration offering with a $60 order. What fun!
