Playing with Trading Cards




I'm usually willing to try different things but was a little apprehensive about the size of the trading cards listed on Michelle's blog but gave it a go anyway. Here is my take using my new Pun Fun set from SU. Each card measures 3.5x2.5 inches. I think the skunk is my least favorite of the three...the flowers may be a bit much. I think I'll go wild and upload them to my Splitcoast gallery--I haven't added anything in a long time.

These are just so "stinkin' cute", LOL. I love the way you put sparkly paper behing the spaceshop and the hippo is colored so well. The skink is adorable. The flowers do seem a bit big, but skunks like to roll around in flower beds, right!!?? (thinking of the Bambi movie here ;o)

It is fun to take on new challenges. It forces us to do something outside of our comfort zone and discover new favorites!!!
