My Grandson"s Birthday card with Animal Outing -

I knew Animal Outing was the perfect Stamp set for my grandson Matthew Birthday card. I was getting him Little People Jungle set, soYep this was a no brainer. There is also something calming about coloring, and I love the blends and the way my rhino turned out. It does take some practice and when I was coloring I wasn’t sure about it, but after letting it sit for a while I did like more and more. So keep at it and practice, do remember to not put to much toward the edges because it will spread outside the lines. Hope you enjoy my card.

I colored using smokey slate dark and light blend and color lifter for the rhino, the ivory and lifter for the horn. Bird is colored with pool party and melody mango. Secured the circle to card front with Stampin Dimentionals.
