Greeting Card Kids on an Alligator for A La Card Monkey Girly Card Challenge

Hi Blogging Friends!!

This week at A La Card Monkey we are doing a "Girly" Challenge!!! I just had to make a card with the girl standing on the Alligator, so cute and fun! The Alligator stamp that I had was from "Wild about you" from a few years ago. It is one of my all time favorites, and one of my most used stamp sets.

I used hemp thread as a rope for the Alligator. Even though that Alligator is being ridden like a horse, he sure does have a cute smile and looks happy.

Here is the sketch, I really stuck to it this week.

 

I used the Poppy Parade marker to outline her dress then used an Aqua Painter to color in the rest of the dress. The rest is all just markers.

You can see that I added Crystal effects to the Alligator to make it look wet. My Husband was having a bad night and I told him to come look at my card and it would cheer him up, he really like it. Do you want to hear what happened to him... if you get sick easy don't read this. Ok so he was in bed and we have a cat that we adopted from "Paws" her name is "Tuesday". She went under the covers in our bed while he was in trying to sleep and Pooped on the bed!! Yes under the blankets! so gross! We are thinking that she came from a Hoarder house before we adopted her. And we are losing our minds!! She peed in the dishwasher the other day.
