National Simplicity Day - Smile Crocodile

Hi Everybody!

at the current Day of the Month Card Club they have a challenge after my heart - National Simplicity Day. I do love making CAS cards! I also wanted to play along in the Once upon a Time challenge - see below. Therefore the croc had to make an appearance - it had been collecting dust. I have actually never used it. Shame on me!

I die cut the croc (Simon Says ) and brushed it with distress inks. Added googly eyes. I used a snowfall stencil (Simon Says) to make the confetti background using the same distress inks. The sentiment is from a little Papertrey stamp set with a matching die.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting!

Happy Stamping!
