At Least You Aren't Extinct

Happy Tuesday,

I wanted to add a smile to your day.   I love this little dinosaur.  He is ADORABLE!   Check out the inside sentiment is sure to put a smile on your face.

  I used a light green stamp pad to stamp on the dark green paper.  I wanted it to mesh texture to be subtle.  The camera picked up the texture really well, I think it is less pronounced in real life.

 I got a small smudge on the top corner of my card.  It looked like a creative opportunity to me. 
I covered it.   Quick fix, but works.
