Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Sprinkles of Life with Zoo Babies

Hi

Welcome to this week's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.



I saw this sketch at Retrosketches and thought it would make a wonderful card using the new Sprinkles of Life stamp set and punch. I even used the cupcake sprinkles stamp as the straw for the animals to stand on. 

Zoo Babies added some cuteness. :)

I used a stencil from a kit from the last catalogue for the sunshine, but the effect is easily achieved using a circle punched stencil and some rectangular post it notes. I used Hello Honey for the sun centre and So Saffron for the rays and used sponges to get a graduated look. 




Here are our colours for this week's challenge:
