It is time for another Fuzzy Wuzzy Challenge! The theme for this month is to make a card in a shape, other than square or rectangle. This will be fun! Use your imagination! We are sponsored by Lili of the Valley. They are offering a fabulous prize for the winner! I decided to make a bone shaped card! Here it is:

I printed off a bone template from the internet and traced it on folded Kraft paper and cut it out so that it folds open. I decorated the inside and the outside. The stamps are Inkadinkado colored with Copic markers. The saying is Inkadinkado and  Hero Arts.The paper is Paper Pizazz. I added ribbon, a bone paper clip and a dog charm. Go check out my fellow Design Team Members work and come and play with us, you have a whole month! I am also entering it into the Moving Along With The Times #110-Don't Be Square. Thanks for stopping by!
