This little guy is just too stinkin’ cute! A friend of mine asked me to make her a card for her son, who is in 3rd grade, and was going through a difficult time. I immediately thought of this Otter cuz you just can’t be sad when you see his little face! I added a few other touches, such as the embossed background, but otherwise kept it pretty straight forward. I hope he likes it!

Project Instructions

1. Fold the 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” piece of Basic White cardstock in half at the score line.  Burnish well with your Bone Folder to create a crisp fold.

2. Using the 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Pacific Pint cardstock, run through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Splatter folder – you will need to run it through 2x to emboss the entire piece of cardstock.  Adhere to base card.

3. Using the 3 1-3/4” squares of Basic White cardstock, stamp the otter image in different directions using Black Memento ink.

4. Color in the otters using the Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil; use the Black Watercolor Pencil to darken his nose.

5. Adhere the 3 stamped squares of Basic White Cardstock onto the 1/8” large pieces of Basic Black cardstock.    Adhere these 3 pieces onto the base card as shown on the picture.

6. Using the 3/4” piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp the sentiment using Black Memento ink.  Adhere to the Basic Black rectangle and then adhere to base card to finish.
