Alligator Floating in the Swamp Card

A fun alligator card for you today – isn't it amazing what a few punches and some card stock can turn into?! This card features the stamps set "See Ya Later" which is only available through Monday, March 31st. Have you gotten yours yet?! It is free with a $50 order!

I used the Petite Pennants Builder Punch for the head – the punch has a flat sided triangle shape and a scalloped one. I used the scallop one punched in white and then cut in half for the teeth. The eyes are from the Owl Builder Punch – best punch ever!

For the tail I punched out a large oval in a scrap of Gumball Green card stock. I discarded the punched out oval and went back into the scrap and punched out another oval overlapping the empty space where the previous oval had been punched – this gave me the tail shape.

This card was inspired by demonstrator Jennifer Timko – you can see her version here. The alligator body idea came from demonstrator, Stacey Cogswell.
