Surprise! I’m back again!! What a truly crazy month. I was finally able to get this anniversary card together with one of my favorite Essentials by Ellen Stamp sets: Otterly Awesome for Ellen Hutson’s 11th Anniversary Blog Hop.
Aren’t they just the CUTEST?!! I really like that 3d embossed background for them, too!
Here they are in action… just click on the arrow or picture below to play the short video:
A close-up view of the cute otters. rather than fussy cut around their whiskers, I just used a Copic marker as close to the background color as I could find. As mom is fond of saying, ‘it’ll never be noticed on a galloping horse’ – or wobbling cuddly otters, either!! They are, indeed, an otterly adorable couple!!

This is so very cute and adorable. I just ordered a few wobbles to see if I can use them on cards myself. That will be in the New Year though. LOL You have a Merry Christmas.

Such an adorable critter card! Love those sweet little otters and what a genius trick to color rather than fussy cut!
