Sigh....Such a Sad Sloth

Here’s another card made with the Back On You Feet Stamp Set. He’s so sad; he reminds me of Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh…sigh!

This would be a great card to brighten up someone’s day who’s going through a rough time. Doesn’t he just make you smile….he’s so cute!

Isn’t this a great sentiment? I stamped it with black ink and then stamped the leaf image with Granny Apple Green lifting after the first stamp and stamping a second and third time without re-inking.
