He lived in a box.
He swam in a puddle.
He climbed on the rocks.
He snapped at a mosquito.
He snapped at a flea.
He snapped at a minnow.
And he snapped at me.
He caught the mosquito.
He caught the flea.
He caught the minnow.
But he didn't catch me.
My brother loves turtles. I can't even begin to count the number of turtle pets he's had in his lifetime (and still has). When I saw this cool Ceramic Turtle Box by Jonathan Adler (this week's SCS Inspiration Challenge) I knew I had to make him a turtle card.
I love the monochromatic design and the combination of textures, so that is what I translated into my card.
I decided on a light green paper and used tow different embossing folders for the texture. I started by hand cutting the shell, and then the body. Next I attached the head and tail. The finishing touch was an adhesive pearl eyeball.
A small square card is attached to the back of the shell to write a little note.
I hope you find inspiration.
That is cute – great job copying the box.
WAY cool! Love your turtle card!
Oh My Goodness!! What a GREAT turtle!! I know he’ll love it.
omg–toooooo cute and too clever! ♥♥♥ (btw–extra points for the visual joke of the turtle card sittin’ on A FROG!!!) 🙂
