Awesome Otters Birthday

Awesome Otters Birthday

Today I am sharing a quick little birthday card with the Sale-a-bration Set, Awesome Otters.  This set makes up some really cute cards, and they don't have to be difficult.  For today's shared project I used my blends to color the image and created a custom background with just some simple repeated stamping on the Simply Marbleous DSP. (Also a Sale-a-bration Item)  The full instructions are included here and some photos as well.

Happy Stamping,

Susan
