…only to vulgarize it…

Sharing a CAS birthday card featuring the goat from the Hipster set by Tim Holtz.

The layout of my card comes from the sketch at Retro Rubber.  I just flipped the placement of the small element in the corner of the large square to fit my sentiment.  My image stamp and the sentiment both come off rubber sets that are more than 12 months old, the Hipster set is from 2017, the Crazy Talk set earlier I think, so I’ve got the retro rubber requirement too.

I went with the funky striped designer paper so I could play along at Papercraft; I think it suits my hipster vibe perfectly too.  I’m also playing at Creative Friday using their bingo board, I’ve got the middle column covered with my text (sentiment), stamp (image and sentiment), and animal (goat).

This was one of a number of cards I gave out over the weekend, having finally caught up with the extended family and their birthdays.  The recipient thought it was pretty cool even if he was convinced the image was a kangaroo, even after his wife patiently pointed out all the ways in which it definitely didn’t look like a kangaroo!
