Sweet Racoon

Hi there 🙂 It’s hard to believe that the first week of March is almost past already!!! Time for a brand new ATG challenge over at Creative Fingers!! We are lucky to have Maria Medel Illustrations as our sponsor this time, and she has generously provided the DT with images to make our inspiration pieces. I used the cute Racoon image to make a gift card holder to thank someone special. I colored him up with my Copics, then cut him out with a stitched rectangle die. I folded some gray CS to form the base of the holder, then chose some plaid paper for a background. I added a stamped and die cut sentiment, then arranged the front with a white mat. For the inside, I die cut and folded over the gift card “pocket”, then glued it in place. I used the same plaid paper, and die cut a window into it before layering it over some white CS. This coordinates with the white matting on the front, as well as leaving a space to write a personal message.

I’d like to enter this in the following:
