Sloths Just Wanna Have Fun slimline card

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: this posting features a non-design team project to share at several current challenge blogs owned by others. I was going through some scraps that were piling up on my kitchen table (that I took over for the past 2 years of so for my crafting work space) and found the dark brown scrap panel, the red slimline size and 2 pieces of the strawberry print that were large enough to use my circle punch on. Add some wood butterflies inked with Walnut brown  and the 'hello' with the same ink along with the 2 cute sloth stick-ons to make a cute encouragement card! 

when: card was made on Thursday Nov 13 and blogged on Friday Nov 14, 2025.
