Prehistoric Pals Forever

This is for today's INSPIRATION CHALLENGE - Design Dazzle. I found my inspiration from their DINOSAUR BEDDING SET. My grandson was crazy about some dinosaurs for over a year and now I think he still likes them but as he gets older his LOVES changes. LOL. This was the very 1st set I ever bought from TREEHOUSE STAMPS and he was the reason I bought it. I made his next birthday card using this set and he LOVED it. I love this set and have used it often. This time I made a friendship card and I used only 1 layer for Friday's LIMITED SUPPLY CHALLENGE - Shed the Layers. I stamped the volcano then the dinosaur in black. They are colored with my long neglected Prismacolor pencils then blended with Gamsol. I then sponged some creamy caramel around the volcano and old olive around the rest of the bottom of my card. I stamped the grass image in old olive. I sponged some bashful blue using an oval scallop as my masking template and in the corner just a bit of baraley banana for some sunshine. The lava image was inked with real red and summer sun then stamped above the volcano. I applied some stickles to the lava. Hope you like it. I have a long life friend that I am giving this to and I really think she will like it.
