You're How Old?

Here's the card I decided to make for two challenges: The Paper Players Theme Challenge #252, The Great Outdoors, and Aud Sentiments Challenge #135, Animals.

First, the goose was stamped on white cardstock with gray ink and sponged. It was cut with an oval die, adhered to a slightly larger gray scalloped oval cut and then a white oval cut to achieve the picot look. The sentiment was stamped on white cardstock with gray ink, fussy cut, adhered to DSP and fussy cut again.

On a card base of light gray, a panel of gray burlap cut at an angle was adhered with an angled cut of DSP. Textured silver foiled cardstock was adhered to cover the seam. Two banners were cut from coordinating DSP and another from the foiled cardstock then adhered to the burlap.

The focal element and the sentiment were then  popped up with a backing of craft foam and adhered. The card interior was lined with a panel of white cardstock trimmed with a strip of coordinating DSP.

I was inspired by THIS lovely card.
