Lama Fiesta Birthday

I think the lama from the Birthday Fiesta set, (page 11 of the 2016-17 catalog) is so cute.  When I started designing this card, I just couldn't stop adding things to it.  I was afraid my little lama would get away, so I had to tie him to the cactus.  Now, seriously, what lama would actually run away from me!!  
I am offering this one in all of my October 4, October 6, and October 8, 2016 classes.  
Recipe:

• The base is a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of Tempting Turquoise scored at 4 1/4.
• Next is a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Whisper White.
• Next is a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Melon Mambo, embossed with the Festive Textured embossing folder.
• The fence and fence posts are cut from Crumb Cake. The fence railings are 1/4 x 5, and the fence posts are 1/2 x 1 3/4.
• The lama was stamped with Crumb Cake ink on Whisper White card stock, and cut out with the Fiesta Time Framelits Dies.  The lama's blanket was stamped with Melon Mambo ink.
• The cactus was stamped with Emerald Envy on Whisper White card stock, cut out with the Fiesta Time Framelits Dies, and the Whisper White banner was cut out with the Fiesta Time Framelits Dies, and stamped with Crushed Curry ink.
• The little, skinny strip of Tempting Turquoise was also cut out with the Fiesta Time Framelits Dies.
• The lama's hat and the pinata were cut with my paper snips from the Festive Birthday DSP.
• The words were stamped on a 1 1/4 x 2 1/4 piece of Whisper White with Tempting Turquoise ink, and popped up with dimensionals.
• I used some Crushed Curry Baker's Twine to tie the lama to the cactus.
• Remember to decorate your envelope, can't leave the house naked, right?
