This is a one-layer card. I used a sketch for inspiration.
I printed the llama, coloured it with pencils to look festive. The circle is a die, held in place and sponged over with Distress Inks to make a frame. The sentiment is stamped through the design.

Do you remember the poem about the 2L llama? We learnt it in primary school in spelling class. Here it is with an hilarious addition:
The one L lama, he's a priest The two L llama, he's a beast And I will bet my silk pyjama There isn't any three L lllama. -- Ogden Nash (to which a fire chief replied that occasionally his department responded to something like a "three L lllama.") |

Oh my gosh. The 3 L llama from the fire chief made me think of a Boston, Massachusetts accent here in the USA. I love it. Never heard that poem.
