Kelle the Meerkat from Encino Stamps.

I was given this stamp which I think is so cute, so that I could make a birthday card for a family member as she is mad on Meerkats


Kelle is coloured in using promarkers  the colours are

Cocoa,
Cinnamon
Sandstone.


the Present is promarker  Plum Preserve,
the ribbon and bow are done in promarker Lilac
the balloon is also done in promarker Lilac.





I used a Craft UK 8x8 card with Sugar Buttons Purple rose glitter card from Karacter Krafts Kathryn Sturrock 
I used my EK success Bracket Edger punch to do a small boarder then I mounted purple ribbon on and I made a bow from the same ribbon which I put on the top left hand , with Purple card which Kelle is mounted on with black pen around the outside edge to give it a bit of highlight, 

I then put on some  purple pearls which are from Meiflower to give the corners some highlight.

I put a Gold Happy Birthday on to finish it off.

I have put a graphic frame around it 

The Gems and ribbon are from  http://www.meiflower.co.uk/
Sugar Buttons card is from  http://www.karacterkrafts.com

A small fact about Meerkats:

The meerkat or suricate, Suricata suricatta, is a small mammel belonging to the mongoose family. Meerkats live in all parts of the Kalahri Desert, in much of the Namibia Desert and southwestern Angola, and in South Africa . A group of meerkats is called a "mob", "gang" or "clan". A meerkat clan often contains about 20 meerkats, but some super-families have 50 or more members. In captivity, meerkats have an average life span of 12–14 years, and about half this in the wild. As everyone knows they are now famous due to the TV advert.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my Encino card....and please feel free to comment on my post.......
