Turtle Friends Spotlight #2

Wouldn't this card be fun to send to a girlfriend? I often need a belated card so this is a perfect design to make a few extras to have on hand.

The colorful Hand Penned designer series paper is so bright and airy and a fun contrast to this plucky turtle.

I hope this card inspires you and that you will enjoy making this at home. The tutorial is below and the supply list is at the end of this post. Products are available while supplies are available, so don't be a slow turtle, be sure to order what you like!
