Addicted to CAS...Pet!

It's time for a new challenge at Addicted to Clean and Simple!
I used a simple sketch from Freshly Made Sketches for my card.
I looked through my stamp sets and found next to nothing that would work with this code word. I have Zoo Babies, but they aren't really pets. I was going to use one anyway because that is as close as I could get, but then I remembered the cute little iguana from Tag It and I decided that is closer to a pet. lol
I found the majority of this Tag a Bag Accessory Kit that we had used at Convention and thought it would make a fast little focal point for my card.  I had fun coloring the stamp in with my markers...I don't do that very often!  Since my tag was a little detailed, I decided I must leave the rest of my card fairly simple to fit with our CAS requirement. I stamped the polka dot stamp from one of the MPP kits (the one with the banners that were supposed to be a cake topper...I made mine into scrapbook titles though!) once on each end and then centered a piece of Tangerine Tango cardstock.

Stamp Set: Tag It, Party Pennants (MPP Kit Polka Dot Stamp)
Cardstock: Tangerine Tango, Whisper White
Ink: Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Tangerine Tango
Accessories: Tag a Bag Accessory Kit, Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon, Dimensionals

    This is adorable and I'm sure there are plenty of Iguana's that are house pets! Your tag is lovely set against that wonderful CAS background xx

    Wonderful layout -- I'm not sure I would want an iguana as pet, but I know people have them, so well done, it works! :)

    Hi Shana. Your Iguana is so fun and I love him with his bouquet of balloons. Great colors and love the yellow striped DP for the tag. Fun layout and design too - perfect for this tag card. Loll xx
