Darling Donkeys Sneak Peek

 


How cute is this card? It really puts a smile on my face!

It's another sneak peek from the 2021 January - February Sale-A-Bration catalogue! I love these three sweet donkeys! They are so full of mischief looking for a place to happen!!

I have kept this card fairly clean and simple and let the donkeys be the heroes!

Card Measurements

Card base: 29.7cm x 10.5cm

1st layer:    5.5cm x 14.5cm

2nd layer:    5.2cm x 14.2cm

DSP layer:    4.3cm x 14.5cm

Inside layer:    14.5cm x 10cm




Instructions

Score card base at 14.9cm and fold in half. The donkeys were stamped with Memento on Whisper White and the bottom and middle donkeys were masked before the donkey was stamped above them. Colour donkeys with Stampin' Blends and add a little of the fine tip glue to their hooves. Adhere the Whisper White to the Gray Granite and adhere to left front of card base. Adhere DSP to the right front of card base. Adhere inside layer to inside of card base back. I saved a cut off from the DSP to decorate the inside layer.

Did you know donkeys have a cross on their backs? According to one legend a donkey was grief stricken by the sight of Jesus on the cross and turned away but couldn't leave. The shadow of the cross fell across the donkey's back and they have had a cross there ever since. Another legend states that it is because a donkey carried Jesus into Jerusalem prior to his crucifixion on the first Palm Sunday. There is also another legend that says it is because Mary rode a donkey to the manger where Jesus was born and they were blessed with a cross as a result!
