Once I received the "See Ya Later" Sale-a-bration Stampin' Up! stamp set I just KNEW I had to try this alligator punch art! Since I didn't have the SU Petite Pennants Builder punch I improvised and cut out a free-hand triangle with 2 sides longer than the 3rd for the head. For the teeth, my intention was to use my pinking hearts border punch strip but when I punched the hearts I noticed under the punch was a perfect little zig zag strip that made fabulous teeth! I cut out a banner and then I actually did something I have never ever done .... I stamped the see ya later, Alligator sentiment without stamping the alligator image (I covered it with Washi Tape when inking, and then I colored in the alligator with a green Stampin' Up Marker so that when I stamped it, I ended up with a green alligator. I liked the way that turned out. But, my very favorite part of this project was the cardstock. I used the coredinations "Gumball green" cardstock that I had purchased on clearance and I ran it through my big shot in my distressed dots embossing folder. Once the cardstock was embossed I sanded the dots and I absolutely LOVE how they turned out! I hope you will too!

See Ya Later Alligator
Oh my, have you noticed all of the cute alligator punch art cards on some of the card sharing websites and Pinterest lately? I have seen so many great ones. Some have the entire card shaped as an alligator and some just have the alligator on the card.
