Sweetly Tart.... and a thirsty Tortoise

I love this little card made with Kate's ABC's.  I should have entered THIS one for Mary's challenge
I used a sponge and various colors of Holtz' Distress ink to ink the edges (one of Mary's favorite techniques).   



Amuse-bouche: For those who have never seen a desert tortoise drink water... here's a video of Stimpy, after he woke up from hibernation.  When they first wake up after a long winter's sleep, they are hungry and thirsty.  So, I typically put Stimpy in a big pan of water and let him drink.  Here is a minute or so of him drinking.
You can see him swallowing.

  3. Your card is adorable-icious!

    Stimpy is so cute! Wow - I didn't think a tortoise could hold his head under water for that long. (Turtles, yes...but tortoises?)
