Oscar the Grouch

Hello, friends!  Marilyn here with Monday's Die Cut.  Before we start, here is my tip:  leave the sentiment off your card until you're ready to use it.  I made this card using Oscar the Grouch.  Oscar is holding a stack of books.  What can this card be used for?  Maybe Back-To-School?  I will probably use it for a book fan whose birthday is coming up. 

Here is what I used to create my card:

Cricut Cartridge:  Sesame Street Seasons

Designer Paper:  Echo Park "Dots & Stripes"

Twine:  American Crafts

Other:  Fun Flock "Teddy Bear Tan"

A2 sized card = 5.5" x 4.25"
Cricut Sesame Street Seasons cartridge

Card Recipe:

• Mat 1 (dark green) = 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"
• Mat 2 (green polka dot) = 5.25" x 4"
• Mat 3 (brown stripe) = 3.5" x 4".
• Twine (on either side of brown mat) = from American Crafts

• Oscar = cut image and shadow at 3.25" from Cricut Sesame Street Seasons cartridge; [Oscar3] found on page 57 of the folder.  Oscar is mounted with foam tape.
• Eyebrows on Oscar = I really didn't card for the paper cut, so I added some tan flock where the eyebrows should be.
• Trash on ground = hand torn from white card stock.

Inside of Card:
