Welcome
I recently bought some stamps from Ink Art Designs, and the lovely Dot Lethbridge included some extra, stamped off images, this giraffe being one of them!! Thank you Dot!
I used it to make this card for a young teen boy's birthday
I coloured him with my polychromos pencils
I had this background I had recently made, using glue and Vintage photo DI., that I learnt here
I mounted both the image, and the embossed sentiment, panels over some snippets of forest green card
Added some dis-assembled string around that layer, then adhered it to some kraft card for the base, adding the final snippets of the green card under the corners
The insode was finished with some bronze spotted washi tape.

ReplyDeleteMaxine: your young guy's bday card is wonderful!!! Terrific ideas! Love the visual textures!
ReplyDeleteI love this. There are some really nice jungle and safari animal stamps, both old and newly released, but there is something about a giraffe that always akes me smile. And of course your background is just perfect. Kate x
ReplyDeleteI must follow your link for that background. It works perfectly with that adorable giraffe image. Perfect for a teenage boy.
