A Framed Animal

Welcome
and thank you for visiting.

Another card for the wee swap group I am part of, and the challenge set was "animals, framed."


I knew immediately what I would do - but all did not go smoothly...


The stamps, a magazine freebie set, were trialed and then I stamped.  The giraffe was stamped in CP Over Coffee ink, on a scrap piece of card, and then fussy cut.  


The sentiment was stamped in Memento Peanut Brittle  - it felt very apt, as I was planning on a month overseas next month - a week visiting friends, and then a three week tour - but the fireworks in the Middle East put paid to that!!

That aside, I very carefully cut the aperture, positioned the sentiment below the aperture, and stamped - only to find the sentiment was upside down...oh dear.

I flipped the panel around, and it could work, so I carried on - I now think it looks better than originally planned!

The image was 'coloured' using the Peanut Brittle ink on a water brush, and mounted coming through the aperture - the head was raised slightly on foam tape.  Pale blue card was added behind the giraffe,
and the panel mounted using foam tape on a yellow card, then onto a kraft base.

A few amber rhinestones completed the front panel
