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

The inside liner was edged with the same washi tap I used on the envelope.

great card and (zoo) animal . Thank you for playing at the AAA Cards Challenges
Maxine, this is a eye-catcher. I really like how the giraffe sticks its head out of the peek-a-boo frame.
Maxine, you’ve done a great job with this card! How wonderful to get this set as a freebie with a magazine. He is so very cute, and I love how his head is sticking out of the square. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We appreciate your participation!
Another wonderful card Maxine - love it. Sorry to read your trip is off - I would not want to travel too far at the moment either. Things are so uncertain out there.
What agreat card! Love that image! Hugs, Gerrina
A Super card, I love the framed giraffe, great design. Sorry your trip is off, my brother & SiL are off to Japan in April, they have changed their flight to get to Tokyo, by going via Turkey. I hope you can get something else to have your holiday. x
Beautiful and creative.
What a super giraffe, spot on for our Wildlife theme at We Love Stamping. Thank you for sharing. Sarah
Perfectly framed and so cute too. CarolG
Thank you for your visit, Maxine! I somehow missed that you were back online or I had a brain fart. I loved your post explaining the journey and adventure you went on in getting this card made - we can all relate! And it was very worth it! It's a delight!
Still, it's not the same as the adventure and journey you were planning and I'm so very sorry that our messed-up expletive deleted was the cause of it being cancelled. The whole world is impacted and we are so angry and, well, I can't talk about it ... where's my wodka, Hammy? Big hugs, Darnell
Such a cute card. I love the image you used and it's a great layout.
So cute. Happy Easter. Hugs. xx. Love you friend.
