You're Amazing

Hi bloggers!  I stamped and cut out two of the Giraffe dies.  I nipped the giraffe out of both frames, then proceeded to make a new frame for them.    I used the Cut Corner Rectangles and cut the frame out of tan card.    I glued the two giraffes inside the framw, then added mounting foam to the back of the frame.  Next I used the In Awhile Crocodile stencil and taped it to a piece of milk card.  I used Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink through the mask.  I taped the stencilled piece to the frame with the Giraffes in it.  I cut a larger piece of milk card and used one of Sam Poole' dies to add detail under the frame.  I used the Cheesecloth background die cut in milk card.  I added the frame over it and added my sentiment in the lower corner.  I used a sentiment from the Wild About You clear stamp set and cut it or with the Safari Tags die set.  I inked it with Antique Linen while it was still in the die.  I added a few leaves around the frmae and they were cut from the Tropical Flora die set.  The card was completed with milk mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  8 1/2" in size.  All for now.

    Good Morning Sue and all
    Another beautiful card.
    I do love the way you give the animals from the set to each have their own personality.
    The background is quite soothing and I think the two Giraffes are both female and very proud.
    Thank you Sue and Have a nice day.

    KEEP SAFE.

  18. Good Morning Sue. Absolutely beautiful. Stunning sample ... I love anything with the African/Safari theme. Just such a shame all these beautiful animals are dwindling down in numbers in real life. But here we can have as many as we want ... I just wish you could spread your magic in the real world ... as you do in parycraft world ... Wouldn't that be great . Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.

    PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏
