Hello crafters! I know that the Feb. die release was short and sweet, but I hoped you enjoyed it! I wanted to share this card with you as it was one of my personal favourites, but it also shows how you can use the animals without their frames to make a lovely card. I started with a pixie powder background that used
Burnt Orange and Sun Yellow Pixies. I covered it with cling film and scrunched it and left it to dry. Once dry, I used the piece for the background. I stamped and cut out the
Lion, Giraffe and Zebra dies. I trimmed all of them out of their frames and then coloured each one. They are really easy to colour as the shading on the stamps makes it really easy! I used the small and large trees from the
African Adventure die set from a few years ago. I cut the out of black card to look like silhouettes and glued them to the background. I added the three animals with mounting foam to the centre of the card. I cut the Happy Birthday and Wild Thing sentiments in black and glued them to opposite corners. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 9" in size. All for now. Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, WOW, what a fantastic card, I can see why this is your favourite, it is truly amazing, in the close ups you can see the detail in your colouring even down to a little bit of blue lines on the Zebra's neck, the colours you have used are amazing really, they are. I do have those African Trees in my stash.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
This card is stunning. I do love the sunset backgrounds they offset the animals beautifully
Have a lovely day

Hi Sue.
Regardless as to whether any new dies 'are for me' I always enjoy each day to see what you've been working on and the outcome. Your daily inspiration is a must to start my day even if it's not a launch day you'll find my name somewhere, so its been an interesting few days, and as I keep saying at the moment I'm only doing orders but when the world feels better and my world starts working again i know exactly what i need but window shopping is equally lovely as long as its craft. Have a good day wherever you're commenting from and please STAY SAFE xxx
I just love this! Beautiful animals and I love the background trees! Wonderful creation!
Hi Sue

Hello there Sue.
What a fantastic card. I have the older set of Dies and and cards I made from them were appreciated by 4 of my Grandsons who were born in South Africa and other family members who visited. I love the colouring you have done and the background is a dream.
Thank you Sue.

Good morning Sue,
A truly striking card today with your beautiful stamps which definitely give so much detail & love how your older dies work beautifully with them too. The pixie powders background goes well with your beautiful creation. Yvonne xx
I absolutely love this card, using many of the the new collection along with older collections is great for inspiration. I may just have to work on this idea as my son and daughter in law are building a summer house and the theme is safari, so this collection will go a long way in making them some art work for one of their walls. Thank you Sue for your inspiration. DebbieLeighxxx
Good morning Sue this is a stunning card. All the elements work so well together. Have a good day. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Hi Sue,

Stunning card. Would make a lovely framed picture. X
Hi Sue
Gorgeous card. I can see why it is a favourite. Love the colours you have used too, like an African sunset. Yes the launch was short, but certainly sweet.
Love Helen xxx
Absolutely love this one, definitely one I will replicate when my dies arrive, as I have the previous African animals dies and stamps too, which can be incorporated, thank you Sue for such a wonderful launch...luv Ursula xx
Love this card and i have the dies from your previous safari collection and I knew they'd look lovely together! Looking forward to seeing some other designs from your creative mind! Love to all, Sarah
Wow you have saved the best for last, it's magnificent.

Hi Sue and everyone wow what a stunning card. I did look at all the posts and wanted to comment on all how wonderful your cards are, but I had to restrain myself and only comment on the ones I knew I would use. The launch was short but amazing and although I love all the dies I only make for family and friends. I wish I could afford everything you bring out Sue, but its just not possible. Anyway todays card is absolutely amazing and I love it hugs Donna xx
Hi Sue

Wow! I’m so impressed with this amazing card. I love that you included 3 animals on it as a sample of the animals without the frames. The background reminds me of the savanna in Africa where you’ll find these incredible animals in the wild.
