Your'e Amazing

 Hello there my crafty friends!  I thought I would share another sample from the Safari Collection that uses one of the new stencils from the range too!  I started by taping the new Tropical Leaves stencil to a piece of milk card.  I inked through the stencil with Forest Moss Distress Oxide ink and Crushed Olive ink.  I removed the mask and heat set it to dry.  Next I stamped the Giraffe twice and cut them out with the matching die.  I coloured one of the dies entirely with Distress Markers.  I coloured just the frame on the other one.   I added a background to the die cut by hand cutting the shape.  I nipped the frame away from the second die cut and used mounting foam to raise it and attach it over the other die cut.  I added it to the middle of the stencilled background.  I stamped the Safari Tag design from the clear stamp set called Wild About You and added the sentiment to the centre.  I cut it out with the matching die.  It was coloured with a bit of Rusty Hinge around the outside, then mounted in the corner.  The card was completed with milk mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hiya Sue. Apart from starting a new week with a beautiful sample, I had to smile at the wonderful cheeky and dare I say almost seductive expression on that face lol it should be the centre of a caption competition because this gorgeous face certainly has some expression that I never even noticed at launch, I'm loving everything about today's inspiration. Whatever everyone is upto today I hope it's a good one as long as you stay safe xxx

Good Morning Sue. Brilliant sample today Sue. I love it. Your Giraffe is absolutely adorable ... A beautiful elegant animal. I think you should be awarded for creating these Safari dies to our craft world Sue. Because if we are not careful these dies will be all that we have left to look back on ... The real thing will have disappeared.Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today

PLEASE STAY EXTRA SAFE EVERYONE 🙏 🙏 🙏

Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds

Hi Sue Fabulous card the giraffe certainly does have character I love the stencil too

Fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, a brilliant card, I love it. Others think your giraffe is masculine but from first sight I thought of it as feminine. I think she is flirting with us and saying resist buying me if you can :-)
