Happy Birthday To A Kindred Spirit

Hello there my crafty friends!  I started by embossing a piece of milk card with the Pebble Rush embossing folder.  I stamped the sentiment on another piece of milk card, then gluing it to the embossed background.  I cut four of the Tina die out of rust card then glued them onto a square of milk card, overlapping at the corners.  I added the square to the backgrond with mounting foam.  I stamped the Giraffe stamp and cut it out with the matching Giraffe die.  I coloured it with Distress Markers.  I inked a backing card for it using Spun Sugar, Squeezed Lemonade and Tumbled Glass.  I added the giraffe panel in the middle of the milk card square.  The card was completed with milk card mats and layers.   The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8 " in size.  All for now, Sue x

Good Morning Sue. Ohhh how I love these safari animals Sue. And what I really love is how you use the same animal die ... But create an entirely different card each time. Be it a background ... an embossed piece ... or a beautiful frame. That is clever ... And that's why you are the number one designer. Fabulous animal and a truly amazing card. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏
Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
