Hello bloggers! I started today's card by coating a piece of white card with
Aqua Lagoon and Golden Mint Pixie Powders and spritzing it with water. Once dry, I embossed it with the
Moroccan Tiles embossing folder for texture. I inked the edges with
Black Soot Distress ink to frame it. Next I stamped the
Rhino stamp and cut it out with the matching
Rhino die. I used
Distress Markers (weathered wood, antique linen and evergreen bough) to colour it. I cut the Rhino die again in black and used it as an offset shadow then added a
white vellum backing to it. I added it to the centre of the background using mounting foam. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue. The quilted background is beautiful. The frame looks ornate but it's the first time I've felt our rhino looks a little sad, is this utterly ridiculous?! Could it be the realistic colouring and shading that gives all your safari animals their various expressions? You seem to make them look sassy or cheeky or naughty lol but I definitely see a smidgen of sadness in this guys face,maybe he knows there are fewer of these stunning animals with each day, but I love your design Sue as much as the floral samples you give us. Stay safe be happy xxx
Good Morning Sue and all.
Another great card to start the day. I love the background colours you have used and the Rhino looks like he's posing for the camera.
You have so many talents Sue and you are an inspiration every day.
Hugs.

Hi Sue, a great card and I agree with Steph that today your rhino looks a little sad. Maybe he is jealous of the lovely background and wishing he had colours like that :-)

The background you created for this card is gorgeous and is perfect for the rhino die cut. You created a perfect combination with the background, die cut and frame.

Hi Sue. WOW !!! What a fantastic
card !!! Your Rhino is beautiful. I absolutely love the background you have created. The colours are perfect. Thank you for sharing your fantastic card today.
Your Safari Collection is one of my most favourite of your collections. I have just finished making two Giraffe cards for mine and Steve's Dads for Fathers Day. I am collecting them all, one by one. I think the Giraffe is definitely my favourite one though. I just love his little face !!!
Lots of love to you Sue from Tres x x x

Another wonderful card, so inspiring! Love your design, thanks for sharing the process!
This is so pretty! I love the colors that you used.
I would never have thought of using a pixie powder background with the rhino but it works beautifully.
What a beautiful background! It is perfect for the Rhino.
Hugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.
