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. Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another gorgeous sample today, the Giraffe is such a handsome and gentle creature, who holds their heads up high - excuse the pun - you have shown to perfection how this an be displayed using the frame and other features, the sentiment at the bottom is the icing on the cake, love it.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

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.

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 🙏 🙏 🙏

Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
