Hi everyone, it's my turn to host the challenge at Watercooler Wednesday and it's all about occasions! Birthdays, celebrations, anniversaries, or in my case, a baby card!
The design team have some wonderful inspiration for you, so I hope you can play along.
I love giraffes and a few years ago saw this card by Lisa Addesa. I need a special card to welcome a little boy, so am casing her card again.
The giraffe die is embossed using a rubber mat, then fussy cut to give a base layer upon which the diecut pieces are paper pieced. Lisa's instructions are fabulous for creating the giraffe!
I've used a piece of gingham dp as a background and a burlap impression plate from Papertrey Ink to emboss the top layer. This is laid onto a layer of fun foam to add some dimension.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Supplies:
Simon Says Stamp picture book giraffe die; Mpress heart die; Papertrey Ink burlap impression plate; Imaginisce little bundle of joy stamp; versafine ink & clear ep; scrap of ginham patterned paper; fun foam.
Thanks for visiting,
