Animal Stories' Tall Tales

Hi Stampers,

Here's a card I made using the sketch challenge this week (SC237) on Splitcoaststampers found here.  All supplies are © Stampin' Up!® 

I am using the stamp set called Animal Stories and the Designer Series Paper - Tall Tales.  When I saw this sketch, I knew I wanted to use the giraffe from this stamp set.  The card stock I've used includes Old Olive Textured card stock, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White.  All elements are layered on Chocolate Chip card stock.  For the focal image I stamped the giraffe using So Saffron Classic Ink on Whisper White card stock.  I re-inked and stamped again on a scrap of Whisper White and trimmed out the giraffe.  I layered the trimmed giraffe onto the focal image with Stampin' Dimensionals, offsetting a bit.  Rose Red and Old Olive brads were added in opposite corners.  This was also attached to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. The greeting and inside sentiment are from the set On Your Birthday.  They are stamped in Chocolate Chip classic ink. 

On the inside I used a strip of the floral Designer Paper and trimmed around the tops of the flowers.  I stamped the top portion of the giraffe in So Saffron classic ink and trimmed it, inserting it behind the flowers.  This will be my little niece's birthday card. 

I"m so pleased with the results.  Please leave a comment if you like it too.
