Card Captain day 3: Giraffe

Welcome to day 3 of me being the card captain for the

Enjoy Michael Strong stamps group.

I keep to wild animals and her is Mike's

Cloisonné Giraffe stamp.

The sentiment is a digital stamp printed with

the computer and is from the Create with TLC Blog.

And now I show you how  the card is made.

I started with folding a piece of kraft cardstock and

embossed the front side with this sizzix embossing folder.

Next I stamped the giraffe on a piece of white paper

and just the head on a strip of lighter kraft paper

with walnut stain distress oxide ink.

With peeled paint distress oxide ink I stamped the

acacia leave that belongs to this stampset.

With fossilized amber distress oxide  ink on 

the craft sheet and a waterbrush (and a few drops

of water) I colored all the giraffes.

Now the giraffe and the leaves are cut out and

everything is coming together on the card.

Inside the card there is also a leave and I will ad one

to the enveloppe as well.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
