Stamping Sensations July Mid Month Reminder

Our challenge theme at Stamping Sensations this month is 'ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL'  so there's lots of options for you to choose from and provided you follow our rules and make stamping the focal point of your entry, you could be in with a chance of winning a great prize from our wonderful sponsor, CRAFTY INDIVIDUALS.

My panel background was created using an embossing folder and distress inks, then stamped with some foliage before matting onto a piece of dark brown card.

I coloured the giraffe and fussy cut and popped him on top of a small tag.

The sentiment was done using a set of alphabet letters stamps inked in Brushed Corduroy and part of a PB sentiment stamp!

Why don't you get out your creature stamps and join us in the gallery - we'd love to see you!

Happy weekend everybody!

Brilliant card Viv! I have just come from Joan's blog where I saw you had been to Arley Hall - we were wondering what it would be like - your report has made me think it should go on the list! We found Tatton Park garden very good, also Biddulph Grange and some good woodland walking at Lyme Park. Styall Mill is great on a fine day but very slow going in the rain! Dunham Massey garden was very crowded last week but is mostly one way! Hope this is useful! Hugs, Chrisx

This is a layered delight, Viv! That e/f with your blending looks just like animal skin and I love the way you have stamped the grass, tree, and closeup leaves over it, lining up the grass on the wee beribboned tag and topping it off with the cutest little giraffe baby! It's like describing a crafty card cake!! (Am I hungry AGAIN?!) Great job going wild with the letters, too! Keep well! Hugs, DD

This card blew me away. The panel is truly awesome. The blended colors are beautiful and the foliage looks so authentic. Love that sweet giraffe.

Pat said...

I love the cute giraffe on the tag over the prettily coloured dry embossed background Viv with great added tree and foliage to create an interesting scene, and the large stamped word as part of the sentiment finishes it perfectly. x
