A GIRAFFE ON A POGO STICK
I said that you’d see what I mean about this! I chose the uber-cute MFT Jumping Giraffe stamp set for my card!
How cute is this?! I’d love to have a pogo-stick hopping giraffe show up at my birthday party!
CARD DETAILS
For the ‘polka dots’, I used my MFT Confetti Stencil Set. This set has 2 stencil sheets, that you can use together or separately. I used both; you can see that they overlap in some spots (pun not intended), making it more fun.
For the background panel, lay the first stencil over a piece of white cardstock. Use a blending brush or tool to apply Salty Ocean Distress Ink through the stencil. Now remove the 1st stencil, and lay the 2nd stencil over the panel. Blend Mustard Seed through this stencil. Put this piece aside for now.
On a smaller piece of white cardstock, stamp the giraffe in Nocturne ink, cover with clear embossing powder, and heat set. Use your favourite markers to colour in the giraffe. Now, stamp another giraffe onto copy paper, and cut out with scissors. This will be your mask for the giraffe. Place the mask over the giraffe image, and then place one of the stencils on top. Apply Mustard Seed ink over top. Now, die cut the giraffe image with an oval die, and another one in a dark blue cardstock, slightly larger. Layer them together, using foam tape or squares. Stamp the sentiment in Nocturne ink, and repeat the heat embossing with clear powder.
Layer all of your pieces together, adding a bright yellow layer behind the polka dot layer, and a blue card base.
This card will make anyone smile!
