I used Spellbinders™ Labels Eighteen Nestabilities™(largest die) to cut a piece of Pure Luxury White card stock and sponged Memento Cantaloupe ink while still in the die template.
I sponged a bit of Memento Tangelo ink around the edges at the top.
I removed the mask, then sponged Memento Bamboo Leaves from the bottom.
Stamped the tree using Stazon Jet Black ink. I used some sticky notes to mask around the edge to keep the ink off the narrow white band. I could have left it in the die template, but the thinness of the sticky notes makes for a cleaner impression when stamping off the edge.
Next I stamped the giraffes, again with Stazon and using sticky notes to mask the edge.
I decided I wanted the foreground to be darker, so I put the card stock back in the die template and sponged some Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
Then stamped the small grass several times with Stazon Jet Black.
I cut two branches, using Spellbinders™ Foliage Shapeabilities®, then sponged some Memento Bamboo Leaves to stencil.
For my card base, I used Pure Luxury Kraft (5 ½ by 4 ¼ inches). I used my Scor-Buddy to add some decorative score lines to the bottom and left side. The sentiment is stamped on Pure Luxury white and free hand cut out. I used Scrapbook Adhesives Foam Squares to pop up the layers.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a wonderful day!
