Have a Wild Birthday!

 
Happy Thursday! Wanted to share a card I put together using the adorable Wild About You set. The sentiments in this set are great and go perfectly with the images - Theresa did a great job tying it all together. Here's a photo of my card.

Another great thing about these images is that they're perfect for cutting and layering. I did just that with the giraffe to give it some dimension. Here's a close-up of what I'm talking about.

It's always fun to add something different to a card...it tells the recipient that you made it specially for them. Here's how my card came together.

1. Create a standard side-folding card out of Kraft card stock and turn it so the fold is facing up.
2. Add a 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" strip of patterned paper towards the bottom of the card front.
3. Stamp the sentiment in the upper right corner and set it aside.
4. On a piece of ivory card stock, stamp the giraffe and the grass images. Sponge the sky and grass area. Punch out three 1/4" squares out of the same patterned paper and add it to the upper left corner of the ivory piece. Set it aside.
5. Stamp the giraffe on a pice of ivory card stock, color it in, and cut it out. Adere it to the ivory piece with pop-dots. Adhere a strip of ribbon with a brad and then it to the card front. With that, you're all done!

Lovely! I didn't notice what those 3 little squares were at the top until I read your directions. What a clever idea.
