This is a case of the Featured Stamper this week, Shannan Steubner. Her gallery has such a wealth of inspiration! I chose this Wordy Birdy card. I kept the same basic color scheme and theme, but did use a different stamp set and sketch.
This card is for my son, Kyle, who turns 22 tomorrow. He has always loved animals, so I hope he'll like this.
I love the fru-fru ribbon that Shannan used, but I needed a masculine card. I wanted to use a similar idea, so I swiped some raffia over my Chocolate Chip ink pad. It adds a little something, I think.
TFL!
