The reason for the strange title, the DH says the stenciling looks like a giraffe. I say it's more like a cracked egg. What does he know...
I had stamped a bunch of leaves earlier for the CAS plaid challenge, so I decided to do another card. It's nice to get Thanksgiving cards made early.
The embroidery just adds a little more interest and counters the gold embossed leaves.
TFL!

This is gorgeous! Your beautiful embroidery is perfect to offset the circle shape of those pretty leaves. I love your spots (no matter what they are) they are just the right balance!

This is absolutely stunning! I am quite taken with the spirelli you did in the lower corner. Everything is balanced and done to perfection. This is going right into my favs! ~Karen.

It must be the week for hubbies not seeing things. I absoutely love this cracked edges, but mostly the amazing string art corner. I love the string art it's breathtaking.

WOW...that embroidery is such a stunning addition...just elevates the whole level of the card to over-the-top! Love your unique mat layer with the circle cut-out in the corner and those lovely embossed plaid leaves. GREAT card!
