Again, I didn't want to change a thing! But I did change the stamp set, mixed up the colors and opted out of using a sentiment.
I used a card base of Soft Suede, topped that with an unknown dp under Tangerine Tango sponged with Creamy Caramel. Over this I stamped with Sanded in Soft Suede. The image panel is Crushed Curry, also stamped in Soft Suede. The green strip under the giraffe twill tape is a heavily textured Provocraft cardstock.
The buttons are wood accented with embroidery floss (got a little nudge to start using floss after seeing Brat's card!). I sewed one panel and paper pierced a corner of the top panel. Kept the brads.
How much fun to play in Joanne's gallery today. Thanks for letting us CASE you, Joanne!
Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Awe, I love the way you used the colors in the bkgnd rather than in the stamping! Reminds me of the very lovely dresses the Nigerian parishioners wore to Mass yesterday! TFS!

Love your stitching and your colors on this are so pretty. Great matching. That's my number one problem when making a card. Maybe I should just call you. lol
