This is for the first challenge of 2011 on the Stamp 2 Spend Challenge thread. Find a card in a crafting magazine, and CASE it. My inspiration came from a 2007 'Just Cards' magazine. The giraffe stamp in from Rubber Stampede, one I had never inked up before and I've had it for at least 7 years. It's foam mounted and I had a hard time getting it to stamp without getting versamark on the paper outside the actual stamp. I ended up cutting closely around the image part of the foam. The stamp looks pretty ragged now, but it will stamp cleaner.
All the paper except for the craft cardstock of the card itself is from my 'bits and pieces' container. The dimensional compass sticker is from my sticker bin, which I hardly ever access anymore. I've let lots of kids play with stickers from the bin. The letters were on a sheet of letters from my stash. The raffia is from my ribbon bin. And the strip of gold above the image panel is from the bottom of a chocolates box!
