woo hoo - I finally made it to the teaparty. This week we are heading to Oregon City, Oregon to visit Alex and put smiles on her face. We were asked to bring lots of giraffes with us. Here is Mothermark's story.
I am also putting my card into this weeks colour challenge gallery. Vanilla, cherry and gumball green. Hope my colours are close enough.
I really struggled with my making my card. Not sure if I like how it has turned out, but I don't have enough energy or mojo to change it. I had this vision of the giraffes out on the African plain with a glowing red sunset set behind them. Plus I made a foliage frame around them. I made the red dotted background, hand cut out a circle mask and then placed the mask ontop of the vanilla card stock and sponged circles onto the paper. stamped the green foliage on the vanilla cs and then tore out the center to make the frame. Hand stitched around edges.
Thanks for looking-
I have another week of keeping my broken right ankle elevated and then have to have the ankle checked and another cast put on. Then 4 to 6 weeks of recovery.
Hugs.. Pat

I think those giraffe have eaten their way through your beautiful foilage!!! Just a brilliant design and you did it feeling poorly. I feel your discomfort and hope that your recovery goes quickly for you.

Pat, what a great card, it is like looking through a window and seeing giraffes at sunset. Absolutely fantastic! Hope all goes well at your next appointment and that you have a speedy recovery.
