Congratulations to Marion on being our Featured Stamper this week! I chose (don't be surprised ha!) this cute giraffe card of Marion's. Since it was a sketch card, I used some other things in her card to inspire me, and changed the sketch (I used Deconstructed Sketch 126).
I changed images and colors, but kept the giraffe as the focal point. I kept the stripes in her background by using a striped ribbon, and changed her brads to polka dotted designer paper. in place of her vellum sentiment, I have a button and grass.
My images are from Lawn Fawn's Critters on the Savanna stamp set and matching dies. I stamped on Ultrasmooth White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored in with Spectrum Noir markers. I did the same for the sentiment, and then cut it out using Avery Elle's Oh Yeah caption balloon die. The grass is a Magnolia die cut. My button (Buttons Galore) is tied with Aqua Blue Divine Twine. My fun designer paper is from Echo Park's Bundle of Joy Boy 6x6.
Enjoy your week, Marion, and thanks for looking!

This is so darling and really pops nicely with the orange and blue!! I have really been enjoying the giraffes I have seen lately. I love the little die with the sentiment on it. So cute!!
