I received this new Crafty Individuals stamp just before Christmas and this is the first time it has been inked. I usually don't try working with collage stamps - but the way these series of stamps turned out - I think I might give some more a try - learn something new every day with this craft. The precious stamps are from my stash - collected over many, many years.

This is another very lovely card!! I like all of your safari cards. I was just mentioning to my husband how I find it so unbelievable that you are having summer right now and we are having winter. I guess it's pretty obvious to some, but I just think it's kind of neat.

Gorgeous card with that beautiful giraffe collage stamp.....and those extraordinary postage stamps. The orange color gives such a feeling of warmth in keeping with your African theme.

I love everything about this card. The gelli plate stamping bg is amazing and I loved the giraffe stamp. I can't believe you used real stamps on your card. This card will have to go to a special person indeed. The jute twine is a perfect addition here.

This is So Beautiful! Your bg really gives the feel of being on a sunny safari watching all the animals in their habitats! I love your collage, reminding me of a postcard~ Well done!
