A big congrats to Becky, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a fun, colorful gallery & it was hard to pick, but I kept coming back to THIS card. I even started out to use a horse silhouette, but mine was a bit too small so I changed it to a baby giraffe & then changed the stars to buttons. I also changed it to a baby card & added some die cut lace & piercing.
My card is pretty simpleÂ…mostly die cuts. The baby giraffe was stamped on kraft & I added just a bit of shading w/ a white Prismacolor pencil. The inside edge of the circle die was traced w/ a black Sharpie then I used the same die to cut it, added some piercing & a white scallop circle die cut behind it. The large kraft panel was die cut across the bottom w/ a scallop die then more piercing all around. The white crochet lace was also die cut & added beneath it. I used a border piercing die to just emboss the front of the white card. Some kraft & white buttons were die cut, twine tied through them & added in the scallops.
Congrats again, Becky! Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

What a sweet card with that baby giraffe! The buttons remind me of conchos! Wonderful case in the kraft and white!

Simple? I don't think so. Your layouts are always carefully thought out and designed and this one is no exception! What a fine hand you must have to edge the circle in a sharpie! Love the buttons you added to this and the shading with white pencil. What a darling card!
