This card is for today's Inspiration Challenge and my anniversary. The plants, picture and especially pillow in this room reminded me of the Tropical dies that coordinate with the new SU Tropical Chic set:
I thought I would pair the giraffe from the new Animal Outings set with those die cuts to create a tunnel Card for my anniversary. I was introduced to the tunnel Card design by my stamping buddy when I did this card for my son's birthday:
In my mind the leafy square from the dies had space in the center and I was going to stamp my greeting there. When I took it out, I realized that there was no opening in the center, so I had to figure out a way to get my greeting on it. I stamped the greeting onto a piece of Granny Apple Green CS and the die cut the leafy square. I stamped the greeting a second time onto White CS and lined the white and green images up.
I stamped the giraffe and frog on the branch and colored them in and cut them out. I die cut more greenery and used some of the coordinating Tropical Escape DSP to complete my card front. You can see my card inside here:

OOh that inside is going to be such a surprise to open from this ( I would have expected to see it look more thicker I guess so, that is cool that it folds flat? too right.
