I made this card yesterday and it seemed to fit the challenge, so here's my entry. I love this giraffe from Just So Hippy, from Gina K Designs. Very cute set!
Thanks for looking!

Stamps: Just So Hippy, Wild About You (inside sentiment), So Many Sayings, Petite Patterns
Paper: Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip
Ink: Brown Staz-On, Real Red, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Antique Brads, Scallop Punch, Circle Punch (SU), Word Window punch, Ticket Corner Punch, Heart Border Punch (Fiskars)
Techniques: I adhered Real Red ribbon on the inside of the card to show through the punched-out hearts on the border. I sponged Chocolate Chip next to that, along the outer edge. I sponged the Creamy Caramel around the giraffe for an antique look.

I love the texture and vintage feel, it's very different from other cards I've seen with the giraffe, TFS!
