Today Stacy gave us a site called Schreiner's Gardens...they specialize in iris and daylily flowers. Never knew there were repeat blooming iris or fragrant ones. It would be a delight to visit this garden. Wanted to make a card for my friend, Evelyn who is turning 91 this week. She loves flowers, but giraffes are her favorite animal. Looking through the pics found this daylily that reminded me of the colors.
Colored the image using copics, and added the stenciled bf with the TH distress inks. Computered generated the Happy Birthday, and hand penned her name. Scored lines and adhered to a black card. TFL

Linda, I love this giraffe to pieces...couldn't be any cuter. He looks just perfect out in your stenciled leaves. Your friend is sure to have a smile all over her face upon receiving this card. I'm sure she will love it as much as I love it.
