It's all about the cute today. I have had the set Mindy's Zoo from Autumn Leaves for years 9since I picked up at Target on clearance) and I'm reluctance to use it because it looks so childlike. I just decided to embrace that look for this card.
The giraffes are stamped in Colorbox Chalk Chestnut Roan and colroed with pencils. The little balloon is a random unidentified stamp I own, the with string drawn in and collected to the little guy's paw. The distressed rrame is made of craft card stock I roughed up with a scissors's edge and pulled the layers of paper apart. It's a birthday card (see the balloon) but I didn't have a birthday greeting small enough for the tiny tag, so it goes inside.
The layout is the current sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

This is so sweet Sandy. I love the giraffes and your design is fabulous. Thanks for joining us at Jade's Sparkling Butterflies. Cathy DT x
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of those really childlike drawings as stamps (or I used to... not so sure now that I ponder it). But YES! That was the problem with them is it seemed perhaps a bit too kiddie like. I think it is cute though and this is perfect for a birthday (embrace your inner child and all).
