WWC218 - Marsha's "All About Occasions" Challenge

 
Thanks for stopping by! This week is Watercooler Wednesday's All About Occasions Challenge.  Marsha is our host.  Head over to the website for further details.

 I started with Lawn Fawn's Perfectly Plaid paper and used a 2 1/2" circle punch near the top of the panel. Then I distressed the edges and around the circle with Seedless Grape Preserves dye ink. 

Next, I stamped Impression Obsession Baby Giraffe, colored with Copic markers and then fussy cut.  I arranged him peeping out of the circle window at a jaunty angle.  I added some flowers from Sunny Studio Tropical Paradise and embossed the birthday sentiment.  I wanted a  bit of dimension so attached the Perfectly Plaid layer to a lavender card base with craft foam and glue.  I added sequins, Wink of Stella on the blooms and horns, and Tonic Nuvo Glaze on the eyes.   I think the giraffe has a lot of personality and I love using this stamp.

I am entering this card in Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge
