today's challenge on 365 Cards (yes, that site seems to be a favorite of mine, wouldn't you say?) is to make a birthday card for a boy - not a man. i borrowed a couple of animal stamps from my friend rieca while she's away on vacation with her family, and this was the perfect time to get them out and play!i got these fantasticly cute animal print papers months ago and sadly they went straight to my stash instead of getting used. the giraffe stamp i borrowed is so cute! i cut out the birthday greeting to look as if he's saying it. a cute touch, if you'll allow me to toot my own horn for a minute! (grin)
and now it's time to go and do some serious work. i signed up on ETSY a while back and have yet to setup my store. i want to give it a go and see how my cards and other stamped products sell. gotta bring home some bacon while i'm not working!
stuff used:
Hero Arts - recycled textured notecards
DCWV - Safari Chic Giraffe paper
Magenta - cork paper
kraft, light cocoa & chocolate cs
Tim Holtz distress ink - walnut stain
PSX - happy birthday stamp
The Artful Stamper - giraffe stamp
