I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest for this creation, however I changed it up a little. Unfortunately the link wasn't working, so I can't give credit.
I stamped the main card front on Whisper White cardstock. I used Memento Black Ink, and then coloured with various Blends. For the giraffe I used both light and dark Daffodil Delight Blends, and both dark and light Crumb cake. For the leaves I used both dark and light Old Olive, and for the frog I used light Daffodil Delight then layered light Old Olive over it.
The sentiment is stamped onto Crushed Curry, framed with Soft Suede Card Stock. I used the very corner of the Every Day Label Punch to punch the corners.
This picture is a little wrong - let me explain. The first time I did this, I cut the corners of the Crushed Curry cardstock, then separately cut the Soft Suede cardstock. When I went to layer the two together, I found that the angles of the cutouts didn't match.
My solution was to adhere the Crushed Curry (with the corners already punched out) onto the Soft Suede, then I could judge the angles better to cut out the corners. My Soft Suede was only 3mm wider and longer than the Crushed Curry, as I wanted to have the layer quite close.
Once the sentiment was adhered to the card, I stamped the corner decoration from the set Around the Corner - this is another set I received free during OnStage!
