Here for You Always

Put on your sunglasses!!! This card really turned out BRIGHT today! I tried to tone it down a little by sponging the edges but I don't think it did much!

The new technique challenge on Split Coast was to create a border by cutting out part of your patterned paper. I started with this circle pattern paper by Basic Grey and randomly cut along the circles. I used these cute giraffes from the H&M Stamp set called A Generation of Stitches (retired) and also stamped the background with a button stamp from the same set. The giraffes are up on foam dimensionals and the head of the larger giraffe is popped up again.

The sentiment is from another H&M Set called A Time of Caring (retired). I think this card would be great to send to a friend that was needing some encouragement or from a mother to her child just to let them know they are never alone.

The Raspberry Fizz and Ripe Avocado card stocks are from Papertrey Ink as well as the pretty dotted satin ribon.
