Adventure is Worthwhile

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  Today's make and share features a stamped pair of Giraffes, a Watercolor Sunset, heat embossing and die cutting.  

I was gifted this stamp set along with designer papers and chipboard embellishments from a dear friend in Northamptonshire UK.  She received the lot as a free gift with purchase of a cardmaking magazine and stated it wasn't her cuppa tea.  She was so lovely to send it all to me so I had to make her a card with the gift.

I die cut an aperture in the designer paper and stamped the images to appear as though they were peeking out of the foliage.  I watercolored a sunset background using Arteza Real Brush Markers, stamped and heat embossed a black piece of card using gold powder and put it all together with a sentiment strip from the Tim Holtz "Small Talk" strips pack. 

I'm rather pleased with the outcome and I hope she likes it as well.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
