You Really Stand Out

Hi friends! I hope you're having a great day! I wanted to remind you to play along with our monthly challenge at Poppystamps. This month the challenge is "Look Out The Window". We want you to add a window to your card - that could be an actual window die, or just a die cut opening that you turn into a shaker, or a frame. It could also be interpreted as a scene type card of what you see out your window - maybe a Spring Scene? My card today is a scene that I'd love to see out my window.

Crafting is my sweet escape. I love that I can go and see anything I want anywhere in the world without ever leaving my craft space. It's a place of my imagination where it's all possibilities without limit.

My safari scene was made with the Whittle Racing Giraffe kit. If you haven't seen the "kit" options at Poppystamps, they're worth a closer look. The kit includes several dies to make a scene card as well as a mini stamp set with appropriate sentiments. This kit contains 5 different giraffes, a tree, clouds and a race car!

It was easy to add the spots to the giraffes with markers. The die embosses the giraffes with a pattern so you can see exactly where the spots should be. I cut three tree tops and stacked them so that my tree looks much fuller, I added some Layered Pointy Petal flowers to complete the scene.

I couldn't resist adding some silly eyes to help bring the giraffes to life. Their necks are so long they look like their heads are in the clouds! The background is a simple Distress Ink blend.

I hope you'll join us at the challenge. It's easy to play along - you can link your photo from Instagram, your blog or another on line gallery like Flickr. We select two winners every month - one design is our favorite, and the other is randomly selected to win a $20 gift card to the shop. You get the whole month to join us and I think you'll be inspired by the designs from the team and other players!
