Welcome, this cold day in Georgia!  I know our cold is nothing compared to the folks in the Midwest.  You are really having cold, freezing,  and potentially life-threatening weather.  I hope everyone has a warm spot.  I think of the homeless and know some are out in this freezing weather.  Everyone have a safe and warm day.  Stay inside and make cards.

My inspiration and design today comes from the Global Design Project.  Check it out!

The card base is Balmy Blue card stock embossed with the Subtle TIEF.

The Animal Expedition DSP which is matted using a panel of Shaded Spruce card stock is used for the wide banner across the card.  A length of Linen Thread is wrapped around the banner 3 times and two leaves from the Butterfly Elements (free during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 purchase).  One of the leaves is colored using a Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Write Marker.  The banner is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.

The focal piece is cut from a panel of the Animal Expedition DSP using the Layering Oval Framelits Dies and matted on Shaded Spruce card stock using a larger die to cut it.  Get Well from the Well Said stamp set is stamped so it looks as if the giraffe is saying it.  It is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.  This is popped over the banner using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  A few sequins are scattered around the card front to give a little bling.  That does it for the card front.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a panel of Whisper White that has a border cut from the Animal Expedition DSP.  Shaded Spruce card stock is used as a mat.

Thank you for stopping by today! My wish for you is to find inspiration and encouragement for your own creations.  Have a blessed day!
