This week it is Anything Goes over at The House that Stamps Built so the field is wide open as far as creating.
I have had this image for a bit and have been wanting to use it - you see I kind of like giraffes, and this one is no exception 5301M Giraffe and frame stamped in Memento Cocoa brown ink and cut out around the frame. For my sentiment I used 5806H Happiness is. I had some old world map pper in my stash so I used that for my background - then this luscious brown leather look (and feel) strip down the middle I have had well almost forever. I bought a pack of asst. papers at a small stamp store in Washington, MO. many years ago and have used bits and pieces of it when I think about it. It worked perfect for this image. Some chocolate pearls and I think the card is complete.
Now it is your turn to make a card using the challenge of anything goes - and as you can see there are a lot of possibilities for this challenge. You have a full month to enter our challenge to win. You do not have to use Repeat Impressions stamps but if you do you will be entered twice for the drawing of a $25 gift certificate to Repeat Impressions.
If you look on my right side bar I also have a discounted coupon for you to use when you go shopping at Repeat Impressions.
Now why not take a look at our DT Rock Stars for inspiration and to get you started.

Fantastic card Shirley, like the monochromatic colors on this and your paper choice, great saying too!
I kind of like giraffes, too! They can be cute or majestic or even sweet. A very versatile animal. Your card is wonderful. I love the giraffe image.
I love giraffes, too, Shirley, and I think your design is so fabulous with that background! Did you watch the live cam of the giraffe birth that happened, um, about a year ago? Her name was April, if I remember right, and it was so cool! Hugs, Darnell
This is a fabulous way to use the giraffe stamp, Shirley!!! I love your sketch and yes, that bg paper is perfect.
Fabulous card! The papers are perfect!!
Fun card Shirley. Love the background designer paper. I agree with Darnell - kind of reminds me of April and the birth of the baby.
Love it! Great card, and the papers you used are perfect!!!
