January 23, 2019 Anything Goes



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.

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

Fun card Shirley. Love the background designer paper. I agree with Darnell - kind of reminds me of April and the birth of the baby.
