Wild About You

Hello!  I came up with this card for some current challenges including Gina K Design Monthly Mix Challenge to focus on repeating a sentiment on your card and also Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge.  I used stamps from GKD Wild About You set that I had never used since I got it about a month ago.  I started out by stamping the sentiment 4 times on a ivory card stock panel with Distress Oxide Ink Walnut Stain. But then decided I wanted to add an image of a giraffe from the same set.  I did that by stamping the image on clear vellum with Memento Peanut Brittle ink and then heat embossed with clear EP.  I liked the way the giraffe looked on the vellum when I overlaid over my sentiment panel and attached it using Scotch Vellum Tape and wrapping the edges of the vellum around the panel.  I assembled the card following the sketch shown below using GKD Chocolate Brown CS and Patterned Paper from DCWV Safari Chic Matstack.  I die cut some of the wild animals from one of the patterned papers to use on the corners of the card.  I plan to give this card to my DH for our anniversary this month because I am wild about him.
