Today I have a card using another image from Deedee's Digis "Go Wild" set. I used a pre-colored giraffe image, and added some sponged clouds and grass with Copics. I embossed the background with an older Cuttlebug ef (I forget the name) on some rust-colored cardstock, and then smeared the whole panel with Versamark ink and clear embossed it afterward for a leathery look to match the giraffe. I tied a piece of rust-colored ribbon to the corner as well as the sentiment panel. As long as it's playtime, why not add a fun frog brad to finish this off?
I'm sharing this over at the Crafty Gals Corner #35 where Deedee's Digis is sponsoring their "embossing" challenge.
I wanted to give you a little reminder to come play along with us at Deedee's September progressive challenge. You can find details for playing along right here.
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day!

Oh, I just love the textured background you gave this cutie! Quick thinking with that leather look!
Hi, Carol, thanks so much for dropping by my blog and leaving a comment. Your Hula Hoop Giraffe sends me back to the '50's! What a fun card! I recognize that pebbly background; it's Tiny Mosaic, perfect for a Giraffe background.
This guy just makes me smile. Love that leather look and your froggie. Perfectly matched ribbon is a nice addition. Enjoy your day.
Fabulous matching background you made there Carol.

What another fun card! I never did master the hoola hoop myself. As for that EF, my friend calls it "Grandpa's Skin." I never met her grandpa, but maybe her grandpa was an alligator. Anyway Love the heat embossing over that folder, so cool!
Who wouldn't love an adorable kind like this! What fun!
Lovely card, Carol. Love the sweet giraffe and the embossing! Fun card layout too. Thank you for being our GDT and playing with us at Crafty Gals Corner :-)
