Kat Scrappiness Essential Card Builders 3 and Lola the Giraffe

Hello!

I am back again today with another project using several products from Kat Scrappiness.

I started by die cutting the frame using the Kat Scrappiness Kat's Essential Card Builder dies 3 set and my Sizzix Big Shot and magic mat. I cut the frame from 110 lb Neenah white cardstock.

I then inked up the negative pieces using blending brushes and Distress Inks. I used Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, Mowed Lawn, and Salty Ocean.

I then stamped the giraffe from the Kat Scrappiness Lola the Giraffe stamp set onto a scrap of white cardstock using an acrylic block and Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. When the inked panels were dry, I stamped butterflies onto the pink and green rectangles and then stamped the "happy birthday" sentiment from the Kat Scrappiness Birthday Quokka stamp set.

After the black ink was dry, I colored the giraffe using Prismacolor colored pencils. Specific colors are below:

• Spots/horns: Dark Umber

• Body: Burnt Ochre, Goldenrod, and Jasmine

• Hooves: Black, 90% Cool Grey, and 70% Cool Grey

• Ears/nose: Goldenrod, Jasmine, and Cream

I then fussy cut around the giraffe with my scissors.

I glued the frame to a black A2 card base using Art Glitter Glue. I then fit the inked panels back into the frame and glued the giraffe in the bottom right.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed the card and are inspired to create.

Happy crafting!
