So this is my card I am sharing with you today.

I have been hoarding this On Safari die set from Penny Black for a long time. I love them and have been thinking long and hard how to use them creatively. Although I have a few ideas in my mind, I thought the giraffe and elephant on this background would be perfect. So I die cut them out and sponged them with Ripe Persimmon distress ink. I adhered them on to the background panel next to each other like special friends. Thus the sentiment on the card from Mimi’s Love stamp set also from Penny Black. I added jute twine with a bow to bring in some texture to the card and also tie in with the kraft card base.

I love the inking of the background scene and how everything came together. I enjoyed making this card. Hope you like it. Here are all the three Penny Black products, I used to make my card. They are all available at Penny Black store.
I have recently discovered your blog and love your art! Thank you for sharing your talent. I have enjoyed your Christmas cards – I, too, am ready to move into Valentines and spring cards.
