Giraffe Birthday Card

Created this Giraffe Birthday Card for a young person. Stamped the Giraffe twice. Stamped Girafee once on cream cardstock & once on brown cardstock. Paper pieced/cut out the brown spots & placed them on the cream cardstock Giraffe. Used a Crayola marker to color the tail & back hooves black. Stamped grass on green felt. Paper pieced/felt pieces/cut out the grass. 

Stamp pieced the sentiment by using 2 sentiments to make one.

have a roaring good birthday

i'm wild about you

Added a ribbon.
