It's Saturday! That means a new challenge from Less is More which is a one layer week and the theme is something with legs.
My first thought was a spider!! However when I told my husband the theme of the challenge his first thought was a giraffe. So I went with the giraffe from Fox and Friends. Much nicer than a spider! Having thought of a giraffe I asked him what sentiment he would put with it and bless him he came up with a few. This is one of them. Once I had that I came up with this idea.
The card base is 6" by 6" in Whisper White card stock. I printed the sentiment in blue using Curlz font. I then masked the sentiment with a circle and sponged the edges with Pear Pizzazz. I stamped the giraffe repeatedly around the circle in So Saffron and then using a scallop mask sponged Bashful Blue around their heads to create clouds.
I'm a bit mmmm about this one. I like the idea and kinda like the result and it is growing on me but it's so far out of my comfort zone!
Hope you've had a great Saturday, We had some sun but some really heavy showers too. Thanks for joining me. x
