CARD DETAILS
I started working on my card by stamping and coloring a few images from the Wild Ones stamp set. I used Copic markers (as always, I went with my go-to colors) and did some rather quick and easy coloring. I also stamped and colored 3 balloons using the monkey image holding the balloon, I skipped the monkey for this card.
I also stamped and die-cut the word Hooray in my Platinum die cutting machine and heat embossed it in clear embossing powder over black ink.
To create a background for this card I blended Distress Picked Raspberry ink and added flicks of water. Next, I foam mounted my die cuts creating a scene.
Ever since I made a Joy Giraffe card last year I can’t resist putting something around giraffe’s neck, so I made sure to have this one wear “hooray”.
Finally, I stamped Party Animal and foam mounted that onto the card.

I love you’re coloring and I am seeing that everyone, including me, loves that adorable giraffe! He is such a cutie! When I win, I am going to get this and make him colorful! Glitter and different colors because in my world, everything is so much more colorful then it is. They say in Heaven there are colors we’ve never seen on Earth and everything is so much more colorful then here. Of course I will do a regular one and make him his usual color. I think I might put polka dots on the balloons because hey, I can! LOL I love your colorful card and thank you for showing it to us. Thank you also for giving us the chance to win something! ‘Let’s go to the hop!’
