First I would like to give a warm welcome to my two new followers Babs and Kelly . I hope you will be able to visit their blogs to see the lovely work they do.
My card today was made with a scrap of paper from my snippets box and a small piece of core card which I embossed and rubbed back. I distressed the edges and matted onto a scrap of black card.
The giraffe was stamped onto a scrap of white card with a Lawn Fawn stamp and cut from the matching die.
The sentiment is from a set by Lindsay Mason.
I'm taking my card over to join in with the playmates at Pixies Snippets Playground - Week 271 & 272

Great card Barb - and such a sweet little giraffe! Gosh you're brave rubbing the paper back to the core - I always make such an uneven mess when I try that!

Lovely card Barb - however, I did have a bit of a moment when you mentioned distressed edges! It looks great and I really like the effect but I have to force myself to do it .... just occasionally, to prove that I am not obsessive about clean cut edges. The card is so cute and I love the little giraffe stamp and colours you have used. Anne xx
A sweet card Barb, such a cute giraffe.

Super cute, Barb!
A sweet giraffe! And love the core-cardstock; allways gives such a beautiful result! Hope your day is a sunny one )here it is raining and gray, so a perfect day to work, study and do a bit of stamping...)
Oh how cute is this, love what you have done with all those snippets Barb. Thank you for your visit too.

A lovely card Barb - my sister-in-law would love it, she's mad about giraffes.

What a great wildlife card. I had to "awwww' over the giraffe. I was poking around in random places in my craft room recently and found all my Lawn Fawn stamps. I put them in a "special place" which basically means I never remember I have them. Must rectify that!
This is so adorable, like the dry embossing on your card, lovely touch Barb!
Love this card Barb, The giraffe it adorable,

Super cute & sweet, and I like the subtle shades of the tan colors. The core card looks like fabric too! It's a darling little giraffe, and how well you've placed him in this design. The side embossing looks so nice too. It's a lovely birthday card - for either gender! TFS & Hugs
What an adorable little giraffe Barb and coloured to perfection! Love the way you highlighted the embossing by rubbing it back like that! Have a lovely weekend! Luv n’ Hugs. Hazel xx
