GIRAFFE/TAG FUSION

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone! A good day to share a pitcher of margaritas on the patio with friends - surely it's 5:00 somewhere in the world!  

This morning's share is a card for the current Fusion - Mother's Day Challenge. I didn't think I could do a fusion of both a tag and a baby giraffe, but I remembered this PTI stamp set and matching dies - "Sweet Baby" - that I've had for quite a few years. 


I chose to use the tag die in reverse so that the little baby giraffe could insert his head for a "peek-a-boo". It was all very simple. I die-cut the tag (Stampin' Up "Framelits - Chalk Talk") from white cardstock, mounted it to a PTI tiny kraft print plaid with some dimensional foam and attached all of that to a folded card base. The little giraffe was die cut and stamped with Altenew "Rocky Shore" dye ink and tucked behind the opening. The tiny sentiment (Hero Arts CF351) was also stamped with Rocky Shore and the larger sentiment was heat embossed in white on kraft card stock, cut out and attached to some alphabet printed paper, tied with brown and white baker's twine, and mounted to the face of the card. The coordinating envelope is also one of PTI's printed papers.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day - it's lovely here today in southern Oregon, with an expected high of 90 degrees. The morning glories that my granddaughter and I planted a couple of weeks ago are starting to poke their heads out of the ground and it's amazing how quickly they grow once the ground warms up! Now to find my margarita pitcher and lost shaker of salt (sorry, couldn't resist).
