Hello. Welcome. I have been playing with the fabulous new stamps set African Animals from Rubber Dance Stamps. I decided to make a set of cards and a matching box.
Tip: Make sure the box is big enough for the ENVELOPES!! LOL
I made my box to fit my cards, and then realised envelopes are bigger!! Duh! Luckily I found some slightly smaller envelopes, so I just adjusted my card size to fit. My box is cut from MME patterned card and stamped with distress inks.
I made two versions of each card, one with Norwegian and one with English text.
I made all these in the same way. I stamped the animals on MME coloured card and masked. I added the sentiments and then randomly stamped using different stamps and distress inks to create the backgrounds.
Love that giraffe.
Do not adjust your set!!! These rhino's look a little blurry cos I stamped them in distress ink, but they started to get a bit lost in the background. So I decided to over stamp with black archival. Oops, a bit off target. I kinda like the blur effect....... Well, I got to say that haven't I? LOL
I used stamps from the following Rubber Dance sets: African Animals, Norwegian Funny Birthday, Happy Birthday, and ATC Backgrounds 1.
All stamps are available from Rubber Dance, and if you would like 15% off your order you can use the code gail2015
And don't forget there is still time to join this month's challenge with the chance to win some loverly rubber
Thanks for your visit. Hugz

Had to laugh at your comment about the box - I have done that before! You are lucky the cards could be easily adjusted (I was not - lol). Great card set - love it and the box. Thanks for playing with us in the DRS Designs Challenge - your cards work perfectly for it Gail and we always love to see what you are up to. Hugz
