The newest release is really great and includes so many stamps, dies, and a new ink pad color too!
There is also a free with 60$ purchase, the Happy Birthday Stamp Set.
In today's card, I feature the Summer Safari stamp set.

You may know I love scene cards, and this is no exception. I must say I was inspired by the one and only Sandy Allnock, she did a similar card a while ago, featuring another giraffe stamp, and I couldn't resist to make my version.
I firstly stamped the giraffe on a piece of Transotype Perfect Coloring paper, as I planned to color with copics. And then I started creating the scene, using copics (you can find the list below). I usually start with the background, and then color the stamped images.

When I finished the scene, which was 4,25"x5,5", I realized I didn't like the format. So, I took the Slimline Starter die-namics and I die cut a "strip", that matches to the giraffe's height.
I then looked in my patterned pads and I found this Stripe Splash, which was perfect to create the A2 card base.
To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment on a piece of Smooth White cardstock and I die cut it using the Slimline Skinny Strips die.
