Howdy~ho Poppystamps friends! I have the cuuuuutest card to share with you today, featuring the fun Whittle Racing Giraffe Kit. Do you see a little sneak peek behind the scenes? Lets jump right in and I'll give you all the details.
I knew I wanted to use the Whittle Racing Giraffe Kit, so I cut the giraffes out of a piece of pale yellow cardstock from the 6x6 Sunrise Solid Core Cardstock pad. I cut the tree pieces and the clouds out of a piece of white cardstock that had been previously embossed with a large polka dot pattern, which I found in my box of scraps. I added color to each of the pieces using Copic markers on the giraffes and tree trunk and Distress Oxide inks on the clouds and tree canopies. (I had cut two of the canopies). Now what to do with the background??
I was a bit perplexed on what to do for a background until I came across the Nordic Flower Heads from the spring release. I cut them out three times using soft yellow and soft orange from the same 6x6 Sunrise Solid Core Cardstock pad, and a piece of cream colored cardstock from my scrap box. I commenced to laying the flowers out in a random pattern, trying to mix up the colors as much as I could, while covering the front of an A2 sized card. I snipped off the flower pieces that were overhanging the sides and cut a piece of vellum that measured 4"x5 1/4" and glued it to the top of the flowery background.
Next, I glued the scenery pieces onto the front of the card, over the vellum layer. I cut both the wavy and straight banners from the Sentimental Banners set out of white cardstock and had to decide which of the wonderful sentiments I was going to use.
I finally setting on "You are Amazing".
I think this card turned out so fun!

OMGoodness, I absolutely love this! Your background with the flowers under vellum is amazing. The one flower looks like the sun, and in this magical world the sky is full of them. Such a cute set with the race car, tree, and clouds to complete the scene. Adorable!

I was not aware that you had a challenge. So glad that I now know. Your card is adorable and you certainly did a great job with that background. I love the dreamy look that the vellum gives this card.
Oh that is just adorable, love the shole scene, the vellum on the background looks great and like the clouds added, neat dimension on the tree too!
