I just acquired the set In the Wild (thanks, Deloris!) and couldn't wait to ink it up!!
I've been wanting to use this color combination and my good friend, Tracy (nuts4levibutts), is redecorating her studio with Certainly Celery - so it's been on my mind!!
I used a leaf from a PTI set with Fresh Snow ink for the background on Kraft.
For the celery panel, I ran my embossing folder through the Big Shot -- first time!! It definitely gives a deeper emboss than the C'bug. I brushed a bit of Fresh Snow over the raised leaves also.
The sentiment is from another PTI set and edged with PTI chamois.
I stamped the giraffe with PTI's Scarlet Jewel as I don't have Razzleberry ink (yet ;) ).
The giraffe panel is cut/embossed with a Nestabilities die and then sponged with celery and matted with that fabulous Razzleberry.
The leaves around the giraffe are from Rubber Stamp Tapestry.
Buttons are PTI and held together with embroidery floss in a khaki/kraft-ish color .
I hope you enjoyed seeing this card ~ love the stamp set, love the colors .
As Ms. DP would say: Mood when done ~ tickled!!

Gosh, that deckle edged die looks good - I'd persuaded myself I didn't need them. Love your green and raspberry combination. Think I'd call it more loganberry myself, but it's always hard to tell on screen. And I really like your combination of the sentiment with the giraffe. I think the zebra is my favourite, but I must say that it's a great set all round.

Wow, Nancy, this is fabulous! I would have never thought of using these colors together but the finished project shows how perfect they are. I love all the litttle details that you used, the fresh snow ink on the embossed panel is a really nice touch and I love how you sponges around the image and inside the die. I love the little leaves you used, too, I am going to look for them or something similar. Into my faves you go,TFS!
