I didn't have any animal prints and I had this sneaking suspicion we would have to do a challenge with animal prints after reading the shopping list! So all week, I tried to think of what animal I could replicate should we be asked, and I came up with a giraffe...I originally planned on using punches, but remembered this set last night! I used the shadow triple circle stamp in this set over yellow paper, then just started adding tons of inks on with my finger, smudging them around. Her nostrils are the flame for the candles in this set! I got the idea of a flap fold because of the triangular shape of a giraffe's head. This card's sentiment is gone wild because this was a 2-sided paper...the one side was the only bigger yellow piece I had in the house, but the reverse is this crazy, wild floral print that makes you dizzy, so that's what you see when you open it! Wild on both sides!
