I had this vision in my mind but I just couldn't make it work, so I modified my idea and this was the finished card. Combining a few sets from WPlus9: Tropic Fever and Party Animal with some ink smooshing and die cutting (Trellis Background 2). I stamped some leaves after smooshing ink, then smooshed more oxide ink on some scrap paper and die cut 3 more leaves and adhered at the bottom of the circle with foam tape.
Love the background, a soft ivory over PTI's Ocean Tides; I thought it matched really well with the Distress Oxide Inks. The giraffe was stamped, die cut and colored with Copics.
