I'm hosting this week's tea party for Steve, the brother of our own mschmidty. Shelly says that her brother has a silly sense of humor, so I've challenged everyone to include a silly joke on their card to lift Steve's spirits. I hope he likes mine. The inside says "You bet giraffe I do!"
My challenge also includes some different techniques to choose from. I had this giraffe stamp on my waiting list to finally get inked up and I thought it would look great with the Faux Stamped Leather technique. I've also never done the technique the real way. I usually cheat by using an embossing folder, but I'm happy with the results I got "the real way".
I hope you'll join our tea party this week and send some cheer to Steve!

See, I told you, you should win the SCS (similar to the Mark Twain) humor award. You could share it with Anne. This is fun. Giraffes gallop too, like horses. could you ride one, I wonder?

As a giraffe lover, this sentiment is one of my favs. Great job on your card for Steve.

Love the giraffe done with the faux leather stamped technique, Jen! Great dp to match and a wonderful, punny sentiment! I forgot about that part of the challenge - will include a joke on the inside of my card!
