MMTPT711 John's Giraffe

Photo Details

Poster: Cook22

Lisa is our Teapot Tuesday hostess this week: MMTPT711 - March 8, 2022 - Pick Your Squares by Shoe Girl at Splitcoaststampers
It's a double, wide-open tic tac toe challenge, as she gave us a wild card for the middle square.

For this one I went down the left column - circle, blue, dimensional.
I created my clingwrap background using two shades of blue Brusho, spray starch and gold Pixie powder. The bright moon was sponged with mustard seed and wild honey distress. I cut the tree and giraffe from black, and also a grassy strip for the bottom which I embossed with Subtle and buffed lightly with some luster rub-on just for contrast. I cut a narrow frame and popped that, the giraffe and the tree up on foam tape. This was largely inspired by one of the Windows photos that came up on my screen last week of the Masai Mara reserve in Kenya, which had deep blue sky, golden sun and silhouetted trees.

Such a DRAMATIC and EYE-CATCHING scene and combination of colors, Sabrina! It just jumped out at me in the gallery! Love that when it happens! Beautiful, beautiful blue background and moon...the perfect backdrop for your silhouetted African scene!

Another vote for Dramatic and Eye-catching. That bg and big moon are just stellar and I love that you used an African theme with it. My great friend has visited Africa numerous times and the Marsai Mara is one of her favorite destinations. The wildlife she has seen is awe inspiring...just like your card. Love this.

Sabrina, this is stunning! I love the deep blue night sky you created with the Brusho and that big, bright moon just glows against it. Wonderful tree and africa die cuts are perfect with your background. Faved!

Wow, this is gorgeous! Love the dramatic effect of that moon against the sky - which is a stunning work of art. Great card!
