{Spotlight Project} Shirley Goes On Safari

I've been playing with the Artsy Tribal Doodles stamp club set again. This time, I wanted to make my own tribal patterned paper so that I could die cut some giraffe and elephant shapes using Deepti's Tweet Love dies.

I started off by stamping some of the shapes onto white card. Rather than stamp each image individually, I put four of the shapes onto one acrylic block so that I could fill the sheet quicker.

I can't stamp in a straight line to save my life, but it didn't matter because I was die cutting shapes from it.

Once the sheet was stamped, I filled in some of the gaps with the small dot stamp, then die cut my shapes.

On to the background. I sponged Distress Inks across a panel of white card, splashed with water then stamped the leaves (from Trendy Leaves).  I used the new Stitched Snow Hills die to cut a hill from green card, stamped the sentiment (from The Bee's Knees Birds of Paradise), then attached it to my sponged panel.

All that was left was to place my giraffe so that he looks like he's nibbling the leaves.

Remember, if you try out any of the techniques from our Spotlight posts and add your project to our Spotlight Project Showcase you have a chance to win a $15 gift certificate (random drawing) OR your choice of 5x7 stamp set + a Spotlight Project guest designer spot (randomly drawn from the Top 3 picks).
