Africa : Wild about you !

 Hi there!

Things are a bit quiet in my craft room and therefore on the blog too... but there's a good reason for that! Our oldest daughter is visiting from Cape Town and we are making the most of our time together!

But... when I saw the cue card at CASology this week, I knew I had to take some time out to play along. I am a child of Africa and will always be ! So this morning while she was still asleep, I got up to make a card. Or actually two. One the result of the other as it so often happens 😊. I will share the other in a separate post because I want to link them both to the challenge.

First up the secondary card :


Hero arts : Safari Wild about you


Hero arts : Safari Wild about you


Hero arts : Safari Wild about you


 I used :


  • Safari-wild-about-you stamp set by Hero Arts
  • Rustic-linen stamp set by Altenew (adding texture)
  • Distress oxide inks
  • Africa stencil cut with my Silhouette cameo
  • Versafine black ink
  • Misti

Sharing my card at :

Thanks for visiting me today!

An amazing card!
Love that you used the shape of Africa to create this scene. Had been looking for something like that myself as I am a huge Africa lover - didn't think about making my own stencil yet, so thatnks for giving me the idea.
Looking forward to seeing the other card you've made.

Hugs,
Melanie
