I cut a 12x12 piece of light blue card stock to 4x12.
Then scored it at 4" and again at 8" to make a tri-fold card.
I stamped Mr. Giraffe with StazOn black ink and then stamped just his neck multiple other times. I used markers to color him.
Then the fussy cutting began! I'll be honest I didn't fully follow the lines when it came to the little hairs on his neck. After I cut out my pieces I went over the edges and hair with a black marker to make them all look more finished.
I then used the cloud stamps from the same set and stamped multiples of these as well.
I adhered the neck all the way up the card, using the little clouds to cover any obvious 'neck lines' I used foam adhesive to pop up his head to give him a more interesting look. Then finished off the card with the tiny "What's Up?" sentiment and by rounding the top and bottom corners.
How cute! Such a clever card :)
