I have an encouragement card for my #WWDB challenge card at Technique Junkies today. The theme this week is 'Thinking of you.' I figure thinking of you and encouraging you are similar, so I'm going with it!
I just adore this stamp! I have had it for years, and use it often. I had separated the verse from the image, so that it is it's own stamp. That way I can use the giraffe portion of it wherever I want, or not use the verse at all (or use it on the inside).

Stand Tall
I black embossed the Stand Tall image onto a white A2 card front, keeping it a little in from the left side and bottom of the card. I used my frog tape to create a frame from the card by taping the card about 1/2 inch or so from the edge all the way around.
I placed a crackle layering stencil from my stash over the card, and used distress inks in scattered straw, faded jeans, and peeled paint to add color through the stencil with my ink blending brush applicators (available from Technique Junkies).
When I was satisfied with the intensity, I used the brushes to very lightly go over the entire area.
Then I removed the tape, and Voila! A framed area for my giraffes to live!
I stamped the verse with VersaFine Clair nocturne ink. Some black enamel dots finish the front.
I used the stencil lightly on the envelope, and stamped three of the giraffes, then spattered with watered down black acrylic paint.
Inside, I masked off an area and lightly brushed faint yellow along the edges, then inked the image with the three colors I used on the front, and stamped it in the corner.
That's it. Easy-peasy. This was one of these really fun cards to create. And I feel it is pretty timely right now. I need a few more cards for my church card ministry to send to shut-ins, and I think I will use this. It should bring a smile to a few lonely people!
I hope you have had a chance to check out the What We Do Best challenge at TJ, and that you have, or will join us. Who know, you just might win a $50 gift certificate to the TJ store in the random drawing each week!
Don't forget to use my code, TJ10Lynda, for 10% off your entire order.
AND, until Friday, May 8th, you get 15% off new May release stamps. This stamp is not a new release, but you definitely want to check those out while you are on the TJ site!
Thank you for visiting today. I appreciate you taking time to stop by and leave comments.
