Clean and Simple have another challenge this week where they have paired up with 'Colour Q' for a colour challenge.  I chose my colour inspiration from challenge #58.   

I don't have many supplies and colours to choose from yet, so it was actually quiet hard to find a combination that I could pull off with what I have at home.

The card itself strays a bit from the Clean and Simple concept as I didn't use any embellishments / feature pieces in the top right hand corner of the card.  I decided not to use any further detail, given that the cut out pieces and flowers are the focal point of the card.

Yellow Giraffe welcomes baby !!

A quick baby card inspired by my new collection of stampin' up inks and new stamp set.

I used 'so saffron' to stamp out the giraffe from 'Animal Stories' on some plain white card.  I cut out the stamped image, tied a little yellow ribbon around the giraffes neck, and then mounted onto the die cut (and embossed) pale yellow scalloped circle.  I then framed the giraffe piece with another scalloped circle in a dark yellow colour.

I found some matching scrap-book paper (in my collection) to run across the centre of the card, and placed the stamped piece on the left hand side.
