Giraffe & Bird by Rachelle Anne Miller (RAM) Stamps for Little Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #273 on the 1st of March 2026

 

Hi All!

Wow, what crazy weather we have been having! It has been quite hot, then it is rainy and thunderstorms, but still hot. So it is yucky and muggy! With the thunderstorms it is a little hard to be on my computer, so I'll be quick!

Anyway, welcome to my post about my card for challenge #273, the 1st of March 2026 challenge for the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog.

Here is my card:

Prize is $10 AUD Gift Certificate

I chose Giraffe & Bird, which I have digitally printed on to X-Press It Blending card and coloured with the following Copics markers:

• giraffe - E70, E71, E74, E77, E79, 0, R20, C3, C5, C7, C9
• bird - BG11, BG13, BG18, Y15, YR23
• grass and squiggles - YG03, YG17, YG23, YG25, YG61, YG63, YG67
• flowers & heart - R81, R83, R85, YR23
• sky - B0000, B000, B00, B01

As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes and bonus classes.

Here is a close up of the colouring:

I die cut the image with the largest of the Scalloped Frames Die from La-La Land Crafts and then popped the coloured image on to a Kraft card from Envelope Solutions.

I finger-painted the frame with gold acrylic paint and then adhered it on to the card.
