Joan's Challenge #8

Good Morning Ladies,
I had a bit of a restless night. But I have learned to stay in bed and stick with it. I have no clue why some nights are like that.
I have created a card for Joan's Challenge #8 you can see and join in the challenge here... http://joanstouch.blogspot.com/2014/04/challenge-8.html
The requirements this week are as follows:
Use a plaid, checked, or striped paper.
Put a border around an image.
Use any color.
You must use a product sold at http://www.atjoansgardens.com/
Here is my entry....

This card started with the purple and yellow striped paper from Kaiser Kraft. Next I came the stamp set Bazoople #1 from Inky Antics. Terri told me she can order Inky Antics stamp sets. I love Inky Antics. I used the giraffe image from this set as well as the sentiments. I stamped the giraffe on Bristol paper and colorized him with copic markers. I cut him out with Spellbinders set Curved Rectangles s5-006. You can order these from Joan's Gardens. He was bordered with the same set. These rectangles were then inked in yellow using a cat's eye ink pad. You can buy cat's eye ink pads from Joan's Gardens. This card needed a little something more. So next came the Memory Box die Cottage Leaf #98342. This was cut out of purple glitter paper. So sweet and so fun!

This is the inside sentiment.
Thanks for another great challenge Joan and Terri!
Happy Scraps,
Mrs. Swandog
