Happy Monday! I decided to take a break from Christmas cards this week. I needed to step away from all the red and green for a bit. Instead, I inked up this sweet image, Giraffes (H05), from Great Impressions Stamps.
When I first looked at this step, something with a mother and child or father and child theme jumped into my head.
But this time when I looked at this stamp, I thought they look like a happy couple. I decided to use these sweet giraffes to create an anniversary card. (My hubby and I are coming up on our 15th wedding anniversary!)
Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!
