Wise Giraffe ATC's

Hello.  Gail from the design team here today with some inspiration for the current Rubber Dance colour challenge, Magenta, Yellow and Turquoise.  I decided to use one of my favourite Rubber Dance stamps, Giraffe, and play with some words.  

I've used a Stamplorations stencil and Dreamweavers yellow embossing paste for the background, with Rubber Dance stamps Giraffe, and words from Mail Art and Sarcastic Superpower.


I stamped and embossed the giraffe and words on self adhesive paper and fussy cut.  I added a black mat behind the words.  

I decapitated the giraffe, ouch! so I could add her head at a different angle.  Hmmmmm, she knows!!  You know!!  

Again I added the head at a different angle with words from Sarcastic Superpower.

  
Hope you enjoyed my little trio of giraffe wisdom.   Here's the challenge colour board

I hope you get time to create and join the fun.  Remember, the Rubber Dance challenges are two weekly now, so this challenge closes on the 14th and there will be a new theme challenge starting on the 15th.  

 All the stamps I used today are available in the bright and beautiful Rubber Dance shop.

My giraffe is gong to join the fun at

LoL You made my day, Gail! This is so funny :-)) It reminds me of the old Norwegian joke (or something): "Jai vet hvor postkassa di bor".. This was a very popular sentence when I was young for about 100 years ago.
I love the way you snapped the giraffe to get a different look.
Hugs, Anita ♥

Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - October

Klikk her for info på norsk (info in Norwegian) Hello, gorgeous! Are you ready for another fun challenge? I guess you are! Our colour scheme and theme this month might not come as a big surprise. After all, fall/autumn is all around us (here in the north, anyway), and we do love its glorious colours! We hope you do, too, when you create an entry (or three) for our October Challenge: Did you know that "fall" is an Old English word? It replaced the word 'harvest' in the early 1600s as more people started moving into cities. City dwellers began to use the phrase 'fall of the leaf'' and, over time, the phrase was shortened to fall. Surprisingly, etymologists don’t know where the word "autumn" comes from. It was used as far back at the 1300s (by Chaucer), and Shakespeare often used the word, too. As English spread to the New World, the common season names split as well and today, American English uses the word fall while British English
