Hello everyone! Justin from Justin a Note by Justin here, and today I am sharing my final card using the June 2024 Release. I wanted to use the Hi Hey Hello Giraffe stamp set because I love the sass this main image gives! I decided to create a scene card with this set, and have all the details to share with you.

Let's get wild with the details for how I created this card!
I started my card by using some of the Fern Green Paper Glaze from the Colors of Herb Paper Glaze sampler set and I spread a large solid layer on Mixed Media Paper. I let this glaze dry entirely. Once dry, I used the Scene Building: Tufts of Grass Die Set to die cut out (3) grass shapes. I set them aside for later.
Next, I stamped out the sassy giraffe from the Hi Hey Hello Giraffe stamp set in brown alcohol-marker-safe ink. I then colored up the image with my Copic Markers and die cut it out with with the coordinating die set. I also decided to heat emboss the sentiments "Hi Hey Hello", "happy birthday, Mate" and "Cheers to you" in white powder on brown paper. I cut these out using the Coordinating Dies to cut the sentiments out. I set both the image and the sentiments aside with the grass die cuts.

It was time to work on the background. Taking an A2-size piece of white blending cardstock, I blended up my ombré with Spiced Marmalade, Scattered Straw, Crushed Olive & Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink. I splattered the panel with water for some bleach spots. I then used the Scene Building Long Time No See Giraffe Stamp Set to stamp my scene using Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink.
I used the A2 Rectangles for Card Layering to both trim down my background panel to about 5.375" x 4.125", and also to trim an outline layer of brown cardstock to 5.5" x 4.25". I splattered my stamped background panel with Liquid Fire Orange Paper Splatter Watercolor, let it dry entirely, and then adhered the panel on top of the A2-size brown panel.
Using a combination of foam tape and liquid adhesive, I adhered the giraffe, sentiments, and grass die cuts to my panel. I finished the card by adhering a few sequins from the Friends in Tall Places Sequin Mix, and then adhering the entire panel to an A2 Card Base. My card was completed!
