Challenge for today is ‘Down Memory Lane’ which should give us all loads of scope, but which memory to chose that can be done as a card!
To be honest, I was a little stuck on this one. I got out all my Stampin’ Up! designer series papers for some inspiration. I came across the DSP Animal Expedition which also has a stamp set, ‘Animal Outing’ Both have the image of a Rhinoceros and there was my memory.
On a holiday in Nepal we were at a local concert, when our tour guide came running in to let us know a Rhino was ‘walking’ through the village! Magic scene! Walking down the road with a Rhino!!

With the Animal Expedition bundle I had the choice of either a stamp to colour or to fussy cut a Rhino from the DSP. I decided on the fussy cut option and picking up on the Call me Clover colour decided I wanted a plain background behind the Rhino.
With a white card base, Call me Clover 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and a piece of the Animal Expedition DSP which I had cut to just expose one frog in the tree. I liked the effect of the branches on this DSP which was to be behind the Rhino image and I did not want to cover the DSP too much.
Using the Stitched Sweetly Dies, they were either larger or smaller than I wanted, so I manipulated the die cut.

When lining up to die cut, if one edge hangs over the side, it doesn’t get the required pressure to cut that edge. So with three edges cut, I have lined up & repositioned the die, then held it in place with some washi tape. Run it again through the die cut machine, making sure the original cut edge hangs over if the plates so it doesn’t cut.
The card is finished with the sentiment from ‘En Route’ in matching ink & it has been cut out with the Classic Label Punch.
