I had to try my hand at making one of those  4 .25  sq  base cards  That I have been seeing around alot lately, with the  end  measurement of  my card being 4 .25 X 5 .50 with the baby Giraffe popping up  to  make it the 5.50  finial  size.. I also used my friend Gwen’s  sketch  layout  from yesterday  on  our angel group , Not exactly  what the  sketch  looked like  piece by piece  But  the idea and layout  did  come from  the sketch template . ( Thanks  Gwen baby ) I used  cool Caribbean , black and whisper white  card stock  along with my  scallop  scissors and  my  awesome crop-a-dile  for my eyelets , and my white gel pen  along with my black  stamp & write  marker  for the  doodle  dots  & my  Bundle of joy stamp set .. I really love  how it all  turned out.
