Happy Birthday Niece

Here is a card that I have made for my niece's birthday today.  Not sure what she will think of it but I am hoping she likes it as it took quite a long time to make.

For my card I have used the Pink Ink Designs stamp set called "Giraffe".  I have used the main stamps along with two different leaves and the flower stamp - and of course the designer glasses for the giraffe!!!!  For the giraffe I have stamped her onto some printed paper from my stash.

I have used a large card die for the actual card shape and the different layers, putting one layer through a Crafter's Companion dotty 8x8 embossing folder.

I didn't want to detract from the image, leaves and flowers so I have just finished the card off with a stamped sentiment.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Very different and very creative! I love the "intellectual" Zebra and the amazing treatment you have given him! I think the leafy embellishment is just the best! Beautifully done!
