Again I've got a relatively clean and simple card for today's set. After stamping the tree, I masked the card base using a Spellbinders die and sponged in the sky.
I then added the animals and the sentiments, then drew the frame.
I must be in a rut because my second card is another side step card. The giraffe and tree image is actually from the 5th stamp set for this month. It's called Above the Rest and coordinates very nicely with Wild and Free.
The sentiment is actually longer than what appears on my card, but it was too long to fit in the space. I think the shortened version still conveys the message!
Don't forget to check out the rest of the team members' blogs and comment to win a free stamp set.

Awesome cards, great job on the reverse masking and the step card.
Both cards are amazing...that side step card is another work of art. Love this set using it.
Love the step card
Like the sun background coloring. I need to find out how you did the coloring to try that technique. Like the Giraffe paper piecing card. I used Be Wild & Free for the Simple Salutations Ch#3 Tree and used 2 inks to color it.
