Animal Outing is one of the new stamp sets from the Annual Catalog and it has definitely been a popular one. The set has a kangaroo, a giraffe and this rhinoceros along with some great little phrases. This stamp set is part of a whole suite of fabulous products. There is a coordinating set of framelits — that’s right, you don’t have to fussy cut around these adorable animals. There is also a coordinating cardstock pack, leaf ribbon, frames elements (wood die cut embellishments) and of course designer paper.
For this card, I didn’t have the Animal Expedition designer paper yet so I used the Tranquil Textures designer paper. I thought it coordinated very well – the blue background makes me think of footprints. I used a simple layout to truly focus on the stamped image with the subtle backgrounds.
