Humorous Giraffe Birthday Card with Alex Syberia Love U Giraffe Digi

I'm once again guest designing for Kleuren met Potloden (Coloring with Pencils). If you're a pencil colorer I hope you'll come link up. Power to the pencil!!!

My card features the sponsor Alex Syberia's Love U Giraffe digital stamp. I've only ever made two cards featuring giraffes and wasn't quite  sure how to use this digi (I think this vintage look one from long ago turned out rather nice, but it's no longer my style). I decided to add my own punny sentiment (do you get it?) created with Abadi MT Condensed Light font and colored it up for a masculine birthday. The completing inside sentiment says, '...we're wishing you a Happy Birthday!'.

I'm using my new flat-sided oval dies again. I think I'm going to be getting my money's worth from these. The paper is defunct Tactile Studio Zoology digital; goodness, I've had this paper probably 10 years or more and this is the first time I've used it. I've dressed it up with a no-brand border and some rusty looking dots.
