Party Animals

This is not my usual card,saying that I do like it,so bright and cheerful. I set myself a challenge with this one, no stamp and to use just 12x12 scrapbook papers. So I used 2 different sheets from the Kaiser-craft collection called party animals.
The sentiment was from an old craft mag. The star is a sizzix diecut and the fab giraffe and lion embellies are cuttlebug diecuts with added googlie eyes. The circle behind the star is a woodware large circle punch. I've inked the edges with brown chalk ink and added some red gem stars for a bit of bling.
Let me know what you think of this different card.Click on the pic for a better veiw.
