How about this for a sassy sentiment?  Of course, I have my wild animal here, but I wanted the sentiment to really stand out.  I can't think of a better way to do that other than using a clean and simple design.  I stamped my sentiment first, of course and then embossed the wood grain pattern over the top.  My copper colored brads were a touch to bright, so I dulled them down a bit with the darkest Copic Markers I used to color my buffalo.

You know you have too many stamps when you have had this idea rolling around your head for about four years.  The Be Wild set was released about that long ago, but really is timeless.  I love silhouette images and this set has many.  I used 6 stamps from the set on this tiny little card.  The globe is created with several "wild animal" images.  Moving clockwise from Africa, you will see the top of the lion, the bottom of the rhinoceros, the top of the giraffe and an encore appearance of the rhino.  Not only is the a card, but it's also a rebus puzzle.  Can you figure it out?  (I will send a brand new MFP stamp set to one person who posts the correct answer.  I'll randomly select the winner from all correct answers.)

The card isn't too terribly difficult to make.  It does involve quite a bit of embossing resist.  All the animals were stamped in pear tart and then embossed over.  After that I sponged over the embossed images with the tempting turquoise.  For my elephant, I stamped the peace sentiment first and embossed over it.  Then I stamped my elephant in basic gray over the sentiment.  I embossed my elephant and sponged tempting turquoise over the whole circle.

After yesterday's sweet little wild animal, I did go with one of the predators today.  It would be quite something to see this guy stalking you wouldn't it?  I tried to soften him up with a plaid and some burlap. What do you think?  Did it do the trick?  I find myself tending toward masculine card with these wild animal images.  This works for me because my stash is always notoriously low on masculine cards.

When I first thought about MFP Stamp Shop wild animals, all the predators came to mind, like those featured in the first set shown in this post.  After browsing my stamps, I realized that some of those wild animals might be cute.  This fox came from What a Fox and I gave him a background from Mountain Selections and Scenic Selections.  Finally, I finished my stamping with a sentiment from Birthday Mini.
