Hi Everyone, my first DT make today is for -
Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale,
Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter.
I have a lot of birthdays and this is one I made for a GNephew. He is tall and quite serious, so I thought I'd give him a laugh or a smile?
I printed the background to include the sentiment and then on my Silhouette, print and cut 3 layers of the digital stamp giraffe. I coloured the top layer, I had seen a coloured giraffe on the web and thought why not? It was coloured loosely in DI's, then the layers were glued together. Something I learned recently is that giraffes have purple tongues, which tied in nicely with his colours.
Before attaching the giraffe layers to the base layer, I stencilled leaves, then added it to a giraffe pattern paper, not that you can see much of it. It was then glued to the base card. Next I added the giraffe layers and decided to add a stamped, then die cut leaf.

I agree with Brenda, a fabulous card sure to be loved. xx
OMYGOSH, Faithie, I feel like I won the lotto haha. To explain: I have that magazine issue and that stencil, so I saved your card as my first sample! Then, you used Faith Skrola's giraffe. Although I don't have that one, I went to look at the ones I do have and saw she died in 2017 (I notated it in my folder name). It'll be a decade next year. You did her justice on this, love the whimsical colors, his expression shines through even better. Great card and I know your g-neph will smile, if only to himself heehee.
Anyway, you made my day. Thanks, sweet friend, xoxo
This should certainly make your nephew smile, it’s so cute and the stencilled leaves finish it off perfectly xx
I didn't know about the purple tongue and I love Giraffe's! This is such a fun and colourful card.
I bet this fun and colorful design brings a smile to your great nephew's face, Faith!
