C.R.A.F.T. Challenge GDT: Kawaii Giraffe

 

Hello

I am delighted to be joining C.R.A.F.T. Challenge Blog for a month of Guest DT posts. Thank you to Jo and the C.R.A.F.T. Team for inviting me.

The challenge theme this second week is an EASEL card and the sponsors are All Dressed Up and Oddball Art.

I used an Oddball Art image called Kawaii Valentine Giraffe.

I made a circular easel card using a scalloped circle die set. I made the base of the card in black and added a smaller scallop of white card as the topper and a second one inside. 

The front panel was heat embossed with fine white powder using the Reverse Stars stamp from AALL & Create. I then dipped my card into puddles of Dried Marigold Distress Oxide to add the colour. I love how one oxide pad can give a variety of shades of the same colour.

I coloured my giraffe with Copic markers and fussy cut him. I added  Glossy Accents to his eyes and to the heart. The sentiments both on the outside and inside are stamps by Lawn Fawn. The ones inside are popped up on foam to act as the stopper for the easel.

Here is a close up of the cute giraffe - his markings are in fact hearts - how adorable!

You can enter the C.R.A.F.T. challenge twice - we hope to see you there.

That's all for now. I'm back next Thursday day with another challenge inspiration card for the C.R.A.F.T. blog.

Thanks for stopping by today.
