Blue giraffe ...

It is amazing how quickly the weeks seem to pass ... especially, it seems, when you are on a design team!!  So here I am hopefully to inspire you to join in with the new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.  This week we have a photograph to inspire you:

Take inspiration from any aspect - the colours, the chevrons, new baby, the clouds, the mobile - the choice is all yours.  I went with the new baby theme and the colours.

I stamped the giraffe with grey ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I water coloured the giraffe using distress ink.  I added some narrow washi tape to the edges to reflect the chevron in the photo.  I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out the giraffe before adhering it to a panel using fun foam to add some dimension.

I used:

Hunkdory, For the Love of Stamps - Another Year Taller

Versafine Smokey Gray Ink

Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass

WOW Clear Embossing Powder

Lawn Fawn - Lawn Cuts Stitched Rectangles

Enjoy!
