Baby Giraffe

When I saw this cute baby giraffe image in Lee's Digi Shop I couldn't resist making a quick card.  He kind of led me towards a 'baby themed' card, but then the colours that I've used have matched the giraffe rather than suiting a baby theme in pink or blue.

D'oh!

But then I think he's going to be an image that gets used again fairly quickly as I think he's adorable, so the next time I'll stick to the plan.

Hope you like him too.



Card Recipe:
I've been inspired by:
  • That's Crafty - Texture (embossing, raised panels, ribbon, pearls)
  • Sweet Stampin' - Baby
  • Simon's Wednesday Challenge - Masculine
  • Lawnscaping Challenge - Embossing (the spotty paper is embossed)
Happy crafting
Annette

He's just about the cutest giraffe I have ever seen. In real life we have only ever had scary encounters!! When the boys were small we took them to Longleat. We were rather surprised when a giraffe stuck it's head in the car and pinched an Easter biscuit from our eldest who was about 6!! Have a lovely weekend xx
