Kiss Me Giraffes

It's been awhile since I've played with my Paper Smooches stamps (especially since I got some new ones for Christmas!) and when I saw this weeks challenge, an idea immediately popped in my mind.  This weeks is a Picture Perfect challenge:


Such a cute picture.  So here's what I came up with:


I took the giraffe from Zoo Crew, bent the neck slightly then stamped it.  I tried a reverse stamp for the first time to get the mirrored giraffe on the left.  It took a few tries, but I finally got one that I liked.  I did some really simple copic coloring then popped it on the houndstooth background from Debonair that I white heat embossed then covered with an ombre of Distress Inks.


Thanks for stopping by,

Angie

  1. Angie - your giraffes are ADORABLE! Such a cute card - and the 'reverse' stamping worked out wonderfully. Must try that! My first two sets of PS stamps - Zoo Crew being one - arrived this week. Can't wait to get them inky! Thanks for the day-brightening, smile-making card!

  2. Really cute card!! I love the curving of the giraffes' necks and am really impressed with the reverse stamping. I've tried it and it is not easy to get a good impression!
