Neck 'N Neck

Hi, Bloggin' Buddies!

You may remember this card that I posted a while ago using our friend's cute photo of a giraffe. She loved the set I made her so much that she asked if she could pay me to do some more. Well, I explained that I really don't sell my cards - I prefer to share them with those who enjoy and appreciate them. Also, I really don't like to mass-produce.

But I told her that if I could do them at a leisurely pace (no deadlines - I'm retired!) and if I could mix them up a little, it would be a fun challenge.

Over several weeks I produced two each of four designs featuring her cute giraffe photo.

I used Graphic 45 paper, vellum, some camera paper, a stencil (My Favorite Things) and some additional stash finds.

It was a fun project and I was more than happy to do it for a very dear lady.

Thanks for the visit and have a great day!

One more tiny thank you!

As I have shared with you, I really like making some tiny cards for simple thank yous that don't need lots of words. One of my dear friends is nuts about giraffes, so I made this for her. I love the simplicity of it. The stamp is from paper Salon (1020F) and the sentiment is an SRM Stickers (I'm just starting to use these - they are great!).

The flower is from my stash, I did some faux stitching aound the edge and I even lined the little envelope with matching patterned paper.

The sweet giraffe is colored with Copics and I used some Glossy Accents on the balloon.

Thanks for looking and thanks, Kathleen!
