IC366 Baby Giraffe

Photo Details

Poster: Cook22

I need to make a gender-neutral baby card for one of DH's staff who is going on maternity leave at Christmas, so the little Chambray Giraffe was perfect. In keeping with the inpspiration I just used Antique Linen and Vintage Photo to colour my image, but I made the background to go with the little jacket I'm knitting. Cover-a-Card Bubbles stamped with Versamark and embossed with Frosted Crystal, then brayered with Brilliance Peacock. I added a button tied with some of the cotton yarn, and popped the image panel up on foam dots.
Base is cut with the largest Lacy Squares.
