This is for Color Challenge CC384, and for the Tea Party Challenge MMTPT207, to bring giraffes! I am also claiming credit for the Christmas Card Challenge for 2012.
I committed to 12 holiday cards a month and, umm, this is my second one this month and this year
I have been wanting to make a card using this giraffe, for oh, say 15 years probably!! I love this giraffe from Magenta, and I've always been freaked out about actually doing something with him.
Thanks to two of the challenges about using holiday colors, and bringing giraffes -- it all came together.
This is a prototype -- I want to do a little bit different coloring but I think I will keep the rest as it is.
I think this deserves one extra cookie because the way the garland wraps around the giraffe reminds me of the silly leaves on the spout of the teapot.
I want to send a card to Alex but is this too weird to send her a Christmas card now? Maybe I can send it attention of sumtoy and she can save it for a few months?
I think that I will repeat this card a few times for sending to my family and friends as one of my holiday cards. I need to find a different phrase.
Stamp: Magenta giraffe
Colors: Cherry Cobbler, Vanilla, and Old Olive (substitute for Gumball Green), More Mustard, So Saffron, Tempting Turquoise, Baja Blue, Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie

I think it would be fine to send it now...think of it like...maybe he is getting so excited with only like150 days left or got to sneaking around and found an old box of decoartions...girraffes can be sneaky too and they definitely get into trouble. look at Melman from madagascar...lol...very cute and would make a fun Christmas card too...really pretty dp such a gorgeous color...TFS...:0)

What an adorable card, and who would not love that giraffe all tangled up with Christmas decorations. He sure got himself into a mess - lol. Again, adorable.

How super is this giraffe! I can't believe you've held back for 15 years. I need to be making Christmas cards, too. I've made 3, I think.
