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.
