ATC World - Giraffes

Not a subject that stirs my heart but I know that somewhere I have some digis of giraffes..............

Then PJ opened one of his pressies from Father's Day and I did a double take on the packaging............




Giraffes.
Lots of Giraffes

I removed the packaging to my craft room and contemplated what could be done.  

I managed to get six useable ATC shapes from  all the cardboard and so I went to work.






I selected one Giraffe for each ATC and embossed it with clear powder.  I then embossed just the heads with self colour powder.  I trimmed and finished the ATCs but felt that they needed something to link them together.  I added a little heart on the black background.  These three have been sent off for a swap in my ATC World Group.


I photographed them at an angle so that the little hearts could be seen.  I have these three left to look at and enjoy for the moment.  I may trade them or use them on cards or just enjoy them .......




So there Mr Packaging - transformed you are!





 I embossed both heads on this card, exaggerating the purple one by embossing in a deeper purple. 

UPDATED 24.08.2013 to show off the lovely cards I have received by return.........


This tall silhouette of a giraffe is backed onto a lovely brown paper.
Thank you Becky



 What a cutie this one is.  He is standing in the same pose as the photo that is on the back taken by the artist at a wildlife park.
Thank you Kathy S


This is a very detailed watercolour - a proper watercolour painting! - and I just love it.
Thank you Jan C
