Happy Friday! I’m over on the Topflight Stamps blog today with a fun giraffe card I made for my daughter’s friend for her birthday.
Ā I love this image from Pink Ink Design and what is even more fun, she comes with sunglasses!
This giraffe was so fun to color up. For my card I stamped the giraffe in my MISTI using Versfine ink and clear heat embossed her.

I used Zig Real Brush Markers to watercolor her. For the body I used 052 Bright Yellow, 070 Orange, 220 Tea Rose, and 027 Dark Pink. For the background I used 038 Peacock Blue and 031 Colbalt Blue. I finished the image with some clear sparkle pen.

The detail on this giraffe is great and so fun. After the image was dry, I used the Polkadoodles Celebrations set for the sentiment and added clear sparkle embossing powder for extra shine. To finish my card I added some Hunkydory Diamond Sparkles.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Hi, I love your giraffe, you made it very beautifulš
Did you use the embossingpowder so the paint doesn’t run out? Or does it look better with it? Would black embossingpowder looks nice too, you think?
Thank you. Yes I used Versafine black ink and clear embossing powder. I think any color would be a fun addition to this gorgeous giraffe
