This card uses a great image I got from Just Ink Lined I have coloured him with my promarkers and although it doesn't show in the picture  I have added glitter to the water squirting up as well.

Special Birthday...

Image
My friend asked me to do a giraffe based card for her sons girlfriend She gave me the words she wanted me to use as well Which were 'You not Special Because its your birthday,  you are special every day!' I found an image of a giraffe and used my brother scan and cut to cut it. Repeating the image so I could decoupage it I also used the image on the inside and the envelope to pull it all together The yellow paper I used an embossing folder on in my cut n boss and cut an oval out the star paper using my spellbinders dies in the cut n boss She was really pleased with the card This card is for the following challenges: Inspirational Destination Challenge - Anything Goes Crafting with Friends - Anything Goes Crafting with Attitude - Anything Goes Through the Purple Haze - Anything Happy Thanks for Looking
