I used the giraffe from Rubber Dance African Animals and paper tape for the card background. I stamped, embossed and fussy cut a herd of giraffe and arranged them on my card. Familie Giraffe. Smile.
This works well for the Rubber Dance challenge this month which is black, white and a colour of your choice. In this case orange. Love B&W+1. So looking forward to seeing your ideas. Are you going to join us??
I was also working on my DT piece this afternoon. I have had to change my plan because my original idea just wasn't working. That's how it goes sometimes. So I had the black and white all sewn up but couldn't decide on my third colour. I thought I'd ask you. And I thought I send a little surprise to one person who joins in with my little game. Please leave me a comment letting me know how much you like my giraffes LOL. If you want to be in the draw for a surprise please include a colour you think I should use in my next project and whether you think the surprise should include a stamp, a die or an embossing folder. I will ask Mr Random to draw a winner. Sometime before the next full moon. Not sure when that is! Will have to look it up. (Rebecca says it's Jan 23rd so lets go with that!!) CLOSED Winner announced HERE
PS. Don't worry Bibi. I have already decided which colour to use LOL.
Thanks for dropping by. Hugz

HAHA! Can't resist such a competition, even if you HAVE decided on a colour! I think BRIGHT YELLOW cos you're in the 'un-warm' season & that would make you think of sunshine! And I do love your giraffes too...they have such personalities;) And the prize should be a sur-PRIZE. hah! Had to say that;) OH! And BIG congrats at finally finishing your pack 'o' cards. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun, those giraffes! happy New Year to you, in case I have forgotten to tell you in a prior comment.... getting old here, I think...
ReplyDeleteLove your giraffes. They are rally Cool 😄😄. When not use blue as your entra colour! Blue like the Beautiful sky will be this morning with the stars disappearing ,as the sky will be during the day, very bright and clear , as the sky in Norway gets when it is Cold and clear weather😀 . Or just blue from freezing as I feel now , after getting out the horses and clearing out the stable... Brrrrrr freezing 🙀🙀🙀🙀
ReplyDeleteP!nk rules! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your Familie Giraffe, Gail!! What a fun idea to stamp up a whole herd of them. Super cool card. Thank you!! I agree with Lizzy on the sur-prize :))

A wonderful family of Giraffs
ReplyDeleteStunning card! I'm always a fan of lime green if you're looking for drama, Jo x
ReplyDeleteLove your gang of giraffes:-) Thanks for joining us at Kreativ Scrapping.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes from DT Sigrid
OOOOH, this project got my creative energy just exploding in my head!! Not only do I LOVE giraffes, but the way you layered that family,,,swoon!! And I have already been ruminating over the fantastic challenge over at Rubber Dance Art stamps this month, so now I just HAVE to play along too?.smile. My color of choice for you would be TEAL... Or TURQUOISE... Or BLUE-GREEN. PS Have I mentioned lately just how much I LOVE your stuff? grin
ReplyDeleteTerrific giraffe family and you picked the perfect background! Gold is always classy with black and white, and neons pop! Let Mr Random pick your surprise, too. : )
ReplyDeleteI failed where you succeeded! Congratulations! I think I love giraffes as much as you love monkeys! Love this one!
ReplyDeleteGreat card, like the colors and the image is pretty neat. Thanks for playing our challenge at One Crazy Stamper! Love it!

What a superdupernice family you got there,Gail! Say Hello from me ☺ LoL
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Hugs, Anita ♥
Giraffes are one of my favorite creatures, besides cats of course! Love your curious group peering out of your altered card. Just like the inquisiitive ones at a zoo, which always make me smile. Congratulations on completing your deck!!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to make suggestions to go with black and white....depending on my mood I might choose something dramatic like red, or soothing like taupe, or cool like ice blue, or graphic like gray. Today I look out my window and see pine green with black and white, so I will go wintery. Now what should the surprise be???? ANY of those would be wonderful, but though some people "never say die", I will say "die". Ha! Thanks for the chance to win.

Love your altered card, the giraffes are very striking.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at Simon says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

Very nice. I love the way you arranged the giraffe and it also reminds a cool fact about giraffe i.e The giraffe spots are much like our fingerprints. No two individual giraffes have exactly the same pattern. Love this gentle creatures.
ReplyDeleteSince the background color is orange and black I prefer grey color to color the image. Thanks for the chance to win the surprise giveaway.

Ah . . cute! The giraffe family is a fabulous idea. And congrats on finishing your deck of cards. I think red should be your third color. Black, white and red, oh yeah! And I love dies. : ) Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your questions, definitely red! Love dies, stamps AND embossing folders--hard to chose just one!
ReplyDeleteI love your giraffe! They are so very sweet. Well, I have to say red should be your next color because Valentine's Day is right around the corner & so B&W&Red is perfect! I am going to say dies because that's where my stash needs some help ... maybe you will help. lol Thanks, Iona, for the chance to win (I think the next full moon is Jan 23rd haha).
ReplyDeleteHI Gail, I've enjoyed watching you create cards through MFP challenges and peeking at your blog from time to time. I love your giraffe family, and what a sweet idea! I would like to suggest purple as a third color to your black and white theme. It could be either a soft lavender or a deep rich purple. Good luck on your entry and thanks so much for letting me play along......this is fun!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I agree the prize should be a random drawing of your choice, because any of them would be awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI say Turquoise with the black and white since I'm partial to blues. I'm also a die girl, can't seem to make a card without one, so I'd say die. Love the altered playing card!
ReplyDeleteone of my favorite animals, love your design!! :) Thanks, for playing along in this months challenge over at One Crazy Stamper! Smiles from Nat DT member :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea!!! So cool! Hugs, Susanne.
