G is for Glittery Giraffe Greetings

Today I would like to introduce you to Merle, the giraffe sending glittery Christmas greetings.  Merle is from a the digital stamp set from Beccy's Place.  I sized the image and sentiment in Silhouette Studio, printed on X-Press It blending card, heat set, coloured with Copic markers then trimmed to size.  I coloured the pupil of the eye with a black multiliner then added a spot of shine with a white gel pen.  I matted the image and sentiment panels, made an A5 top folding card base then adhered the layers together to complete the card.  I popped some thin foam squares under the top and bottom of the image panel so that it sat evenly over the sentiment panel and secured to the front of the card.  Lucky last came a touch of Stardust Stickles sparkle to the stars in the patterned paper.

  2. Love the idea of adding glitter to the stars in the background Tracy, it works perfectly with the sentiment you added. You did a great job resizing and colouring the image, Merle looks fabulously festive! The layout is fantastic and I like the idea of using a little bit of foam tape to even out the image over the top of the sentiment panel. Great job!
    Cheers,
    Beccy
