G Is For Giraffe

G is the latest letter in the Craft Barns Alpha/Dictionary challenge. I've chosen the word giraffe.


I used distress inks for the background and stamped some leaves and grass. I coloured them with pencil. I stamped the giraffe onto copy paper and coloured it with pencil, then I cut it out and glued it to my postcard. I added the letter G and the dictionary reference. I used PaperArtsy stamps for the background and the giraffe is an Inkadinkadoo stamp.

Thank you for looking, have a lovely weekend.
